Variety traits

Vigor — Runner bean

Phaseolus coccineus L.

Vigor in runner beans is evaluated as an indicator of genotype adaptability and tolerance to low temperatures during early growth stages. This trait directly influences the plants' ability to rapidly develop their leaf canopy and form a productive symbiotic apparatus.

In the reference 9 varieties crop Runner bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

The vigor of runner beans is assessed visually under field conditions in the first weeks after emergence. A 1 to 9 scoring scale is used to record the intensity of vegetative biomass accumulation, including plant height and leaf development, as well as the ability to maintain growth rates under low temperatures.

High vigor in this crop ensures rapid row closure, effective weed suppression, and better realization of yield potential. Unlike common beans, runner bean varieties with high initial growth energy demonstrate increased cold tolerance, which allows them to develop more successfully in cool climate conditions.
