ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to evaluate the growth and French pod yield of eight
bush snap bean accessions grown organically; determine the acceptability and
profitability of eight bush snap bean accessions for French pod production in La Trinidad,
Benguet; and to determine the best accessions of eight bush snap beans applied with
organic fertilizers in terms of growth and French pod yield, acceptability and profitability
in La Trinidad, Benguet.
All the eight bush snap bean accessions emerged in seven days after sowing
except for Green Crop that emerged in eight DAS. HAB 323, Green Crop, HAB 19 and
Contender were the earliest to flower in 41 DAS. Torrent produced the tallest plants while
Landmark produced the shortest plants. At 30 DAP, Green Crop recorded the highest
canopy cover while BBL 274 had increased canopy cover at 45 and 60 DAP. All
accessions produced four to six flowers per cluster and three to five pods per cluster. BBL
274 had the highest total number of French pods per plant. BBL 274 had the longest pods,
HAB 323 had the widest pods and the pod diameter of eight bush snap bean accessions
ranged from 0.2-0.5 cm. HAB 63 produced the highest French pod yield per plot and total
yield per hectare, highest ROCE and highest acceptability rating by farmers and students
together with BBL 274 and HAB 323.All the eight bush snap bean accessions exhibited
resistance to bean rust and moderately tolerant to pod borer.

INTRODUCTION
Snap bean (
Phaseolus vulgaris.L) is a food crop, popularly known as “Baguio
beans” or “lubias”. It is cultivated throughout the temperate, tropical and subtropical
areas of the world. It is the species cultivated for either dried beans or the immature green
pods. (Jose, 2004).
Snap bean is recognized as important source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals,
such as calcium & phosphorus. It is consumed mainly in the green pod stage or as fresh
pods as source of nutrients for human growth and development and as source of income
for the farmers (Seb-aten, 1997).
In Benguet where vegetable raising is one of the main sources of livelihood, snap
bean is among the popular crops being grown commercially. Farmers grow various crops
that are usually adapted to the environmental conditions in their respective locality.
Under Benguet condition, snap bean is one of the vegetable crops that perform well in
terms of growth and yield.
.
French beans are bush-type beans that produce very narrow, sometimes pencil-
thin pods. They are primarily grown for their immature green pods for export market to
European Union and elite local urban markets. The length of French beans is about four
inches and six to ten millimeter in diameter. The French beans is deep emerald in color
with tiny seeds (Decker, 2009).
In the Philippines, organic farming is being advocated. The use of resistant
varieties against diseases and insects would minimize the use of synthetic fungicides and
insecticides, is very important. Evaluation of introduced resistant and high yielding snap
bean varieties adapted to organic production is therefore necessary.

