Effect
Nomoren treated Common bean grown under normal irrigation, showed significantly increased number of pods (+2.4%), no difference in mean pod weight, increased yield (+6.8%), increased 100 seed weight (+14.9%), no difference in number of seeds per pod (+1.9%), seeds had decreased moisture content (-4%), increased fat (+31.8%), increased proteins (+10.5%), increased ash (+8.9%), decreased carbohydrates (-8.9%), increased energy (+2.1%), decreased N (-2.3%), no difference in K, increased P (+5.3%), decreased in Na (-72.2%), increased Ca (+13.5%), decreased Mg (-18.6%), increased Cu (+4.4%), increased Zn (+38.5%), decreased Mn (-30%), decreased total tocopherols, increased oxalic acid (+167.9%), decreased malic acid (-22.2%), increased ascorbic acid (+8.8%), increased total organic acids (+8.3%), decreased sucrose (-14.9%), decreased total sugars (-14.9%), decreased C16:0, decreased C18:0, decreased C18:1n9c, decreased C18:2n6c, increased C18:3n3, decreased SFA, decreased MUFA and increased PUFA, when totalled across two harvests, compared to untreated control plants.
