The hyacinth bean is an old domesticated pulse and multi-purpose crop. [37] [38] [39] L. purpureus has been cultivated in India as early as 2500 BC. [40] Due to seed availability of one forage cultivar (cv. Rongai), it is often grown as forage for livestock [41] and as an ornamental plant. [42]

Field bean is a general term for several plants found growing within fields or shrubbery and may refer to: Lablab purpureus (the hyacinth bean) Phaseolus vulgaris (the string bean)
In 1879 Beal started one of the longest-running experiments in botany. He filled 20 bottles with a mixture of sand and seeds, with each bottle containing 50 seeds from 21 species of plant. Then the bottles were buried, their necks pointing down to exclude water.
A common misconception is that the epicotyl, being closer to the apex of the plant, is the first part to emerge after germination - rather, the hypocotyl, the region of the stem between the point of attachment of the cotyledons and the root - forms a hook during hypogeal germination and pushes out of the soil, allowing the more delicate tissues ...

Warm air : Exposition of seeds to warm air (50 to 70°C, depending on duration) kills B. rufimanus developing into the seeds at the same time it lowers water content. However, warmth can decrease germination rates of the seeds and degrade the visual aspect and the protein content of the seeds, which would be problematic for the seed market.
