Objective:

  1. To evaluate the effectiveness of registered and unregistered chemical controls of Rust, Leaf Spot, and Downey Mildew in Table Beets (Uromyces betae, Cercospora beticola, and Peronospora schachtii.)

Status Report Table Beets, Aphid Control, Virus Suppression and Yield Response 1990

Aphid populations are being monitored in 4 different red table beet plantings in the South Willamette Valley. Fields were
selected because of their proximity to sugar beets being grown for seed. Yellow pan traps with water are being used to monitor black bean aphid and green peach aphid flights into beets. Aphid populations are being monitored on beets for in field build up.

Green Bean Breeding

Objectives: Breed bush green beans for the western Oregon processing industry with:

  • Improved potential for high yields at favorable sieve sizes and dependability.
  • Improved straightness, texture, and other quality factors.
  • Develop easy picking and small pod strains of Blue Lake type.
  • Resistance to white mold and root rot.

Fungicide resistance in Botrytis cinerea in snap beans, and chemical and biological control of gray and white mold of snap beans

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the distribution and frequency of benomyl and vinclozolin/iprodione resistance in the Botrytis population in snap bean fields located in the Willamette Valley.
  • Evaluate the efficacy of experimental fungicides for control of gray mold and white mold of snap beans.
  • Evaluate the efficacy of biological antagonists for control of gray mold of snap beans.

Objective:

  1. Evaluate the effectiveness of non registered chemicals (Bayleton, Folicur) and registered chemical (Sulfur) for the control of Rust, Leaf Spot, and Mildew in Table Beets (Uromyces betae, Cercospora beticola, Peronospora schachtii, and Erysiphe polygoni.)
