Abstract

Phaseolus vulgaris is known as the common bean. This species  is common in Africa and Asian countries, since it’s easy to  grow. One of the specialised features of this bean is that it is  grown in moist and well-aerated soils, as well as the fact that  these seeds can easily be dispersed and germinated. A lot of  research has been performed in Phaseolus vulgaris, and very  little is not known about plant belonging to this genus.  Classroom experiments in Phaseolus vulgaris are thus  trustworthy and are well-discussed examples of the earlier  work performed on the red speckle bean. This paper  emphasises on the specialised features prevalent in beans of  Phaseolus vulgaris.
