Dry Bean Scene
/in Crops, Dry Bean Scene, Weekly E-News /by Red River Farm NetworkA new black bean variety called ND Twilight is now available from North Dakota State University. This is the second black bean variety released from the NDSU breeding program. The new upright variety matures in approximately 90 days, and also has higher seed yield compared to other black beans varieties grown in the region. Learn more from NDSU dry bean breeder Dr. Juan Osorno in the latest Dry Bean Scene, made possible by the Northarvest Bean Growers Association.

Pinto Beans Respond to Phosphorus Start Fertilizer
/in Crops, Weekly E-News /by Red River Farm Network- Pinto bean seed yield increased more than 3 hundredweight (cwt) per acre with in-furrow (IF, meaning fertilizer placed directly with seed) -applied 10-34-0 at 2 to 3 gallons per acre (gpa), compared with the untreated check.
- Yield was similar with IF- and band-applied (2 inches horizontally placed from planted seed) 10-34-0 at 3 to 6 gpa, although the plant population was reduced with IF application.
- Broadcast or midrow (centered between 22- or 30-inch rows) band-applied 10-34-0 did not increase yield.
- Yield was similar between low (2.5 to 3 gpa) and high (5 to 6 gpa) rates of IF-applied 10-34-0. The high fertilizer rate reduced the plant population.
- The plant population and yield were similar between IF-applied 10-34-0 and the low-salt fertilizer 6-24-6.
