To investigate the effects of various cultivation practices on the quality characteristics of black beans, this study-grounded in the physiological-ecological mechanisms governing black bean quality formation-conducted a systematic investigation into key cultivation factors, including fertilization methods, planting density, and irrigation regimes, through a combination of field experiments and quality indicator analyses. The results indicate that different cultivation measures exert significant influences on the appearance, nutritional content, and processing quality of black beans. Specifically, appropriate planting density contributes to improved grain uniformity and marketability; optimized fertilization strategies significantly enhance the content of protein, lipids, and functional components (such as anthocyanins); while scientific water management improves the cooking properties and textural quality of the beans. Furthermore, these various cultivation measures synergistically influence the formation of black bean quality by regulating the plant growth environment and the processes of nutrient accumulation. Case studies further validated the practical efficacy of optimized cultivation models in enhancing the overall quality of black beans. These findings provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the high-quality and efficient production of black beans.
