Variety traits
Bean uniformity
Phaseolus vulgaris L.
A complex indicator of seed homogeneity in terms of size and plant development in the field, critical for processing quality and the efficiency of mechanized bean harvesting.
In the reference 14 varieties crop Common bean, where this is mentioned in the description.
Regarding bean grains, uniformity characterizes the homogeneity of a batch in terms of linear dimensions, including the length, width, and thickness of the pods. Quality standards set an indicator of at least 80%, while in breeding practice, values can reach up to 96%. A high degree of seed uniformity ensures the predictability of technological processes in flour production and guarantees uniform culinary readiness of the product.
Under field conditions, plant uniformity determines the homogeneity of their development in terms of height and maturation time. This parameter is of critical importance for industrial cultivation, as the synchronous maturation of pods allows for efficient mechanized harvesting. In variety testing, crop uniformity is evaluated within the framework of DUS protocols using a visual scoring scale that records the proportion of plants lagging in development.
