BRESOV WP5 Common Bean, phenotypic data

Partners P6-FiBL, P11-VRDS, P16-SERIDA, P18-ITAKA, P21-SECL conducted 2 years of trials except P11-VRDS who conducted 3 years, the first two of them in two locations each. The file BRESOV_BEAN_DATA_descriptors.xlsx contains the list of all the cultivars/lines tested per partner and year, as well as all the descriptors used in the data files. For each trait the average value of the repetitions is reported.

P6-FiBL: Trials were conducted in spring/summer 2020 and 2021 at an organic farming cooperative in Dietikon, Switzerland.  Plots are randomly distributed per block. Blocks are four seed beds.In 2020, the trial was sown on the 3rd of July (direct sowing), almost 2 months later than normal in this location due to the late availability of seeds from the seed multiplication. The 8 varieties were cultivated in 4 plots per variety for an outcome of approx. 25 Plants/m2 outcome, 9.375m2 per plot, half of each plot was harvested green (the data in this dataset) and the rest was left to be harvested as dry beans (dry beans data not included). In 2021, seed were sown on 10.05.2021 in rows spaced 0.5m, at a density of 25-35 plant/m2, in 17.6m2 per variety plot and 4 repetitions per variety. No fertilizer was applied. The harvest of green beans was carried 3 times a week from 07 July to 09 August 2021. 

P11-VRDSVRDS conducted trials in two location in 2020 and 2021, and for an additional year in one location in 2022. The two locations are a Romanian organic Farm (RO FARM) and P11-VRDS experimental farm on-station. Four plots (7.5 m2 and 80 plants/plot) per variety, were randomized on a field of 300m2, at each of the 2 locations and for each of the three trials years. every year of trial.

P16-SERIDAThe trials of snap bean cultivars were carried out on the field of an organic farmer in Asturias, Spain under the supervision of SERIDA staff during the years 2020 and 2021. The field trial included 12 cultivars (in 2020) and three replicates per cultivar with 20-25 plants distributed in plots of 4.5 m2.P18-ITAKAITAKA conducted 3 bean trials, two under greenhouse in 2020 and 2021 (September to December) and a third trial in open field in 2021.  The trials were conducted with 4 replicates per variety on an area of 245 m2 (18m x 13,5m greenhouse) in the greenhouse trials and open field trial.  Variety plots were randomly distributed within blocks. Each block consisted of one repetition of all varieties in the trial.

P21-SECLSECL conducted their bean variety trial on their organic experimental farm in open field from July to September 2020 and June to September 2021. A complete random block design with varieties and four replicates per variety were used. In 2020, each experimental unit consisted of 88 plants sown into two plots of 1.5m wide and 4m length (12m², 7.4 plants/m²). In 2021, each experimental plot was 5m in length and 1.5m in width and beans were sown at 13 plants/m².
