Conduct bean
Sixteen growers ♦rowers in Perth
and Huron Counties are parr
ticipating .ina kidney bean
; study.: This study involved
piing the seed purchased
.,each grower and coupler-
ing the emergence in the
field with that . obtained in
the plots at Centralia College •
of Agricultural Techiiology.
The 20 fields involved have
already been walkedto com-
plete.. the first phase of the
study, They will be rated for
disease, insects and. other
probllems.
Many growers walked
their` fields with its during
the emergence check and
some of their comments
were echoed again and
again. Their biggest concern
centeredaround the , poor
quality seed they were
receiving, Many had noticed
a greater number of split
beans and less uniformity in
seed " size than .in previous
years. These observations
were borne out at Centralia
when the. number : of seeds
per pound was calculated.
Itedicloud had a 23 percent
difference in the number of
seeds ' per pound between
lots. one lot had 597 seeds
per pound, another lot 859
seeds per pound. Sacramen-
to had a 10 percent dif-
ference. One grower
remarked that since he paid
a. lot of money per acre for
seed`, he expected better
quality.
The 20 fields being watch-
ed were all planted between
May 26 and June 6 and all
have . gotten off to a good
start. When tested in the
plots at Centrax, all the lots
exhibited 85 percent or, bet-
ter
dter emergence. lathe fields,
emergence. was generally
good but in .some cases, seed
bed preparation could have
been improved to increase
emergence.
Seeding rates varied from'
50-75 lbs, per acre with only
six grower's going at the
recommended 6065 lbs.
'Chose using the lower
seeding rates felt that the
beans would fill in the rows.
They also hoped that the
chances of disease would be
lessened by not crowding the
plants. The number of plants
per foot of .row varied from
2.0-3.4. Even though many
fields . were below the sug-
gested 34 plants perr foot, the
rows still looked full. This
would indicate that 3-5 plants
per foot may not be
necessary in order to obtain
full and vigorous stands.
. While walking the fields, a
check for weeds and insects
wao,, also made. Hiindweed
was present in many of the
fields as were ragweed,
Intim tnes her best

your help, I could possibly do
ark even better job, THANK

Isolated patches of swamp
snlartweed, ground cherry,
and ' climbing . nightsrade
were also found..•
.The only insect damage
uncovered to date has been
seed corn maggot. Half of
the fields were planted, us.*
"seeds treated with 84. or
ISL Plus. Two of the un-
treated fields showed some
maggot damage. The plots
at Centralia are showing
some leafhopper; burn :: but
seed corn maggots have not
been a real problem We will
be. watching . the fields for
algae of bacterial blight and
white mold throughout the
surnrnerr.
'If a quality product is
harvested, kidney beans Can
bea very profitable crop, By,
having growers participate
such studies as this,
perhaps we can help them
produce such a product more
efficiently.
