Effect
Atonik treated Common bean, cv. Mexican Black, grown in a field had on average no significant difference in 1000 seed weight (g 1000-1) (-1.1%), no difference in seed yield (g m-2) (+32.6 %), increased number of pods (per m-2) (+44.9%), no difference in number of seeds (per m-2) (+34.9 %), the seed had no difference in protein (mg g-1) (+6.3%), no difference in FRAP (µM Trolox/ml) (+1.2%), no difference in ABTS (µM Trolox/ml) (+21.4%), no difference in proline (µM mL-1) (-9%), no difference in anthocyanins (mg g-1 DM) (-8.3%), no difference in total flavonoids (mg g-1 DM)(+8.5%), no difference in reducing power (mg TE g-1 DM) (-2%), no difference in total phenols (+14.7%), no difference in NDF (% DM) (-5.6%), no difference in ADF (% DM) (+3.2%), no difference in ADL (% DM) (+31.7%), no difference in HCEL (% DM) (-15.9%), and no difference in CEL (% DM) (-4.8%), compared to untreated control plants, when averaged across three growing seasons and different treatment methods. All treatment methods had a positive significant effect on the number of pods. The double application of the high dose also had a positive significant effect on the seed yield and total phenolics. The highest profitability was also demonstrated in the case of the double foliar application of Atonik at both concentrations tested (+ 870.21-997.43 EUR/ha).
