2015 Heat Unit and Precipitation Summary for Exeter and Ridgetown.

2015 Weather Heat unit accumulation was above average in 2015, particularly in May and September. A killing frost occurred on October 17 at both sites. Above average heat in September and dry conditions resulted in rapid maturity and early harvest of a number of studies at both sites. The Huron Research Station had above average precipitation for the growing season, but monthly distribution fluctuated greatly. June and October were particularly wet months. Planting progress in June was sporadic, and a number of studies were planted after June 22. July and September had below average precipitation, and drought stress was noticeable in August and September. The Ridgetown Campus site had below average precipitation for 2015 but there were large fluctuations. May had above average precipitation, mostly due to 55 mm falling on May 31. June and October were also above average. July, August and September had below average precipitation, and drought stress was noticeable by mid-August.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Variety Registration and Performance Trials (ongoing) Four studies were seeded in 2015. The Kippen location was moved to a farm south of Exeter in 2015. Seeding was on schedule at Auburn (June 4) but was late at Exeter (June 22) due to excessive rainfall. The Exeter site had some minor damage from compaction prior to planting, which was managed at harvest with some plot harvest area adjustment. The Auburn site had some damage from excess rainfall in June, and the first replication was removed from the analysis of data. Canopy growth was good at both sites. A dry August limited white mold infection. Summary of Registration/Performance Trials, Huron Research Station, 2015 Location

Pink – Rosetta performed above average Otebo - Fuji was performed poorly at all locations Kidney – Majesty (DRK) and Inferno (LRK) had the highest yield at both sites Cranberry – ACUG 13-C1 had the highet yield at both sites. Evaluation of Marsh Spot in Dry Beans (Ongoing, Year 10) Background - Marsh spot is a physiological disorder found primarily in cranberry beans (occasionally in kidney beans). Cells in the centre of the coltyledons die and turn a gray/black colour (see Fig. 1). The damage is evident once the seed is split along the cotyledonary axis, and opened up to view the interior of the cotyledons. Marsh spot can create serious marketing issues for bean dealers. Marsh spot incidence was average in 2014. Registration/Performance Trials - Cranberry cultivars from trials at Exeter, Elora and St. Thomas locations were evaluated for marsh spot and compared to Etna (resistant check) and Messina (susceptible check). All of the lines tested were similar to the resistant check Etna except ACUG 15-C1 and Vero at the Elora site. Preliminary Yield Trials – Cranberry cultivars from trials at Exeter and Woodstock were evaluated. All the lines tested were similar to the resistant check Etna. Figure 1: Marsh Spot Severity Ratings

Anthracnose (ongoing) A spore suspension was used to inoculate disease free plants at the end of July. Disease pressure following inoculation was below average for the early planted study, and well below average for the late planted study. Some consistent treatment differences were recorded in the early planted study. Strobilurin fungicides were applied twice to maintain the treatment differences and prevent excessive disease development. Fluopyram and Vertisan had relatively high disease severity, while Quash had moderate disease severity, compared to other treatments. There were few treatment differences for yield, with only Allegro+Quadris, Acapela and BAS70320F having higher yield than the untreated check.

