    In 2019 the Michigan Bean Commission was awarded two grants from the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.

    Project one titled: ‘Integration of Sustainable Management Practices Essential for the Advancement of Michigan Dry Bean Production’ was funded by specialty crop block grant program within the farm-bill. Objectives of this trial were to: (1) Development of bean cultivars and breeding lines with anthracnose resistance for disease control (site specific environmental/climate stressed conditions) within diverse production regions in Michigan. (2) Maximize yield through the optimization of harvest aid (desiccant) applications to reduce the prevalence of ‘green stem’ and to assure residue compliance at harvest. (3) Assessment of total nitrogen rates and time of application. Treatments will be designed to minimize total nitrogen applied during the pod development stage of growth (enhanced yield) thus reducing white mold infection. (4) Assessment of selected cover crops to improve soil conditions (sustainability and nutrient retention/bioavailability) and to enhance plant residue, as a means to establish a physical barrier that will reduce white mold disease spore transmission during bloom. (5) Assessment of suitable strategies for dry beans that undergo acute losses from white mold and root rot disease. Determine if a white mold prediction model will identify risk for white mold disease development and be a useful tool for Michigan dry bean growers. (6) Assessment of tile spacing and in-furrow and foliar fungicide applications on white mold and root rot control, under small and large plots. (7) Implementation of grower educational activates to communicate intervention strategies and economic options (current best management practices) used for the production of dry beans.

    Project two titled: ‘Comprehensive Fertilizer Rate Recommendations for Michigan Dry Bean Growers: Strengthening Economic and Environmental Sustainability’ was funded by the MDARD- fertilizer research program. The objectives of this project were to: (1) Assess nutrient requirements of new bean varieties for the major market classes grown in Michigan. (2) Provide grower guidelines for application of macro nutrients (N, P, K) based on physiological needs of the plant with particular needs for Phosphorous containment. (3) Provide optimum nitrogen requirements important to minimize plant canopy growth to assist with white mold proliferation, particularly in narrow row systems (4) Provide grower guidelines for application of micro nutrients (Zn and Mn). (5) Establish grower education of fertilizer application rates that include knowledge of soil fertility and crop rotations and carry over management. (6) Publish fertility manage requirements and management strategies for distribution to bean growers in Michigan.

    Season Summary: The 2019 planting season was less than ideal for most crops in Michigan, dry beans included. Excessive levels of soil moisture from late May into July caused significant delays in dry bean planting across the state. However, the frequency of rainfall did eventually slow down through mid-summer. Some areas in the state became droughty during flowering, including Bay and Gratiot County dry bean variety trial locations. One benefit we did experience from being on the drier side through flowering was that white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) pressure was not high across the state in 2019. To the benefit of this research however, the Sanilac County variety trial location did have significant white mold pressure, allowing for the rating of white mold infection in the absence of fungicides. As dry bean harvest began the weather had a negative impact on field work once again. Harvest was done in small windows, followed by 7 to 10 day stretches of cold, wet weather. Overall, dry bean quality held up better than expected given the conditions. Of the 8 research locations included in this report the first was harvested on September 18th in Bay County. This trial had experienced water deficits and is one of our lowest yielding locations in 2019. The final location to be harvested was an irrigated white mold fungicide trial in Midland County on October 19th.

    We would like to thank all cooperators that hosted trials in 2019. Without their assistance this research would not be possible.

Summary: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of multiple fungicides and application timings on white mold infection and dry bean yield. Table 1 is sorted in descending order by yield, with treatments of Propulse, Endura, and Omega in combination grouping towards the top. This result is not unexpected as these products have performed very well on white mold in other trials and past years. When analyzing the effects of application timing this study indicates that later applications (B) may have greater efficacy on white mold than early applications (A). The area of application timing will be the subject of future research trials in 2020.

    *Means within the same column with different letters are not significantly different from each other ( 0.05). **Yield is in pounds per acres obtained by direct harvest and adjusted to 18% moisture. Summary: Two fungicide trials were established in Midland County in 2019. These studies were conducted to investigate the effects of multiple fungicides and application timings on white mold infection and dry bean yield. Both trials were irrigated at a rate of 0.5” per week through flowering to encourage white mold infection. In both trials the applications of Endura, Omega, and Propulse at R1 (A) and then again (B) 12 d later provided the highest dry bean yields. In the second study (Table 2) Contans, a biological, was applied to the soil and incorporated the day of dry bean planting. Label recommendations for Contans do encourage the repeated use of this product in a rotation as its effectiveness may increase with continued use reducing soil inoculum. However, that was not the focus of this trial. Neither white mold infection, nor yield were effected by Contans in 2019 when compared to the untreated.

  • 2019 Navy Bean Response to Nitrogen Strip Trial Scott Bales, MSU Dry Bean Specialist

    17

    Table 1. Fertilizer treatments, application timing, white mold percent infection, and dry bean yield.

