The exact field experiment in split-plot design was carried out over 2001-2003 on the farm at Bodzanówek. The first factor included four technologies of bean cultivation (extensive, integrated, semi-intensive and intensive) and the second one – three bean cultivars: Igołomska, Narew and Avanti. The average yield of bean seeds increased significantly up to semi-intensive technology. The seed yields of bean cultivated in the integrated technology accounted for as much as 83% of the yields obtained in the semi-intensive and 76% of the yields in the intensive technology. The increase in bean seed yield was observed following increasing total doses of N and under moderate rainfall over the generative plant development. Igołomska and Avanti cultivars yielded significantly higher than Narew. Anthracnose and bacteriosis occurrence was limited most by intensive technology, while the lowest number of fungi colonies on bean seeds was found following integrated and semi-intensive technologies.
