It is true that./ anthracnose is, the worst of the two diseases. However, with proper seed, treatment of all seed and field sanitation, we can limit the spread of this disease. There is no seed treatment for bacterial blight or completely disease-free seed. Let's not forget [by Pat .Lynch] Soils and Crop Branch Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food The 1977 white bean crop is now h istory c.y w would like t .foget, This is not possible., since some of the beans subjected to. disease and poor' weather in 1977 will be used for seed in 1978, The realities are that, as of January 1978. according to best estimates, there will not be enough pedigreed. field-inspected seed beans for the spring seeding. There will probably be only enough seed inspected for diseases to seed 100.000 acres of the anticipated 160,000 acres. • There are more than enough beans to. platit this 160,000 acres. However, unless the beans have the pedigreed tag they may have anthracnose and/or bacterial blight. Anyone considering planting nonpedigreed seed should think twice.. Some nonpedigreed seed will look good, even though it is carrying anthracnose and/or bacterial. blight. If you plant nonpedigreed seed, there is a high probability that you will suffer a yield reduction of 300 to 400 pounds per acre from the combined effect of anthracnose bacterial blight, lid loss of genetic yield due to the advanced generation of the seed. What should you do? The first thing is to try to buy pedigreed seed. Contact you • dealer and book ahead. If you are unable to- obtain enough pedigreed seed to plant all your acreage, lower the seeding rate to 35 lb/acre. This .will stretch the good seed further. This rate could be adjusted down more for small seeds, up for larger seeds. • ' If you have to use unpedigreed Seed. (heck the- germination, and. have it treated for anthraen0Se. Beware of a ''real good. deal,,' Unless the. seed. was field inspected, there is no way to. assure it is disease free. It appears there will be a seed treatment available to destroy any' anthracnose on the seed snrface. This treatment, will not control anthracnose inside the seed nor it control bacterial blight, As well as seed, the choice of field makes a different. Beans should not follow beans, since both bacterial blight and anthracnose will be present in the soil. However, it' you have to plant beans after beans, and you have some pedigreed • and some nonpedigreed .seed. plant the nonpedigreed seed in the beans- after-beans field. This' way you have infected . seed on infected soil and, clean seed on clean soil. Both diseases are spread in the field from plant to plant. There- fore, working in the growing 'beans has to be minimized. This will mean perfect weed control by using a preplant incorporated herbicide, and a preemergent herbicide. If there arc early weed escapes, Basagran applied early postemergent will control some broadleaf weeds.. As far as cultivating and hilling are concerned, it would be best to avoid both. However, since beans have to be hilted for pulling, we suggest cultivating the field only once for weed control while hilling at the .same time. This should be done on a hot. dry day when all foliage is dry. If you have some nonpedigreed seed, hill these beans last to prevent spreading disease. If possible, use a hose to wash the scuffler between, fields. If this is impractical, at least pull {ill weeds from the feet and legs,. Remove the big chunks of soil from around the shanks. This prevents the spread of any spores that have collected in the soil.
