Reading Time: < 1 minute Anthracnose can cause severe yield and seed quality issues in dry beans. Anthracnose is managed in part with genetic resistance, clean seed and chemical seed treatments. Locally grown seed increases the risk of a disease outbreak and growers are encouraged to use fungicides to manage this risk. The purpose of the study was to measure […] Read more

#CropPatrol: Measuring the long-term performance and economic returns of fungicides
Reading Time: 2 minutes Ontario growers routinely use fungicides to manage white mould in dry beans, but they should be applied before any disease is visible. The purpose of this study was to measure the long-term performance and economic returns of fungicides, to help growers select a top product. Four small-plot experiments were conducted in 2012-13 at the Huron […] Read more
