French Bean

Despite the advantages of greenhouse cultivation, French bean is rarely grown in greenhouses of South-East European (SEE) countries. Reasons are economic due to high fuel consumption for greenhouse heating. On the other side, greenhouses are mostly non-heated so French bean cultivation in that kind of greenhouses does not result with high income. High temperature requirements significantly affect location and growing period selection. Because of the short growing season, which lasts between 60 and 80 days (dwarf French bean) ; it is suitable for growing in the spring or autumn, when temperatures are too low for open field cultivation. In this chapter, environmental requirements, principles of greenhouse production as well as plant care measures for these minor species according to GAP recommendations are presented.
