Spanish term or phrase: cuerda de entable
Se resalta la presencia de individuos de sauce dentro de los cultivos de frijol los cuales se distribuyen uniformemente y ayudan a sostener la **cuerda del entable** para el fríjol.

I get that this is the cord that holds up the bean plants, but is there a special name for it?

string/twine
Explanation:
It's as simple as 'string' or 'twine'!

It is a good idea to twist some gardening twine round the bamboo canes, this will give the growing plants more to grab hold of.

Where space is really short, this type of structure can be used for container growing runner beans. In this case, insert one cane centrally in the container, tie six or so lengths of garden twine to the top of the cane and secure the other ends of the twine to the edge of the container. Plant three or four seeds, which will then grow up the twine. The plants will need their tips pinching out when they reach the top of the twine.

Supporting the plants- To grow plants up poles or canes, push these supports into in two rows about 45 cm apart. Set them in facing pairs with about 30 cm between each other, and insert them at an angle so that each pair crosses. Tie additional poles horizon tally at the crossing point to brace the structure. Or use plastic, string or wire netting.

Before planting, create a support for climbing French and runner beans. Either make a wigwam with 2.4m (8ft) canes, lashed together with string at the top, or create a parallel row of canes, which have their tops tightly secured to a horizontal cane. Each row should be 60cm (23in) apart and canes spaced 15cm (6in) apart in the row.

agree  Zilin Cui: you gave such a thorough explanation, Helena! I was thinking something along the lines "support string" "strings ... to hold the bean plants in place"
