FEATURES OF GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT AND ACCUMULATION OF DRY MATTER BY PLANTS OF HIGHLY PRODUCTIVE VARIETIES OF VEGETABLE BEANS IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHT-BANK FOREST-STEPPE OF UKRAINE

Abstract

The primary achievement of the high quality of leguminous crops, including green beans, is the solution to the country’s food security by providing the population with fresh, wholesome products. Expanding the assortment of vegetable products, diversifying the diet, as one of the tasks of vegetable growing, is impossible due to the wider introduction of rare crops. To some extent, this is connected with the consequences of the stereotype of a simplified understanding of the technology of growing beans as a high-protein leguminous crop. Beans have long been a traditional crop in Ukraine. However, today the demand for it is not satisfied. The main producer of green beans will continue to be the individual sector and some specialized farms. One of the main reasons is the lack of high-yielding varieties, which prevents its cultivation in industrial conditions. The study of varietal diversity of green beans for different directions of their use and growing technologies will make it possible to expand the variety of leguminous vegetables and increase the level of providing the population with cheap, scarcely available protein. The growth and development of green bean plants has its own characteristics and depends on the hereditary properties of its organism, as well as on environmental conditions, which are interconnected. Development is impossible without growth. Growth is one of the features of development under which plant processes occur, but they are not always the same.
