Performance of Snap Bean Cultivars in Root Rot and Clean soils

Abstract

A total of 16 snap bean varieties were grown in sections of the root rot field at the Geneva Station with and without fumigation with Vorlex at 30 gallons/A (fall, 1997). Seeds of all the varieties were treated with Apron, Captan and Lorsban. Varieties were planted in two, 20 ft. long rows and replicated 5 times in both the natural and fumigated soils. All cultural practices employed were according to commercial production recommendations. The trials were planted on June 11 and harvested on August 10-12.
