Cultural practices in snap bean production were evaluated at the Oregon State University Vegetable Research Farm Corvallis, Oregon. In addition, decision-making in snap bean production was assessed on five farms in the Coburg-Junction City-Harrisburg regions of the Willamette Valley, Oregon. A field experiment with cover crop and tillage techniques was...
Many buyers of processed vegetables are responding to consumer concerns by demanding that producers have an effective environmental stewardship program and reduce pesticide use. Snap bean producers have an opportunity to meet
these demands. The snap bean and 12 spot beetle interaction is relatively simple. Methods for determining risk of...

The in planta growth of three wild type strains of phytopathogenic bacteria and three nonpathogenic mutant strains was studied to determine if mutations eliminating the ability of the mutant strains to cause disease had affected their growth in leaf tissue. The mutant strains were obtained by Tn5 mutagenesis of Pseudomonas...

Discusses ways to apply integrated pest management principles to management of 12-spot beetles (Western spotted cucumber beetle) in snap beans. Covers pest description, crop damage, biology and life history, scouting and thresholds, and sweep net sampling. Presents information in English and Spanish.
White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) De Bary, is a destructive yield-limiting disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Genetic resistance to this pathogen is limited in common bean. Identification of high levels of partial physiological resistance in a genetically cross compatible species, Phaseolus coccineus, is advisable. The objectives...
Isolates of Trichoderma spp. collected from snap bean foliage were tested for inhibition of grey mold of snap beans caused by Botrytis cinerea. In a detached blossom-pod assay an isolate of Trichoderma hamatum reduced pod rot by 94% compared to the nontreated check. Control was comparable to that obtained with...
Root rot diseases of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are a problem wherever they are grown, and are a major constraint to dry edible and snap bean production. Root rot is a primary yield limitation of snap bean production in the US, especially within the top three snap bean producing states...
