| K. Cooper, 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 edible bean varieties were tested: ten miscellaneous, four navy, and eight 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: | 2015 - wheat. | |||||||||||||
| Seedbed preparation: | Spring conventional tillage. | |||||||||||||
| Planting: | May 24 in 30-inch rows. | |||||||||||||
| Plots: | Plots were 25 ft long by 5 ft (2 rows) wide. The study had four replications. | |||||||||||||
| Fertilizer: | Broadcast 19 lbs N/acre, 50 lbs P2O5/acre, 45 lbs K2O/acre and 10 lbs S/acre as 9-24-21-5 April 20. | |||||||||||||
| Irrigation: | Overhead sprinkler irrigation as needed. | |||||||||||||
| Pest control: | Spartan Elite 22 oz/acre (May 24), Select Max 12 oz/acre + NIS 1 pt/100 gal + interlock 4 oz/acre (June 13) for weed control. Endura 5.5 oz/acre (July 15) for disease control. | |||||||||||||
| Harvest: | Hand harvested bean varieties August 29 to September 6 as they matured. Harvest area for all bean varieties was five feet (two rows wide) by approximately 21 feet. Beans were threshed with a stationary plot thresher September 1 to September 6. | |||||||||||||
| RESULTS | ||||||||||||||
| The three classes of dry edible beans all had fair yields for the 2016 season. The mean yield of the miscellaneous beans was 2899 lbs/acre. Merlot (small red) had the highest yield of the miscellaneous beans yielding 3472 lbs/acre. The mean yield of the navy beans was 2848 lbs/acre. T9905 had the highest yield of the navy bean yielding 3134 lbs/acre. The mean yield of the pinto beans was 3240 lbs/acre. Windbreaker had the highest pinto bean yield at 3830 lbs/acre. | ||||||||||||||
