- Observation Salt stress significantly affected bean growth performance.
- Observation Salt stress significantly affected bean proximate composition.
- Intervention effect Sodium chloride reduced overall bean development, especially at higher concentrations.
- Observation Sodium bicarbonate was less harmful to bean growth than sodium chloride.
- Observation Some potassium chloride treatments maintained relatively better bean growth performance.
- Observation Bean seed crude protein remained relatively stable across salt treatments, at approximately 11.96% to 13.31%.
- Intervention effect Sodium chloride treatments produced minimal change in bean carbohydrate content.
- Intervention effect Sodium bicarbonate caused moderate increases in bean carbohydrate content.
- Intervention effect Potassium chloride progressively raised bean carbohydrate content.
- Observation Untreated sowing seeds had the highest carbohydrate content.
- Observation White bean cultivars showed greater tolerance to moderate salinity than brown beans during germination and early shoot development.
