Variety traits

Bean plant height

Phaseolus vulgaris L.

A biometric indicator of beans, determined by growth type and critical for selecting agronomic practices and harvesting mechanization. It is measured in centimeters from the base to the top of the stem.

In the reference 106 varieties crop Common bean, where this is mentioned in the description.

Common beans are classified into bush and climbing forms. Determinate bush forms reach a height of 25–60 cm, whereas indeterminate climbing forms can grow up to 2–5 meters or more.

Plant height and the associated height of the lowest pod attachment determine a variety's suitability for mechanized harvesting. For effective machinery operation, the pod attachment height should be at least 15 cm, with bush varieties requiring hilling starting from 15 cm of growth to prevent lodging.
