Variety traits

Bean seedling vigor

Phaseolus vulgaris L.

A quality indicator of bean seeds that determines the embryo's ability to germinate and form a healthy seedling using seed storage reserves under field conditions.

In the reference 119 varieties crop Common bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess bean seedling vigor, field methods recording the percentage of emergence by a specific date are used, as well as laboratory methods based on weighing seedlings or calculating a vigor index, which accounts for the mass and length of shoots and roots. Rating scales from 1 to 9 and automated image analysis systems are also employed to evaluate the uniformity of development.

High seedling vigor is critical for beans due to their slow initial development, allowing the crop to compete more effectively with weeds. This indicator serves as a measure of seed viability and allows for the prediction of field emergence under temperature or water stress, ensuring uniform crop stands.