Traditionally, in the Philippines, specifically in La Trinidad, bush snap beans are
grown for their tender and smooth green fresh snap bean pods. Ideally, the snap bean
growers prefer varieties with stringless pods i.e without suture, straight and slender with
0.80-1.00 cm diameter (Tandang,
et.al., 2005). Presently, consumers are looking for
French type varieties with immature green pods since younger pods when consumed are
better are for human health.
The evaluation of growth and French pod yield of bush bean accessions in La
Trinidad Benguet is important to determine the best bush snap bean accession in terms of
French type pod yield and to encourage farmers to grow snap bean for French type pod
production as source of nutrients and higher income for they are more expensive than
ordinarily bush snap bean..
The objectives of the study were to:
1. evaluate the growth and French pod yield of eight bush snap bean accessions
grown organically in La Trinidad, Benguet;
2. determine the acceptability and profitability of eight accessions of bush snap
bean in La Trinidad, Benguet; and
3. determine the best accessions of bush snap bean applied with organic fertilizers
in terms of growth and French pod yield, acceptability and profitability in La Trinidad
Benguet.
The study was conducted at Benguet State University-Institute of Plant Breeding
Highland Crop Research Station (BSU-IPB HCRS), La Trinidad, Benguet from
December 2009 to March 2010.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Description of the Bush Snap Bean Plant
Bush snap beans (
Phaseolus vulgaris) are tender warm season annuals that
originated in part of South and Central America. They are grown for their fleshy
immature pods that reach maturity from 50-70 days after planting. As a member of the
legumes family, snap bean roots contain nodules with rhizobium species that allow the
plant to fix atmospheric nitrogen (Delahaut, 2000).
In temperate countries, the green immature pods are cooked and eaten as
vegetable. Immature pods are marketed fresh, frozen or canned, wholecut, or French- cut.
In some parts of the tropics, leaves are used as potherb and to a lesser extent the green
shelled beans are eaten (Duke, 1998)
Adaptation of Snap bean
It is reported that beans grow best on soils that hold water well and have a good
aeration and water filtration. Soil should have a pH of 5.8-6.6. Temperature is important
for rapid growth, good pod set, and early maturity (Pacher, 2002)
Snap beans grow best in areas with temperature between 150C to 210C. Planting
snap beans should be scheduled during typhoon-free months as these cannot stand
adverse condition. In Benguet, typhoons usually occur between the months of June to
November. Hence, planting should be done from December to April to avoid the on
slought of adverse weather (PCARRD, 1989).

Varietal Evaluation
Varietal evaluation is a process in crop breeding which provides comparison of
promising lines with the local check in order to establish the superiority of the lines
developed by the breeder. It is only through varietal evaluation that a breeder sees or
shows the better performance of developed lines in terms of yield and quality, resistance
to diseases and pests, stress and other parameters ( Kimeu, 1994)
Regmi (1990) stated that varietal evaluation gathers data on plant characteristics,
yield performance and pod quality. Hence, we obtain high yielding and improve cultivars
that are known to plants important role in boosting production.
The result of the study of Pog-ok (2001) revealed that Pencil pod performed
significantly better than the other varieties with regard to the number of days to flowering
and first harvesting, pod length, pod diameter and resistance. B-21 and Hav 106 gave the
highest pod yield of about 12 tons/ha. Although statistically there were similarities with
the yield of Alno and other varieties studied
Lab-oyan (1987) as cited by Cadley (1999) revealed that a space of 30 cm
between rows produced the longest pods. The test varieties and spacing on the production
had no significant interaction effect. FLO had the highest seed yield among the varieties
tested.
Paredes (2003) found that the six varieties of bush snap bean he evaluated had
varying adaptability under La Trinidad conditions. Green Crop and Contender were the
most suited varieties due to the higher production of flower and high yield.

Effect of Organic fertilizer
Organic fertilizers are 'naturally' occurring compounds manufactured through
natural processes. It contains essential nutrients to improve the health and productivity of
soil and encourage plant growth. Organic nutrients increase the abundance of soil
organisms by providing organic matter and micronutrients for organisms such as fungal
mycorrhiza, which aid plants in absorbing nutrients.
PCARRD (1982) stated that organic fertilizers supply some amount of the
nutrient requirements of the crop they promote favorable soil properties, such as
granulation and good tilt for efficient aeration, easy root penetration and improve water
holding capacity.
Amok (2003) found that snap bean plants applied with organic fertilizer
performed better than the plants without fertilizer in terms of 100 seed weight with
nodule count, fresh and dry weight of leaves and yield performance.
The application of organic fertilizer is an important practice in increasing the
productivity of the soil. The transformation and availability of phosphorus in the soil will
be more complex of organic fertilizer are used in strongly acidic soils (Chen,
et al., 2001)
According to Colting (1994) application of organic fertilizers affects favorable
changes in the soil properties. In general, the pH and organic matter content of the soil
increased after harvesting of the plants. This indicates that organic farming allows the
production of crops while enhancing soil productivity.
Generally, fertilizers are applied at planting or before planting (basal application).
Organic fertilizers are should be applied much earlier so that they will be decomposed
further and the nutrients will be already available to the plants. Fertilizers are applied not

