32 Sand and Sandy Loam Strip Trial Objective Evaluate different bean types using a strip trial format. Sand and Sandy loam soils present unique challenges for growers. Upright top yielding varieties from the plot trials were selected for each DRK, Pinto, White, Black, Adzuki, Cranberry Type. A top yielding soybean variety was used for comparison between types. A mung bean variety was also included due to it s ability to deal well with the lighter ground. Variety trials have a more controlled environment with minimal disease, weed and insect pressure in order to minimize distortions. These strip trials will test the new variety under more field-like conditions. The two trials were stacked back to back with the soils changing from a sandy loam to a coarse sand.

Each strip was approx. 200 feet in length centered off the head lands. Four reps. of 4 metres were cut and bagged. These bagged plants were spread out to dry, combined and analysed. A yield was calculated based on these weights. Results Sandy Loam General Comments: * there was a lot of white mold pressure on all the varieties however there seemed to be a lot of plant damage to the Etnas at harvest. * the Mung Beans stand was non existent on the loam soils due planting too deep * the Etna could have been harvested earlier to reduce some split pods. Sand General Comments: * the Mung Beans were relatively flat compared to the other types. * there was a considerable amount of very late maturing Erimo plants that did not yield. 32

METHODS: The seed for the experiments was treated with Cruiser Max Beans, at label rates, for protection against early season seedling diseases and insects. The experiment was planted June 1, 2009 using a four row conemounted planter mounted on a John Deere Max Emerge planter. The seeding rate was 20 seeds per metre of row for the white bean varieties and 17 seeds for the large seeded kidney and cranberry beans. An experimental unit contained 4 rows 0.75 m apart, 6 m in length, arranged in an RCBD design with 4 replications. All of the assessments and yields were obtained from a harvest area 4 m long and 2 rows wide. The experiment was divided into two that being either hailed or left untreated. The simulated hail was performed at the crops 1 st flower, and was accomplished with and Echo weed trimmer with string attachment the Headline/Quadris treatment was then applied the next day. All the hailed treatments were defoliated about 50%. The spray treatments were applied once during the growing season, when a single flower was present on the majority of plants in that variety. The experiments were hailed on July 28 th & sprayed on July 29th (58 DAP) for the Red Hawk and Etna and August 4 th and 5 th (65 DAP) for the white bean varieties. The spray was applied using a CO 2 pressurized sprayer with a three Airbubble nozzles spaced at 50 cm, at 277 kpa (40 psi) in 200 L/ha water. The treatments were assessed for any disease and notes were made before harvest. The Etna experiments (non-hailed/hailed) were harvested on September 11 th and September 25 th. Red Hawks were harvested on September 15 th and the 25 th. The non-hailed T9905 were harvested on September 24 th with the remaining white bean experiments being harvested on October 8 th. Visual seed quality was determined using a scale of 1-5 (1 = excellent seed quality, 5 = poor seed quality). Seed weight was determined by recording the weight of 100 randomly selected seed from each plot. Pick percentage (discoloured and/or misshapen seed) were calculated for each plot. Yield and seed weights were adjusted to the standard storage moisture of 18%. RESULTS: See Tables 1-8. CONCLUSIONS: No significant differences were seen in yield with or without the use of Headline or Quadris in combination with defoliating of the canopy in these eight experiments (Table 1-8). 42

THOMAS) CROP: PEST: Edible beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), cv. as per treatment Marsh Spot NAME AND AGENCY: GILLARD C L, WILLIS, S. and DEPUYDT, D Ridgetown College, University of Guelph, Ridgetown, Ontario, N0P 2C0 Tel: (519) Fax: (519) cgillard@ridgetownc.uoguelph.ca MATERIALS: CRUISER MAXX BEANS 288 FS (thiamethoxam+ metalaxyl-m + fludioxonil, 22.61% + 1.7% %) METHODS: Cranberry beans are prone to a disorder known as marsh spot, which discolours the interior of the cotyledon and can create marketing issues. Seed samples were collected from the Ontario Dry Bean Performance Trials to determine if any of the cranberry varieties are susceptible to Marsh Spot. These varieties were compared to Messina, a highly susceptible variety of cranberry beans, which was also seeded at each location. Seed was treated with DCT and Cruiser 5FS at registered rates, for protection against early season seedling diseases and insects. Five locations were planted across southern Ontario; Thorndale, Kippen, Monkton, Elora and St. Thomas. The experiments were part of the Ontario dry bean variety registration and performance trials. The experiments were arranged as a RCBD design with 4 replications. Samples of seed harvested from these experiments were sent to the Huron Research Station, and scored for marsh spot incidence and severity. Fifty seeds were split and each half was rated for marsh spot incidence. The percentage incidence was then calculated for each variety. If Marsh Spot was present, its severity was visually rated on a scale of one to five, using the standards found in Figure 1. RESULTS: See Tables 1-5. CONCLUSIONS: Marsh spot scores for cranberry bean varieties at the five locations are presented in Tables 1-5. Marsh spot occurred at each location, with the St. Thomas location having the highest incidence x severity (I x S) scores with a four fold increase over the next highest. HR was the same (4 locations) and significantly worst than Messina at Thorndale. had an average incidence of 11.9%, which was significantly worst than any other variety in all the trials. The commercial varieties of Etna and Hooter had consistently low marsh spot incidence except at the St. Thomas location. 47

Seed samples were collected from the Preliminary Yield Trials to determine if any of the varieties are susceptible to marsh spot. The varieties were compared to Messina, a highly susceptible variety of cranberry beans, which was also seeded at each location. Seed was treated with CRUISER MAXX BEANS at registered rates, for protection against early season seedling diseases and insects. The two Preliminary Yield Trial locations were Thorndale and Kippen. The experiments were arranged as a RCBD design with 4 replications. Samples of seed harvested from these experiments were sent to the Huron Research Station, and scored for marsh spot incidence and severity. Fifty seeds were split and each half was rated for marsh spot incidence. The percentage incidence was then calculated for each variety. If marsh spot was present, its severity was visually rated on a scale of one to five, using the standards found in Figure 1. RESULTS: See Tables 1-2 CONCLUSIONS: Marsh spot scores for the two locations are presented in Tables 1-2. Messina and to a lesser extent BD 1004 are considered susceptible checks for marsh spot. Marsh spot incidence was not considered high at these locations in At the Thorndale site (Table 1), Crimson had the highest (I x S) score followed by SEM0928, Messina and the remaining varieties. At the Kippen location, Crimson had the highest I x S score, followed by ADMC and Messina (Table 2). The remaining varieties had very low scores. 52
