The Alonsó vegetable bean variety is a mid-late bush plant with a stem length of 35-45 cm. The plant has large, green, and wrinkled leaves, while the flowers are small and white. Pods at technical maturity are green, slightly curved, about 15 cm long with a width of 1.2-1.4 cm. Their cross-section varies from elliptical to oval, with a medium-length beak. The attachment height of lower pods is 15 cm, and the mass of 100 pods reaches 620 g. The bean seeds are widely elliptical, white with weak veining. The variety is distinguished by excellent taste qualities and the absence of fibers, making it particularly attractive to consumers.
Alonsó boasts high marketable yield, reaching 120.8 c/ha, and resistance to diseases such as anthracnose (Lambda race) and common mosaic. The plant is sun-loving but capable of tolerating partial shade, and moderately moisture-loving. Sowing is recommended after the threat of frost, at a depth of 3-4 cm, while harvest should be collected before the pods harden, ensuring optimal product quality.
The Alonsó bean variety is intended for use fresh, for processing, and for long-term storage. Due to its characteristics, it is suitable for cultivation in various regions. The plant has a powerful root system, which contributes to its stability and adaptability to weather conditions. High taste qualities and marketable appearance make this variety in demand both for home use and commercial production.
