The influence of calcium, sulfur, moisture, and temperature on the fiber development of snap beans (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1965)Two different greenhouse experiments were conducted to determine the influence of some environmental factors on the increment of the fibrous sheath in the green snap bean pod, using Wade variety. Fiber was determined by ...
