NEW YORK STATE 2017 PROCESSING SNAP BEAN CULTIVAR TRIAL REPORT Large Bean 3-4 Bean Whole Bean James Ballerstein - Research Support Specialist, Horticulture Section New York State Agricultural Experiment Station - Cornell University, Geneva, New York Stephen Reiners Professor and Chair, Horticulture Section New York State Agricultural Experiment Station - Cornell University, Geneva, New York PROCEDURE AND MATERIALS Location: NYS Agricultural Research Farm field 8, Geneva - soil type - Honeoye silt loam Planting Dates: Large 5/17, 3-4 sieve beans 6/2, Whole type 6/12 Row Width: 30 inches, Row length: 30 ft. In-row Spacing: 1 5/8 inches (6-8 plants/ft.) Conventional Tillage Fertilizer: 350#/A of 15-5-10 with Zn and Mn Herbicide: Dual post plant, Basagran, Reflex and Raptor post emergence Planter - Two Row Monosem Vacuum Planter Plot Size: 1 row - 4 replications (Replicated entries), 1 row two replications (Observation entries). The objective of this trial was to compare a number of green and wax snap bean varieties for yield and other quality characteristics. This was accomplished in cooperation with the snap bean processors in New York and Ontario Canada in an attempt to find new, higher quality, and disease resistant varieties that are adapted to our climate and soil conditions. We did not have a field day this past season due to the weather difficulties. For both replicated and observation entries, yield of five feet per replication was obtained by pulling the plants and hand picking them. Multiple harvests were made to plot yield increase and also seed size increase. An FMC snipper and grader were used to snip and grade the harvested pods. Each replicated entry was processed (canned and frozen) for later evaluation by the processors and seedsmen. Comments from this cutting are not included in the report. Soil moisture was adequate too excessive for growing season 2017. The large sieve and 3-4 sieve plantings had decent emergence and good overall plots. The whole bean trial had very uniform emergence but excessive rainfall hurt the third and fourth replications severely. See the weather insert at the end of the summary for a breakdown of temperatures and precipitation over the growing season. A cutting was held for industry on November 9 th.
