Which Agronomic Practices Increase the Yield and Quality of Common Bean (<i>Phaseolus vulgaris</i> L.)? A Systematic Review Protocol

The common bean (<i>Phaseolous vulgaris</i> L.) is a grain legume functionally characterized by its capacity for symbiotic of biological nitrogen fixation. As such, it does not demand the application of synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer and can offer environmental benefits as part of holi...
