Bean plants doesn't grow well when the soil is too acidic. That is, because of aluminum toxicity or manganese toxicity. Aluminum is not an essential element for plants but too much can harm plants. Too much aluminum reduces the growth of the root. Manganese toxicity is when the plant takes up too much manganese in plants, which limits the uptake of other important, essential minerals the plant needs. It affects the metabolic processes and leads to sterility. A few signs are chlorosis of younger leaves and brown or yellow spots on the leaf. Also, to mention, soil with a pH lower than 5.8 has a greater chance of having diseases.
