The three major objectives of this project are to: 1) determine the optimum row spacing and seeding rate for one Pinto and one Great Northern bean genotype with the best agronomic characteristics; 2) determine optimum nutrient requirements using urea and ESN (polymer coated slow release urea) fertilizer types and rates, including in-crop N applications with one genotype, with and without inoculant; and 3) determine optimum application practices for solid-seeded beans for white mould control. This experiment will be carried out at three locations: Vauxhall, Taber and Bow Island over three growing seasons.