    **Yield is in pounds per acres obtained by direct harvest and adjusted to 18% moisture.

    Summary: This trial was established in 2019 to investigate navy beans response to multiple rates of nitrogen. Due to limiting factors only one replication of this study was able to be planted and harvested. However, due to very uniform soil and field conditions we believe the data still provides valuable insight into dry beans response to nitrogen. In this trial dry beans did not show a large response to nitrogen. Future nitrogen trials will more extensively review previous crop management as well as base line nitrate and ammonium concentrations in the soil. These insights may provide valuable information for dry bean management decisions. When analyzing dry beans response to nitrogen we are also interested in the potential interaction with white mold. Past research has indicated that white mold disease can be more severe with increased rates of nitrogen. In 2019 environmental conditions were not favorable in this location for white mold infection. Thus not allowing the evaluation of white mold disease under these different rates of nitrogen fertilizer. The interaction between nitrogen fertility and white mold will be the focus of future research projects.

    Scott Bales, MSU Dry Bean Specialist

    18 Cont’d PG. 19

    In 2019 three separate dry bean trials were planted at the Answer Plot location near Gagetown, MI. Trials included a Nitrogen Rate Response, Sulfur Rate Response, and Plant Population Trials. Trials were established as a cooperative effort between MSU Dry Bean Specialist Scott Bales and Winfield United Agronomist Jason Roth. The tables below are a summary of the trial results.

    Figure 1. Dry bean yield plotted against plant populations per acre.

    *Yield is in pounds per acres obtained by direct harvest of one row plots (25 ft2) and adjusted to 18% moisture.

    Summary: Overall dry beans in this location yielded very well, more timely rains through flowering in this location kept from limiting yield potential when compared to other locations in 2019. A lack of yield response to fertilizer in both nitrogen and sulfur trials is attributed to sufficient levels of both nitrogen and sulfur in the soil prior to the establishment of these studies. An equipment error did occur at planting which caused higher populations planted by row unit number two than row unit three within the studies. However, we believe that this confounding effect did not skew dry beans response to nitrogen or sulfur in this location. Soil test taken from untreated nitrogen plots (no nitrogen applied in 2019) indicate that 20 ppm of nitrate were in the soil. This is an estimated nitrogen credit of approximately 75 lb./A, more than sufficient for optimum dry bean yield. The dry bean plant population trial in this location consisted of 41 individual one row plots. Yield was plotted against the plant population of each individual row. In this trial populations from 73,000 to 230,000 plants per acre did not create a significant trend for dry bean yield. This finding is supported by past research trials by Varner and Sprague which can be found in the 2012 research report available at Michiganbean.org. Due to the combinations of elevated base line soil fertility levels, 2019 weather patterns, and equipment errors these trials will be replicated in 2020.

Fertilizer treatments were blended, spread and incorporated on June 7th. Both navy and black beans planted into fertilizer treatments on June 7th. As dry beans emerged treatments with >150 lb. of phosphorus cause slight injury, consisting of marginal leaf burning on the unifoliate leaf of both bean classes. Overall, dry beans response to phosphorus was minimal or nonexistent. These results are supported by the pre-plant soil test which was is considered to be at levels within the “draw down” range of the response curve, 172 ppm (Figure 1).

Dry beans were under irrigation, and irrigated 0.5” per week through flowering. The trial was sprayed for white mold one time (Omega 8 fl oz) to help manage white mold infection. Foliar manganese products were applied at R1 and not tank-mixed with any other products. Overall yield results were not statically significant. However, visual responses did occur for most applications. Through this study it is unclear if the foliar application of manganese at an R1 growth stage is beneficial to yield. Projects in 2020 will reexamine this management practice, as well as study multiple application timings and or tank-mixtures.

    2019 MSU DRY BEAN YIELD TRIALS

    J.D. Kelly, E.M. Wright and A. Wiersma

    Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences

    Expt. 9101: Standard Navy Bean Yield Trial

    This 25-entry trial included standard commercial navy bean varieties, and advanced lines from the MSU breeding program, which carry the N-prefix and new lines from Ontario. Yields ranged from 16.5 to 25.0 cwt/acre with a mean of 20.7 cwt/acre. Variability in this trial was moderate (CV= 10.1%) and the LSD needed for significance was 2.5 cwt/acre. However, only two lines significantly out-yielded the test mean and the overall yields were lower compared to those of black beans. Alpena was the top variety in the trial followed by Medalist, which has underperformed in past years at this location. Vigilant and Merlin grouped below the test mean. Two new entries from Ontario were opposites in yield, ACUG-16-6 was second in the trial, while AC Portage yielded at bottom with 16.5 cwt/acre. The yield potential in navy beans needs to be improved, as they are no longer competitive with black beans. Canning tests will be conducted on all new MSU breeding lines before being considered for advance.

    Expt. 9102: Standard Black Bean Yield Trial-N

    This 42-entry trial included the standard commercial black bean varieties and advanced breeding lines. The trial was planted without any additional N. Yields ranged from 10.7 to 25.3 cwt/acre with a test mean of 19.3 cwt/acre. Variability was moderate in this test, (CV=11.2%) and the LSD was 3.0 cwt/acre. Only three entries significantly outyielded the test mean and they included B16504 for the fourth consecutive year. Black Bear was the top variety at 20.8 cwt/acre, while Zenith, Zorro, and Eclipse yielded at the test mean. Black Tails was the lowest yielding variety at 16.2 cwt/acre. As expected, R99 no-nod line that does not fix N was the lowest yielding entry in the test. Despite the dry conditions during pod fill, a number of lines performed well in the absence of N suggesting they have improved N-fixation capacity. This trait will be evaluated in lab tests using N15 natural abundance method.

