Dry Edible Bean Variety Trials

L. Besemann and H. Eslinger

Dry edible beans play a significant role in irrigated rotations in southeastern North Dakota. As universities and private companies develop new varieties it is important to test them upon their release. Twenty-three varieties were tested: nine miscellaneous, five navy and nine pinto.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Soil:

Embden loam; pH = 7.1; 2.3% organic matter; soil N 9 lbs/acre; soil P, soil K was very high and soil S was high.

Previous crop:

2014 - sunflower and sugarbeet.

Seedbed preparation:

Spring conventional tillage.

Planting:

May 27 in 30-inch rows.

Plots:

Plots were 17 ft long by 5 ft (2 rows) wide. The study had four replications.

Fertilizer:

Broadcast 8 lbs N/acre, 42 lbs P2O5/acre, 48 lbs K2O/acre and 10 lbs S/acre as 9 21 24-6 April 14.

Irrigation:

Overhead sprinkler irrigation as needed.

Pest control:

Trust (1 pt/acre) May 26, Basagran (1.5 pt/acre) + COC (1.0% v/v) June 17, Raptor (4 oz/acre) + NIS (0.25% v/v) June 29 and Section 2EC (12 oz/acre) + COC (1.0% v/v) June 25 for weed control. Endura (8 oz/acre) July 8, Proline (5 oz/acre) July 23 for disease control.

Harvest:

Hand harvested bean varieties September 2 to September 9 as they matured. Harvest area for all bean varieties was five feet (two rows wide) by 17 feet. Beans were threshed with a stationary plot thresher September 2 to September 9.

RESULTS

The three classes of dry edible beans all had good yields for the 2015 season. The mean yield of the miscellaneous beans was 3605 lbs/acre. Pink Panther (kidney bean) had the highest yield of the miscellaneous beans yielding 3903 lbs/acre. The mean yield of the navy beans was 3423 lbs/acre. HMS Medalist had the highest yield of the navy bean yielding 3615 lbs/acre. The mean yield of the pinto beans was 3649 lbs/acre. ND-307 had the highest pinto bean yield at 4147 lbs/acre.