7

White Mold (ongoing) Two trials were planted in 2015, with moderate disease severity in the early planted study and moderately high disease severity in the late planted study. Allegro continues to be considered the industry standard for white mold fungicides. Senator, fludioxonil and the high rate of Propulse gave similar white mold control and yield. EAC 1407, a new liquid formulation of Senator, gave had similar yield and disease control as Senator. Priaxor + Lance and Acapela gave some white mold control but were weaker than the best fungicide treatments for yield. Poor performing products included Quash and Astound Granular. Root Rot Seed Treatment (ongoing) Fusarium - disease pressure was moderate, with treatment differences evident for emergence and plant vigour for the first 10-20 days . However, no differences in yield or 100 seed weight were observed. Rhizoctonia – disease pressure was moderate to severe. Treatment differences for emergence and vigour were observed for 20-34 days after plant emergence. Root rot inoculum reduced plant emergence by 20-30% in the inoculated check, compared to the uninoculated check. Most treatments were superior to the inoculated check (trt. 2) for emergence, vigour and yield, and some were superior to Cruiser Maxx Bean (trt. 3), the industry standard. The addition of Sedaxane to Rancona Summit gave dramatic increases in plant emergence, but the response of Sedaxane + Cruiser Maxx Bean was little better than Cruiser Maxx Bean alone. Evergol Energy had some of the highest plant emergence and vigour scores of any treatment. Planting Date Study (Year 2 of 2) Large Seed - Dark red kidney beans (cv. Red Hawk) were seeded on four dates (approx. 5/20, 5/30, 6/10 and 6/20) in two row widths (38 and 76 cm) and four populations (100%, 80%, 60%, and 40%) at two sites (Exeter and Ridgetown). The highest yields were measured with the June 1 planting date at Ridgetown, and at later planting dates at Exeter (due to heavy rainfall from June 6-18). Wide rows had approximately 10% lower yield at the Exeter site only. Yield was similar down to plant populations of 60%, but dropped by 15% at lower plant population in the narrow row plots at the Exeter site. Small Seed – Two cultivars (T9905 navy, Zorro black) were seeded on four dates (approx. 5/20, 5/30, 6/10 and 6/20) at four populations (100%, 80%, 60%, and 40%) at two sites (Exeter and Ridgetown). The highest yields were measured at the later planting dates in Exeter, likely due to heavy rainfall from June 6-18. No yield differences were measured at Ridgetown. Yield was similar down to plant populations of 60%. At a 40% plant population, yield losses of 14-19% were measured at Exeter only. Plant Population and Row Width Study (Year 2 of 2) Large Seed – Four cultivars (Hime otebo, Inferno LRK, Red Hawk DRK and Etna cran) were seeded in two row widths (38 and 76 cm) and four populations (100%, 80%, 60%, and 40%) at two sites (Exeter and Ridgetown). Small differences were observed between plant populations for plant height, plant dry weight and canopy cover. Row width did not impact yield at Ridgetown, but wide rows had higher yield at Exeter, which is contrary to conventional wisdom. At a 60% plant stand, a yield loss of 10% was measured at the Exeter location only. At a 40% plant stand, a yield loss of 19-30% was measured at Exeter and Ridgetown, respectively. Small Seed – Four cultivars (T9905 navy, Nautica navy, Rexeter navy and Zorro black) were seeded at four populations (100%, 80%, 60%, and 40%) at two sites (Exeter and Ridgetown).

Small differences were observed between plant populations for plant height, plant dry weight and canopy cover. A 40% plant stand resulted in a yield loss of 13-16%, at the Ridgetown and Exeter and locations, respectively.

NotMarsh spot is a physiological disorder in large seeded (Andean type) beans, primarily cranberry beans. Symptoms include a discolouring of tissue (brown/black) in the centre of the seed and can be observed when the seed is split along the cotelydonary axis. Seed of all cranberry cultivars and breeding lines were assessed for marsh spot, and compared to the cultivar Messina (susceptible check)

Conclusions:In 2014, moderate levels of marsh spot were detected at Elora, and high levels were detected at KippenIn 2014, Messina had the highest levels of marsh spot (incidence x severity). In 2015, moderate levels of marsh spot were detected at Exeter, Elora and St. ThomasIn 2015, Messina had the highest levels of marsh spot (incidence x severity), but significant levels of marsh spot were detected in the cultivars ACUG 15-C1 and Vero at Elora

Conclusions:

Wt (g)DAPQuality Yield

* differences between the two control trts for emergence were dramatic for the first 15 days after planting, which suggests that the inocculum gave a significant level of disease pressure* differences between the two control trts for vigour were evident for the first 13 days after planting

* the addition of Dynasty (trt 4) to Cruiser Maxx Bean (trt 3) resulted in a reduction in emergence and vigour * the addition of Sedaxane (trt 5 and 6) to Cruiser Maxx Bean (trt 3) did not provide an increase in emergence or vigour

* no treatment differences in dead plants, seed weight, seed quality or seed yield were measured

* Rancona Summit + Sedaxane (trt 9) and Evergol Energy (trt 10) had the highest emergence and were equal or better than the uninoculated control for the first 34 days after planting.

