Dry Edible Bean Variety Trials
L. Besemann and H. Eslinger
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Soil:	Pinto bean – Embden loam; soil N 40 lbs/acre.
	Navy and misc bean - Maddock sandy loam; soil N 48 lbs/acre.
	Pinto bean: 2012 – field corn.
Previous crop:	Navy and misc bean: 2012 – potato and onion.
Seedbed preparation:	Spring conventional tillage.
Planting:	May 31.
Plots:	Plots were 17 ft long by 7.5 ft (3 rows) wide.  The study had four replications.
Fertilizer:	Broadcast 34 lbs N/acre, 81 lbs P2O5/acre, 103 lbs K2O/acre and 19 lbs S/acre as 8‑20-26-5 May 1.
Irrigation:	Overhead sprinkler irrigation as needed.
Pest control:	Trust (1 pt/acre) May 31, Basagran (1.5 pt/acre) + COC (1.25% v/v) June 26 and Raptor (4 oz/acre) + NIS (0.25% v/v) + AMS (1.5 lb/10 gal) July 5 for weed control.  Proline (5 oz/acre) July 18, July 24 and August 1, T‑Methyl (35 oz/acre) August 19 for disease control.
Harvest:	Hand harvested all bean varieties September 9.  Harvest area for all bean varieties was seventeen feet of the middle row.  Beans were threshed with a stationary plot thresher September 13.