    Expt. 9103: Standard Black Bean Yield Trial +N

    This 42-entry trial included the same standard commercial black bean varieties and advanced breeding lines as test 9102. The trial was planted with normal N treatment of 46 lbs/acre (100 lbs urea broadcast). Yields ranged from 16.6 to 24.5 cwt/acre with a test mean of 21.7 cwt/acre. Variability was lower in this test, (CV=8.2%) and the LSD was 2.5 cwt/acre. Only two entries significantly outyielded the test mean and B18504 ranked third at 24.1 cwt/acre. Black Bear was the top variety at 23.0 cwt/acre, while Zenith ranked above the test mean. Zorro, Black Tails and Eclipse yielded below the test mean. R99 no-nod line that does not fix N was the lowest yielding

  • 24

    entry in the test, but yielded 7 cwt better than in test 9102 suggesting that N-fixation was important contributor to yield in the low N test 9102. The N-fixation capacity of all lines in this test will be evaluated in lab tests using N15 natural abundance method and directly compared to their N-fixation in the absence of N fertilizer. Canning tests will be conducted on new breeding lines to ensure only those with canning quality similar to Zenith are advanced.

    Comparison of Black Bean Trials 9202 and 9103

    A comparison of the two 42-entry black bean trials was designed to compare the performance of beans produced with no N fertilizer to those with standard N fertilizer applied (broadcast Urea at planting). The objective of this field trial was to identify black bean lines that perform well under low N conditions due to superior Nitrogen-fixation ability. In general, the yields of the fertilized treatment were slightly higher (21.7 cwt/acre) compared to those without fertilizer (19.3 cwt/acre). However, two black bean lines with exceptionally high seed yield, B17207 and B16504, had equivalent and higher yield potential under low N conditions (Figure 1). This suggests that through selection and breeding, we might be able to reduce the need for N fertilizer in Michigan dry bean production, which would have lasting and beneficial impacts on agro-environmental sustainability. Given environmental concerns, there exists a need to identify lines that naturally fix higher levels of N that contributes to yield as N application rates of over 50 lbs/acre produce higher plant biomass, which results in greater white mold infections and resulting lower yields. Higher plant biomass does not always translate into higher seed yields, but usually results in the need for chemical desiccation prior to harvest.

    Expt. 9215: National White Mold Yield Trial

    This 32-entry trial was conducted to evaluate a range of diverse dry bean varieties and breeding lines for reaction to white mold under natural field conditions. Genotypes included commercial navy and black bean cultivars, elite MSU lines, and new sources of white mold resistance entered as part of the National Sclerotinia Initiative (NSI) Nursery. Lines in the National trial were developed at MSU, USDA-WA, and NDSU. Entries were planted in two row plots with two rows of susceptible spreader variety Samurai between plots and were direct harvested. Plots were fertilized with 100 lbs N/ acre to promote vegetative growth and supplemental overhead irrigation was applied 19 times for a total of 11.8” to maintain adequate levels of moisture for favorable disease development at the critical flowering period. The trial was planted on original bean land previously infected with white mold. Natural white mold infection occurred, and was very severe on both spreader rows and check varieties. White mold was rated on a per plot basis on a scale of 1 to 9 based on disease incidence and severity where 9 had 90+% incidence and high severity index. White mold ranged from 22.2 to 96.3% with a mean value of 51%. The susceptible check Beryl had the highest white mold rating. The test ranged in yield from 11.1 to 44.7 cwt/acre with a mean yield of 30.0 cwt/acre. Variability was moderate (CV=15.9%), thus a high LSD value (6.5 cwt/acre) was needed for significance. Seven lines significantly out-yielded the test mean and included Cayenne, and its parental line SR9-5 from USDA-WA. It is interesting that at this location with high-input management all the medium seeded pinto, GN and small red lines significantly outperform the small seeded black and navy bean lines. Two new R17-red lines and two new P16-pinto lines fell in the top group similar to results in 2018. G16351 and P16901 ranked 8th and 10th exceeded 36 cwt/acre despite high white mold infection levels, supporting the importance of stand ability and lodging resistance in white mold avoidance. The higher N rates coupled with excessive irrigation contributes to lodging and the higher white mold scores. Similar observations were made with the two black lines. Stand ability was a key trait in avoiding white mold in this trial and new line B18504 tended to lean due to heavy pod load and contracted higher white mold levels as a result. The trade off in erectness versus yield (pod load) is a major factor in avoidance of white mold. Interestingly the two checks, G122 resistant check yielded the same as the susceptible check Beryl (12.4 cwt/acre) yet differed in white mold infection from 22% to 96%. This trial will continue to be part of the breeding effort to improve tolerance to white mold in future varieties in 2020.