only at planting but also side dressed during the vegetative growth stage of bean plants
during dry season. The first half of a required fertilizer should be applied at planting, and
the second half of N should be side dressed three weeks after seeding (AVRDC, 1990)
Koshino (1990) found that nutrient elements from organic fertilizers are released
slowly which is particularly important in avoiding salt injury, ensuring a continuous
supply of nutrients during the growing season, and producing products of better quality.
The organic fertilizers supplies some amount of the nutrient requirements of the
crop and promotes favorable soil properties such as granulation, efficient aeration, easy
root penetration and improved water holding capacity of the soil (Marcelino, 1995)
Abadilla (1982) reported that crops fertilized with organic matter have greater
resistant to pest and diseases. He also explained that humic acids and growth substances
are absorbed into plant tissue through the roots and they favor the formation of proteins
by influencing the synthesis of enzymes, increasing the vigor and insect resistance of the
plant.
Parnes (1986) claimed that organic matter is the principal source of nitrogen,
phosphorus and sulfur become available as the organic matter continuous to decompose,
most of the calcium, magnesium and potassium in the decaying organic residue are
discarded by the soil organisms during the first stages of decomposition and these
nutrients are quickly available to plants organic matter through its effect on physical
condition of the soil increases the amount of water available for plant growth.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
An area of 120m2 was thoroughly prepared into three blocks consisting 1x5m per
plot corresponding to the eight different accessions of bush snap bean. The experiment
was laid out following randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replication.
The seeds were sown in a double row plots at a distance of 25cm x 25cm between hills
and between rows.
Basal application of the organic fertilizer, i.e. “BSU growers’ compost” was done
at planting. It was thoroughly mixed with the soil at 5 kg per 5m2 plot. It was also side-
dressed during hilling up at three weeks after planting at 2 kg per 5m2 plot.
The following accessions of bush snap beans to be obtained from BSU-IPB
HCRS were used as treatments:

Data gathered:
1. Maturity
a. Days from sowing to emergence. This was taken by counting the number of
days from planting up to the time when at least 50% of plants per plot emerged.
b. Days from sowing to flowering. This was recorded by counting the number of
days from planting up to the time when at least 50% of the plants set flowers.
c. Days from sowing to first harvesting of fresh pods. This was done by counting
the number of days from sowing to first harvesting of fresh pods per plot. Fresh pods are
ready for harvesting when they are generally about as thin as a pencil and when the pods
are immature green.
d. Days from sowing to the last harvesting of fresh pods. This was done by
counting the number of days from sowing to last harvesting of fresh pods per plot.
2. Canopy cover. This was gathered at 30, 45 and 60 DAP using a 120 cm x 60cm
wooden frame with the ten equal sized (12cmx6cm) grids in ten sample plants per plot.
3. Plant height
a. Initial height (cm). Ten sample plants was selected at random and measured
from the base of the plant to the tip of the youngest shoot at 30 DAP using meter stick.
b. Final height (cm).This was done by measuring the ground level to the tip of
plant using meter stick during the last harvesting.
4. Reproductive Characters
a. Number of flowers per cluster. This was taken by counting the number of
flowers per cluster per plant using ten samples per plot.

b. Number of pod clusters per plant. This was done by counting the number of
pod clusters per plant from ten random sample plants per plot.
c. Percent pod set per cluster. This was taken by using the formula:
Percent pod setting (%) = Total no. of pods/cluster x 100
Total no. of flowers/cluster
d. Number of pods per cluster. This was taken by counting the number of pods per
cluster using ten sample clusters per plot.
e. Total number of pods per plant. This was done by counting the number of pods
per plant using ten samples per plot.
5. Fresh Pod Characters
a. Pod length (cm). This was taken by measuring the length in cm of sample pods
from the pedicel end to the blossom end using foot ruler.
b. Pod width (cm). This was taken using the foot ruler at the middle portion of
five sample pods per plot.
c. Pod texture. This was taken by touching the pod and the texture feels coarse or
smooth.
d. Pod straightness. This was recorded as either straight or curved.
e. Pod shape. This was recorded as flat or round.
f. Pod color. This was recorded as green, dark green and others when the pods
were fully developed.
g. Pod diameter (mm). The diameter of ten sample pods per plot was measured
using vernier caliper.

