Cancellation of the registration of an effective bean mold fungicide, Ronilan, is slated to occur at the end of growing season in 2005. Finding equivalent alternatives by 2006 for use in snap bean is critical. The goal of the project is to continue evaluations of alternative fungicides for their effectiveness...

Part 1: Bean mold project: What is an effective alternative to Ronilan for control of gray and white mold in snap beans when mold pressure is severe? When can we use a less expensive single fungicide application without putting the bean crop at significant risk?
Part 2: 12 Spot Beetle...
Objectives:
1. Breed Bush Blue Lake green bean varieties with high economic yield and improved plant architecture.
2. Improve pod characteristics including straightness, color, smoothness, texture, flavor and quality retention, and combine with delayed seed size development.
3. Incorporate white mold resistance and improve root rot tolerance.
4. Develop a...

Objectives for 2009:
1. Evaluate ascospore detection of S. sclerotiorum using multiple Rotorod spore traps.
2. Monitor environmental conditions within bean fields to begin model development of ascospore detection events.
Objective for 2008 and Accomplishments: The purpose of this proposed research is to determine whether ascospores of S. sclerotiorum can be detected in experimental bean plantings by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Objectives: to determine the impact of
1.fall Contans applications on Coniothyrium minitans (Cm) infection and survival of sclerotia left on the soil surface through the winter and summer
2.the impact of summer irrigation and burial on sclerotial survival and infection with Cm and other fungi
