Extract

Phaseolus vulgaris is grown in the U.K. primarily for its edible immature pods (dwarf French beans). The possibility of also using this species as a combinable break crop in south-east England was investigated during 1972–80 when trials were undertaken on the nitrogen fertilizer requirement for commercial seed production.
