Vitazyme on Bush Beans – 2013-San Juan Acateno, Teziutlan, Puebla, Mexico

1. The Product Vitazyme, applied as a seed treatment at dosages of 200, 250 and 300 ml/30 kg of seeds/hectare, followed by a leaf spray in early bloom at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 liters/ha, respectively, induced a significant effect on the variables days to flowering, days to physiological maturity, and days to harvest, as well as on the number of pods per plant, length of pods, and the number of seeds per pod, recording significant statistical differences as compared to the untreated control.
2. There was a significant effect of the Vitazyme, applied as a seed treatment at dosages of 200, 250 and 300 ml/30 kg of seeds/hectare, followed by a leaf spray in early bloom at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 l/ha, respectively, on bean yield, since it recorded statistically higher values than the untreated control.
3. With regard to grain quality variables, only the rate of 300 ml/30 kg of seeds/hectare seed treatment followed by a leaf spray of 1.5 l/ha, induced statistical differences with the control; however, all Vitazyme treatments in every tested rate recorded better values than the untreated control.
4. There were no toxic effects on the dry bean crop after applying Vitazyme, in seed treatment at rates of 200, 250 and 300 ml/30 kg of seeds/hectare, followed by a foliar spray in early bloom at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 liters/hectare, respectively.
