Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important species used for food supply in human nutrition all over the world. It has multiple uses as food in genuine state or as raw material for food industry. The influence of physical factors upon the behaviour of increasing production of different cultures combining with the newest ecological technologies it is important for the agriculture of our century. One interesting approach is that of the influence of electromagnetic field influence on common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) developmental process. The aim of this research ist o emphasize the correlations between the root and stem increases in non-irradiated and irradiated conditions, in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Ardeleana). Our experiment was developed within Laboratories of the Advanced Research Centre for Environmental Protection and Assessment of Life Quality from USAMV Cluj- Napoca. The duration of this trial was 8 days, taking into account the SR 1634/99 settlements.For plant growth in low microwave field under controlled environment, a special equipment was designed, manufactured and tested at the National Institute for R&D of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies Cluj-Napoca. Both irradiated and non-irradiated conditions of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) led to strong and very strong correlations between root length and stem height. In non-irradiated conditions, strongs correlation coefficient is R = 0.865 was obtained, while the determination coefficient was R2 = 74.80%. In irradiated conditions, the correlation coefficient is R = 0.955, while the determination coefficient was R2 = 91.20%. The approach of the separate points of the regression line demonstrate the parametric dependence between variables and suitability of the statistical approach.
