t0“French Bean”
e0“foliar Mg applications showed a significant effect particularly on sugars, calcium, phosphate, sulphate and Mg contents in pods. On the other hand, a significant effect on the accumulation of nitrates was noted, especially with split applications (144% increase vs. unfertilised) and, in some cases, an antagonistic effect on K content (10-20% decrease on average)”

- Intervention effect The highest foliar Mg rate increased Bronco pod yield by 78% over untreated plants.
- Intervention effect The highest foliar Mg rate increased Cadillac pod yield by 32% over untreated plants.
- Intervention effect Split Mg applications increased Bronco yield by 109%.
- Intervention effect Split Mg applications increased Cadillac yield by 50%.
- Intervention effect Foliar Mg significantly affected pod sugar, calcium and phosphate contents.
- Intervention effect Foliar Mg significantly affected pod sulphate and magnesium contents.
- Intervention effect Split applications increased pod nitrate accumulation by 144% versus unfertilised plants.
- Intervention effect Adding Zn to the fertiliser mix gave no relevant effect.
- Recommendation The authors considered foliar Mg fertilisation promising for French bean, with care to avoid nitrate accumulation.
- Recommendation The authors judged split applications more effective.
