Metadata research draftEvidence limits

⚠️ Status: drafted from the literature survey. Values Unknown until source notes/full text.

Soil type / texture

Section titled “Soil type / texture”
  • Dry beans grow on many soils but prefer well-drained loam. Heavy/waterlogged specialization Unknown.
  • Soil type availability via data.

Drainage

Section titled “Drainage”
  • Sensitive to waterlogging. drainage_requirement high on data/crops/dry-beans.yaml, pending source. Compost helps on saline soil (candidate 10.1007/s40093-016-0141-7) — flag.

pH

Section titled “pH”
  • Prefers near-neutral (6–7); acidity limits. Range Unknown.

Salinity

Section titled “Salinity”
  • Salt impact at germination (candidate 10.15835/nbha4017493) and salinity screening (proline for tolerance: 10.3390/agronomy10060817). Tolerance Unknown.

Organic matter / fertility

Section titled “Organic matter / fertility”
  • Inoculation + organic matter interplay with N (see fertilization.md). Soil-building by legume strip — relevance.

Preparation

Section titled “Preparation”
  • Fine, friable seedbed preferred. Soil preparation/tillage at small scale — Unknown.

Structured-data impact

Section titled “Structured-data impact”
  • Feeds soil of data/crops/dry-beans.yaml (preferred_ph, drainage, salinity).
