| Research Type | Departmental Research | ||
| Experiment Background | Yard long bean or pole type vegetable cowpea or snake bean or Chinese long bean or asparagus bean [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. subsp. sesquipedalis (L.) Verdc.] is an important vegetable of Fabaceae family. The tender green pods rich in crude protein (28%), iron (2.5 mg 100 g-1 ), calcium (80 mg 100 g-1 ), phosphorus (74 mg 100 g-1 ), vitamin A (941 IU 100 g1 ), vitamin C (13 mg 100 g-1 ) and dietary fibre (2 g 100 g-1 ) make it an excellent vegetable (Singh et al., 2001). Yard long bean is a day neutral plant, and can tolerate heat and relatively dry conditions better than the pole bean. Pods of yard long bean have tremendous economic impact since the local people use them for making their daily diets into different kinds of dishes. Protected cultivation of vegetables emphasizes the need for having appropriate plant densities in order to boost up the production by utilizing the available space and nutrient applied. The decision on the number of plants to be grown in a given area of greenhouse is an important consideration for better light interception during the growth of yard long bean. Looking into these perspectives | ||
