Abstract
Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is an annual plant from the legume family known as a source of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates. This study analyzed the effects of sowing time, nitrogen application, and seed inoculation with nodule bacteria on morphological traits, yield components, and bean grain yield (Galeb variety). The experiment was conducted in 2023 as a three-factor field trial under dry farming conditions on vertisol soil (village Dragovac near Požarevac). Meteorological conditions during the growing season were not favorable for bean growth and development. Results indicate that, on average, for the examined factors, the plant height was 38.7 cm. The tallest plants were recorded in the first sowing period (41.8 cm), while the shortest were in the third sowing period (34.2 cm). The average number of pods per plant was 9.6. For sowing dates and nitrogen levels, the variant with seed inoculation showed 19.5% more pods per plant. The average number of grains per plant was 45.3, and applying 100 kg ha ¹ of nitrogen resulted in ⁻ 42.5% more grains per plant. The average grain mass per plant was 6.9 g, with seed inoculation increasing it by 2.9%, while 100 kg ha ¹ of nitrogen led to a 19.0% increase. The average bean ⁻ ⁻ grain yield was 1916 kg ha ¹, with the highest yield (2198.9 kg ha ¹) obtained from the combination ⁻ of first sowing time, seed inoculation, and 100 kg ha ¹ nitrogen application.
