Snap bean is an important crop in the United States. Insecticides are commonly used against pests on snap bean, but many pests have developed resistance to the insecticides and beneficials are threatened by the insecticides. Therefore, host plant resistance is a sustainable alternative. Population dynamics of insect pests and beneficials were assessed on 24 snap bean cultivars every week for six weeks. The lowest number of sweetpotato whitefly () eggs was observed on cultivar 'Jade', and the fewest nymphs were found on cultivars 'Gold Mine', 'Golden Rod', 'Long Tendergreen', and 'Royal Burgundy'. The numbers of potato leafhopper () and tarnished plant bug () adults were the lowest on cultivars 'Greencrop' and 'PV-857'. The highest numbers of adults were found in Week 1 (25 days following plant emergence) for and Mexican bean beetle (); Week 3 for cucumber beetle, kudzu bug (), and ; Weeks 3 and 4 for thrips; Week 4 for ; and Weeks 5 and 6 for bees. Temperature and relative humidity correlated with , , bee, and predator ladybird beetle populations. These results provide valuable information on the integrated pest management of snap beans.

The snap bean ( L.) is highly sensitive to both phosphorus (P) deficiency and hypoxic stress, which together can significantly hinder plant growth, nutrient uptake, and yield; however, limited information exists on the effect of P and oxygen (O) fertilization to alleviate these stresses and enhance yield. A two-year field experiment assessed the effects of P and O fertilization on plant growth, pod yield, and P uptake in acidic sandy soil.

Background: Critical care beds are a limited resource, yet research indicates that recommendations for postoperative critical care admission based on patient-level risk stratification are not followed. It is unclear how prioritisation decisions are made in real-world settings and the effect of this prioritisation on outcomes.
Methods: This was a prespecified analysis of an observational cohort study of adult patients undergoing inpatient surgery, conducted in 274 hospitals across the UK and Australasia during 2017.

Pod quality and yield traits in snap bean ( L.) influence consumer preferences, crop adoption by farmers, and the ability of the product to be commercially competitive locally and globally. The objective of the study was to identify the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for pod quality and yield traits in a snap × dry bean recombinant inbred line (RIL) population.

Introduction: Effective weed management tools are crucial for maintaining the profitable production of snap bean ( L.). Preemergence herbicides help the crop to gain a size advantage over the weeds, but the few preemergence herbicides registered in snap bean have poor waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus) control, a major pest in snap bean production.
