Vining habit — Phaseolus coccineus

Phaseolus coccineus L.

Vining habit is a qualitative characteristic of the growth type in runner beans, which determines the morphological form of the plant and the necessity for vertical supports.

In the reference 53 varieties crop Runner bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

The vining trait is assessed as a growth habit: climbing or bush. For typical climbing varieties of Phaseolus coccineus, the main stem length ranges from 2 to 7 meters, while dwarf bush forms have limited growth within 0.1–0.5 meters.

A high degree of vining requires the installation of trellises or stakes to prevent the stems from trailing, which hinders agronomic management and harvesting. This trait also determines the vegetative vigor of the plant, which is important to consider when calculating planting density and nutrient supply.
