AC Polaris is a high-yielding great northern dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgarisL.) cultivar. It was developed from a series of crosses at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre, Lethbridge, with cooperation from the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Centre Morden. AC Polaris is particularly well adapted to the western Canadian prairies using the narrow-row production system, yielding significantly more than check cultivars, US1140 and CDC Nordic, at 14 of 15 trials. AC Polaris is moderately susceptible to white mold.

White mold (WM) caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is the most devastating disease of common bean (dry and snap or garden bean) (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in North America. The use of a reliable screening method (SM) in common bean is crucial to improve physiological resistance to WM. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of three SM to identify physiological resistance in dry bean genotypes with different evolutionary origins and levels of resistance. Screening methods tested were: (i) the modified straw test or cut–stem (CSM); (ii) infected bean flower (IFL); and (iii) infected oat seed (IOS). A 195, ICA Bunsi, Othello, and VCW 54 dry bean were tested with the three SM. The experimental design was a split plot in randomized complete blocks with three replications in 2007 and 2008. Two independent inoculations 1 wk apart for each SM were made. The WM reaction was scored at 16, 23, and 33 d post-inoculation (DPI) using a 1 to 9 scale. There were highly significant differences between SM and its interaction with years. The CSM and IFL were the most consistent and highly correlated (r > 0.70, P < 0.01). Interspecific breeding line VCW 54 consistently had the highest WM resistance across years, SM, and evaluation dates, followed by A 195. White mold scores increased with delayed evaluations. Thus, CSM or IFL with disease assessed 33 DPI should be used for identifying common bean genotypes with high levels of physiological resistance to WM.Key words: Common bean, growth habit, race Mesoamerica, race Nueva Granada, Phaseolus vulgaris, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

White mold, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is the most important disease affecting dry bean production in North Dakota. This disease currently is managed mainly through fungicides applied during the flowering stage. A disease-forecasting model was developed to help growers with their decision to apply these fungicides. The model was built using weather variables collected during eight consecutive half-month periods between 1 May and 31 August 2003 to 2005 and white mold incidence data obtained from 150 fields. The model was produced using logistic regression analysis, and includes total rainfall, average minimum temperature, and number of rainy days in the first half of June, July, and August, respectively, as predictors and explained 85% of the variability. The model was validated using an independent disease data set collected from 100 fields during the same years. The model exhibited high true positive ratio (0.79) and very high accuracy (0.91) between observed and predicted probabilities of white mold incidence. Results from this study suggest that in-season macro-weather variables could be used to predict the risk of white mold, which in-turn could help growers make better-informed decisions on whether or not to apply fungicides for white mold control.

AbstractWhite mold caused by the fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating disease of soybean (Glycine max) and other leguminous crops, including dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). Previous research has demonstrated that no-till planting soybean into rolled–crimped cereal rye residue can enhance weed management, improve soil health and reduce labor requirements in organic production. However, there are limited data on the effects of cereal rye residue on white mold suppression in no-till planted soybean and dry bean. Two field trials were conducted in 2016–2017 (Year 1) and repeated in 2017–2018 (Year 2) to evaluate the potential of cereal rye cover crop residue to suppress white mold in these crops. In each trial (soybean and dry bean), the experimental design was a randomized complete block with two treatments: (1) rolled–crimped cereal rye residue and (2) no cover crop control. Treatment effects on plant population, biomass and yield components varied between the main crops. Compared with the control treatment, cereal rye residue reduced the incidence of white mold in soybean in both years and in dry bean in Year 2. The reduction in white mold in cereal rye residue plots was due to a combination of (1) decreased sclerotial germination (no stipes formed) and (2) increased nonfunctional sclerotial germination defined here as sclerotia that germinated but produced stipes without the expanded cup where asci containing ascospores are formed. Weed density and biomass were lower in cereal rye residue plots in soybean and dry bean, except in Year 1 in soybean when weed biomass was low in both treatments. Our findings indicate that cereal rye residue could help organic and conventional farmers manage white mold in no-till planted soybean and dry bean. Germination of sclerotia resulting in nonfunctional apothecia could potentially exhaust soilborne inoculum in the upper soil profile and reduce infections in subsequent crops.