* the addition of Sedaxane (trt 8 and 9) to Rancona Summit (trt 7) resulted in an increase in emergence and vigour particularly at higher rates (trt 9)

Conclusions:

* there was no increase in root rot control from a high rate of Sedaxane (trts 6 and 9) versus a low rate of Sedaxane (trts 5 and 8)

* differences between the two control trts for emergence were dramatic for 34 days after planting, which suggests that the inocculum gave a high level of disease pressure

* differences between the two control trts for vigour were evident for the first 24 days after planting

* the addition of Dynasty (trt 4) to Cruiser Maxx Bean (trt 3) did not improve emergence and vigour * the addition of Sedaxane (trt 5 and 6) to Cruiser Maxx Bean (trt 3) gave an inconsistent increase in emergence or vigour* the addition of a Sedaxane (trts 8 and 9) to Rancona Summit (trt 7) resulted in an dramatic increase in emergence

* no treatment differences in seed weight or seed quality were measured

White mold [Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, causal organism] is an economically damaging diseaseof dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Producers often require fungicides to control moderate to high diseaselevels. Evaluation of fungicide efficacy and cost is critical to make cognisant management decisions. Fourfield studies were conducted at the Huron Research Station, near Exeter, Ontario in 2012 and 2013.Commercially available synthetic fungicides and a biofungicide seed treatment were evaluated for effi-cacy in suppressing white mold of dry bean and a subsequent economic analysis was conducted. Areaunder the disease progress curve (AUDPC) was calculated using disease intensity (incidence� severity)ratings. The untreated control and biofungicide seed treatment had the highest AUDPC values, and inaddition to the two applications of the low rate of fluxapyroxad þ pyraclostrobin and two applications ofpenthiopyrad, had the lowest yields. The most efficacious products with regard to disease suppressionand yield response were two applications of boscalid, all rates of fluazinam and thiophanate-methyl, andtwo applications of the high rate of fluopyram þ prothioconazole. Two applications of the high rate offluazinam had the lowest AUDPC, which was nearly 60% lower than the untreated control. Two appli-cations of the high rate of thiophanate-methyl was the highest yielding treatment, recovering 70% ofyield lost from untreated plots. Economic impacts varied with planting dates. For the first planting, profitmargins for all fungicide treatments, with the exception of two applications of penthiopyrad, two ap-plications of the low rate of fluxapyroxad þ pyraclostrobin, and the biofungicide seed treatment, weresignificantly greater than the untreated control. For the second planting, only profit margins for allfluazinam treatments were significantly greater than the untreated control. This study identifies neweconomically viable fungicide options for dry bean producers to control white mold.

1. Introduction

White mold [Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, causal or-ganism] is a serious and economically damaging disease of drybean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Development of white mold occurswhen sclerotia, the overwintering bodies of S. sclerotiorum, produceapothecia that release ascospores that infect senescent blossomsbefore spreading to green plant tissue (Abawi and Grogan, 1979;McDonald and Boland, 2004). Timing of infection, thick crop can-opies and high levels of moisture have been identified as important

indicators of disease incidence and severity (Tu, 1989; McDonaldand Boland, 2004). Infection can lead to necrosis, girdling andpossibly plant death, resulting in significant yield and quality re-ductions (Kerr et al., 1978; Boland and Hall, 1987; McDonald andBoland, 2004).

Dry bean yield reductions caused by white mold infection andsymptom development have been previously studied. Estimatedyield losses as great as 23 kg ha�1 for each percentage increase inwhite mold incidence (del Rio et al., 2004; Ramasubramaniamet al., 2008) have been reported in both irrigated and nonirri-gated fields. During a year with high white mold pressure, totalyield loss estimates for commercial dry bean operations in NorthDakota averaged 524 kg ha�1 (Ramasubramaniam et al., 2008). Kerret al. (1978) observed that severe white mold epidemics resulted in