6. Yield and Yield Component
a. Number and weight of marketable fresh pods per plot (kg/5m2). This was
measured by counting and weighing the marketable pods per plot. Pods are considered
marketable when they are straight, tender & free from insect & diseases damages.
b. Number and weight of non-marketable fresh pods (kg/5m2). Non-marketable
pods that are abnormal in shape and affected by pest and diseases were counted and
weighed per plot.
c. Total yield per plot (kg/5m2). The total weight of marketable and non-
marketable pods per plot was computed at the end of the harvesting duration.
d. Computed yield per hectare (t/ ha). This was computed using the formula:
Yield (t/ha) = Total yield/plot (kg/m2) x 2
*where 2 is a factor to be used to convert yield in kg/5m2 plot into yield per
hectare in ton/ha.
7. Reaction to bean rust and pod borer. This was determined at peak of harvesting
stage using the respective rating scales for bean rust infection and pod borer infestation
used at BSU-IPB HCRS by Tandang
et al., in 2008 as follows:
a. Bean rust.
Scale Percent infection Remarks
1 Less than 20% infection per plot Highly resistant
2 20-40% infection /plot Moderately resistant
3 41-60% infection/plot Mildly resistant
4 61-80% infection/plot Susceptible
5 80-100% infection/plot Very susceptible

b. Pod borer.
Scale Percent infestation Remarks
1 No infestation Highly tolerant
2 1-25% of the plant/plot was infested Moderately tolerant
3 25-50% of the plant/plot was infested Mildly tolerant
4 51-75% of the plant/plot was infested Susceptible
5 76-100% of the plant/plot was infested Very susceptible
8. Return on cash expenses (ROCE) Production cost and gross and net income were
recorded and determined using the following formula:
ROCE =Gross sales-total expenses x 100
Total expenses
9. Visual evaluation. Ten farmers and students were invited in the field to serve as
panelist to evaluate the eight varieties of bush snap bean at peak of harvest stage. They
were also requested to make their own selection based on the following:
a. Plant appearance. This was evaluated by the farmers/students based on the
growth of eight French bush snap bean accessions using the questionnaire in Appendix
Table 1.
b. Pod characters. This was evaluated by the farmers/students based on pod shape,
pod texture, pod color, pod straightness and general acceptability of the ten French
bush snap bean accessions using the same questionnaire in Appendix Table 1.

Number of Days from Sowing
to Flowering
Highly significant differences in terms of days from sowing to flowering were
observed among the eight bush snap bean accessions (Table. 1). HAB 323, Green Crop,
HAB 19 and Contender were the earliest to flower at 41 days. The other accessions
flowered within 42- 44 days after sowing. The flowering difference could be attributed to
their different genetic make-up.
Number of Days from Sowing
to First and Last Harvesting
There were significant differences among treatments in terms of the number of
days from sowing to first harvesting and last harvesting. HAB 323, Green Crop, and
Contender were the earliest to harvest at 56 days after sowing (DAS). The other
accessions were harvested at 57 to 59 days.
Again, HAB 323, Green Crop, and Contender were the earliest accessions that
reached last harvesting. BBL 274 and Landmark were the latest to reach last harvesting
Differences on the days to flowering may be attributed to varietal characteristics of the
plant.
Plant Height
The plant height at 30 and 77 DAP did not significantly differ among the eight
French bush snap bean accessions evaluated. Plant height ranged from 10 cm to 14 cm at
30 DAP and 13 to 17 cm at 77 DAP.

