Abstract

Optimum marketable yields of 5,560, 3,991, and 5,672 kg/ha were obtained when snap bean variety Wade was harvested using the once-over system, at 55 days; Tendergreen at 49 days, and Contender at 47 days, respectively. In the multiple harvesting system, marketable yields of Wade, Tendergreen, and Contender were of the order of 5,381, 3,632, and 6,995 kg/ha in two, three, and two pickings, respectively. Mean differences were not significant. The once-over harvesting system should be preferred because production costs are lower.
