Materials used in this chapter were published in the book Biostimulant Albit for
increasing yields and protection of agricultures against diseases, A.K. Zlotnikov,
Ed. Prof. À. Melkumova. All-Russia Institute of Plant Protection, Russia, 2006.
On french bean, Albit is applied as antidote for
decrease of side phytotoxic effect of pesticides. In Russia, Albit is officially
registered as a plant growth regulator of french bean.
Albit increases field germination capacity, accelerates plant growth and development,
improves plant resistance to unfavorable conditions of the environment, provides
defense against plant diseases, increases french bean yield and improves the
yield quality.
Application recommendations. It is recommended presowing
seed treatment (50 mL/t) and foliar spraying at
the budding stage (30 mL/hà, ÂBCH 50-60).
On french bean, Albit has been tested since 2001 in field trials of All-Russia
Institute of Vegetable Selection and Seed Breeding (Moscow oblast) and in other
institutes and farms, including foreign countries – China, USA, Turkey and
others.
On french bean var. Minutka and Sekunda Albit was applied
in 2001 and 2003 for seed treatment (50 mL/t) and for foliar spraying at the
budding stage (30 mL/hà). According to long-term field trials, Albit application
increased french bean yield by 0.45 t/ha (16.3%) and also field
germination by 5-10%.
In 2014, 3-fold Albit application on french bean var. Caprice promoted
to development of vegetative mass of plants, root system, earlier and harmonious
flowering; the number of pods per plant was by 70% more, than in control (Fàrm
Dan King, Ashburn, Georgia, USA, Fig. 1).

In 2011, Albit was applied for seed treatment of french bean (province Shandong,
China). 20 days after Albit treatment, plants had by 2 leaves more, than untreated
plants and were in 2 times higher; length of roots was by 50% more, than in
control.
In 2016, Albit was applied in Turkey. In conditions of dry summer in province
Isparta, Albit application gave 3 t/hà of french bean extra yield (yield increase
was 30% to control) (Fig. 2).

performance of Albit on french bean, available
