2022 Nebraska Dry Edible Bean Variety Trials

Carlos A. Urrea, Dry Bean Breeding Specialist,and Cody Kaarstad, Dry Bean Technologist, University of Nebraska–-Lincoln

In 2022, the Panhandle Research, Extension, and Education Center (PREEC) Dry Edible Bean Breeding Program conducted 12 replicated field trials at two locations, the Scottsbluff Ag Lab (Scotts80-Field-7) at PREEC, and the Mitchell Ag Lab (Field J2) five miles to the north. The purpose was to evaluate which dry bean entries (varieties/experimental lines) are best suited for western Nebraska. These trials have been ongoing for 41 years to assist the Nebraska dry bean industry in selecting varieties. Information about dry edible bean variety performance is available at https://cropwatch.unl.edu/varietytest/othercrops

Locations and Germplasm

Twelve replicated trials were planted at the Scottsbluff and Mitchell agricultural labs on June 8 and 3, respectively. These included two great northern (22 entries), two pinto (48 entries), two light red kidney (LRK, 12 entries), two black (13 entries), two navy (14 entries), and two yellow (7 entries).

The soil at the Scottsbluff site (41◦53.6′ N, 103◦40.7′ W; 3,937 ft elevation) is a Tripp, very fine sandy loam (coarse-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Aridic Haplustolls). The soil at the Mitchell site (41◦56.6′ N, 103◦41.9′ W; 44,068 ft elevation) is a silt loam (Typic Ustorthents).

Agronomic Management

Scottsbluff Ag Lab

The field at the Scottsbluff Ag Lab was disked on April 6, plowed on June 3, and sprayed/roller harrowed with Eptam^® @ 2.5 pts/acre and Sonalan^® @ 2 pts/acre on June 6.

The field had 82 lb residual nitrogen (N) in a 36-inch depth and no manure credit, so no additional N was applied.

The field was irrigated 15 times (9.35 inches) using sprinkler irrigation. It received an additional 2.22 inches of precipitation.

Mitchell Ag Lab

The field at the Mitchell Ag Lab was disked on May 7 and 27, plowed on May 20, and sprayed/roller harrowed with Eptam @ 2.5 pts/acre and Sonalan @ 2 pts/acre on May 26.

The field had 33 lb residual N in a 36-inch depth and 85 lb N in a manure credit, so no additional nitrogen was applied.

The field was irrigated 8 times (16.0 inches) using furrow irrigation. It received an additional 2.02 inches of precipitation and a slight l hail damage on July 3.

Experimental Design

The entries were assigned to experimental units using a randomized complete block design with four replications. Each plot consisted of four 22-foot rows spaced 22 inches apart. The target plant population was 80,000 plants/acre for all market classes except the LRK, which had a target population of 100,000 plants/acre. The trials were planted with a Hege cone planter. At the end of the growing season, a plot combine (Wintersteiger Classic) was used to harvest 20 feet of the middle two rows of each plot. Variety/line trials at the Scottsbluff and Mitchell agricultural labs were undercut and combined on September 19 and October 9–10, 2022, respectively.

Response Variables

Data collected were:

yield (lbs/acre adjusted to 14% moisture);
DTF (days to flowering, actual number of days from planting to when 50% of the plants had at least one flower opened);
DTM (days to harvest maturity, actual number of days from planting to when 80% of the plants were ready to be harvested);
100-seed counts (weight of 100 seeds in grams adjusted to 14% moisture);
test weight (lbs/bushel adjusted to 14% moisture);
growth habit (1 = determinate upright; 2a = indeterminate upright short vine; 2b = indeterminate upright long vine; 3a = indeterminate prostrate short vine; 3b = indeterminate prostrate long vine);
plant height in inches; and
common bacterial blight incidence (where 1, 2, 3 = Resistant; 4, 5, 6 = Intermediate; 7, 8, 9 = Susceptible).
Pinto beans were exposed to UV light for 48 hours to verify the slow-darkening trait (yes = slow-darkening; no = regular pintos).

Results are presented in Tables 1 to 12.

Statistical Analysis

Data were analyzed using PROC MIXED (SAS, 2004). Means were separated using an F-protected least significant difference (LSD). All tests were considered significant at p ≤ 0.05.

The GRAND MEAN (bottom of each table) refers to the average of the experiment. The coefficient of variation, expressed as a percentage (CV %), measures the variability of the experiment; large CVs indicate that a large amount of variation cannot be attributed to differences among entries. The LSD was used to evaluate differences among entries. If the difference between two entries exceeds the LSD value for a particular response variable, the higher value is significantly greater with 95% probability (0.05 level). If the difference between two entries is less than the LSD value, the values are considered similar.
