A field 2-factor split-plot experiment was carried out over 1998-2000 at the Pawłowice Agricultural Experiment Station. The aim of the experiment was to define the reaction of three bean cultivars Longina, Małopolanka and Mela cultivated for dry seeds on foliar fertilisation with boron and molybdenum and their mixture. The length of bean vegetation period depended on the cultivar and weather conditions. Over the three-year research the longest vegetation period was recorded for Longina (121 days), and shorter Małopolanka (118 days) and Mela (115 days). Morphological features, seed yield, content of organic components and crude ash in seeds were differentiated mostly by genetic factor and much less considerably by fertilisation with microelements.