Total Yield per 5m2 and per hectare
HAB 63 gave higher total French pod yield than the comparable French pod yield
of all other bush snap beans tested (Table 9). The total yield per plot and per hectare of
the eight French bush snap bean accessions could be attributed to high marketable and
non-marketable yield.

Return on Cash Expense (ROCE)
HAB 63 had the highest return on cash expense (ROCE) followed by Contender,
Torrent and BBL 274 while HAB 19 had the lowest return on cash expense because of
their lower pod yield.
This indicates that high ROCE could be realized from growing bush snap bean
organically for French pod production.

Acceptability
Ten farmers and students were invited to evaluate the harvested pods of the eight
French bush snap bean accessions. The farmers consisted of five females and one male
with ages ranging from 35-50 years old while four of the students had ages ranging from
19- 21 years old. The result of the visual evaluation based on plant appearance, pod
characters, and general acceptability of the eight French bush snap bean accessions are
shown in Table 11.
Based on appearance, HAB 63 Landmark and HAB 323 were liked moderately.
BBL 274, Torrent and Contender were liked slightly. HAB 19 was disliked slightly and
Green Crop was disliked moderately.

In terms of French pod characters, BBL 274 and HAB 323 were liked very much
and the other accessions were liked moderately except for HAB 19 which was likes
slightly. Only Green Crop was disliked very much because of its flat, big and coarse
pods.
HAB 63, BBL 274 and HAB 323 were liked very much by farmers and students
in La Trinidad. HAB 63 was robust and produced many pods. BBL 274 produced
straight, smooth, green French pods while Torrent, Landmark and Contender were liked
moderately because of their desirable characters. Green Crop and HAB 19 were liked
slightly

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The study aimed to evaluate the growth and French pod yield of eight bush snap
bean accessions grown organically in La Trinidad, Benguet; to determine their
acceptability and profitability; and to determine the best accessions in terms of growth and
French pod yield, acceptability and profitability in La Trinidad, Benguet.
All the accessions emerged in seven days except for Green Crop which emerged
one day later. HAB 323, Green Crop, HAB 19 and Contender were the earliest to flower at
41 DAS. The earliest accessions to harvest for French pod production accessions were
harvested two to three days later.
All the accessions had comparable initial and final plant height, and canopy cover
at 30, 45 and 60 DAP. The eight bush snap bean accessions produced four to six flowers
per cluster and three to five pods per cluster.
BBL 274 had the highest percentage pod setting while HAB 323, Green Crop and
Contender had the highest number of pod clusters per plant. Contender produced the
highest total number of French pods per plot. All the accessions had comparable pod
length, width and diameter.
The eight accessions had statistically similar number and weight of marketable
French pods per plot. The accessions produced higher total French pod yield per plot and
per hectare. All the accessions evaluated had high resistance to bean rust and were
moderately tolerant to pod borer under organic production.
The highest ROCE was obtained from producing HAB 63, BBL 274 and HAB
323. The accessions were liked very much based on plant morphology, pod characters and
general acceptability.

Conclusion
The eight bush snap bean accessions were comparable in days from sowing to
emergence, to plant height, canopy cover, flowers per cluster, percentage pod setting, pod
clusters per plant, number and weight of marketable French pods, total number of pods per
plot, pod length, width and diameter.
The accessions differed in number of days from sowing to flowering, to first and
last harvesting, pods per cluster, number and weight of marketable French pods per plot
and total French pod yield.
HAB 63 was the highest French pod yielder and the most profitable to grow
organically although all other accessions had comparable French pod yield and ROCE.
HAB 63, BBL 274 and HAB 323 were acceptable to farmers and students because
of their good growth and pod characteristics.
Recommendation
Based on the results of this study, HAB 63,BBL 274 and HAB 323 could be
planted in La Trinidad Benguet for French pod production because of their good growth,
high yielding ability, profitability and acceptability during the dry season.
