Dry Beans — Climate

Metadata research draftEvidence limits

⚠️ Status: drafted from the literature survey. Values Unknown until source notes/full text. Apply docs/methodology/units.md (°C, mm).

Temperature

• Germination soil-temperature optimum Unknown (sensitive to suboptimal/cold seedbed — candidate 10.4141/p02-185).
• Frost: dry beans are not frost-hardy (warm-season). Frost sensitivity Unknown/expected.
• Growth optima (min/max °C) Unknown.

Heat

• Flower drop/blossom at high heat; heat stress during seed filling reduces yield (candidate 10.3389/fpls.2018.01705). Tolerance max Unknown.

Water / rainfall

• Rainfed and irrigated; mid-season drought impacts (possible SNPs for tolerance: 10.3389/fpls.2015.00546; proline screen: 10.3390/agronomy10060817). Water requirement - Unknown.
• Waterlogging sensitivity: dry beans prefer well-drained; excess water damage Unknown/flag.

Season / photoperiod

• Warm-season annual, planted after last frost. Bean types vary in day-length sensitivity. Season length Unknown.

Mexico / climate relevance

• Phaseolus grown widely in the Mexican diet and highlands; drought/heat and frijol-specific practice — flagged candidates (10.5377/rci.v8i1.568). Home-garden adaptation Unknown.
