Abstract:The relationships between a number of agronomic practices, Fusarium root rot (FRR) measurements and yield variables were characterized at different growth stages in 122 commercial bean fields in Zanjan, Iran. Mean FRR incidence, severity and index differed among growth stages and years. A lower FRR index at growth stage R9 and higher yields were detected in Red beans compared to Pinto and White beans. FRR severity affected the number of pods and seeds per plant. Despite the lack of an impact of initial drought on FRR and yield factors, FRR levels were higher following frequent irrigations at 2–3 days intervals than at longer intervals at R6-7. The highest FRR index at R6-7 (51.9%) and incidence at R9 (69.1%) were associated with the densest category of plant populations. Yield components differed significantly between the levels of plant density at R9. FRR levels at V3 were lower for June plantings than for May-second-week plantings. Lower FRR ratings and higher yields were detected at a seeding depth of 0–5 cm in comparison to 10–20 cm. At R9, FRR levels on beans following maize were lower than those following barley, bean, tomato or wheat. At V3, FRR severity was greater in fields that received 50–500 kg/ha of urea compared to non-fertilized fields. Greater mean FRR index at R6-7 and lower yield levels were associated with the greatest weed density compared to weed-free fields. This new information benefits the systematic understanding of interactions between bean yield, FRR and various agronomic variables at large-scale.
