Abstract

Pynenburg, G. M., Sikkema, P. H., Robinson, D. E. and Gillard, C. L. 2011. The interaction of annual weed and white mold management systems for dry bean production in Canada. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 587–598. Annual weeds and white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) are serious pests in dry bean, and can cause substantial yield losses. The proper management of these pests is essential for profitable production. A 2-yr study conducted at three field locations in Ontario examined the effects of two pre-plant incorporated herbicide programs on weed management and three foliar fungicides on white mold development. In addition, thiamethoxam was evaluated for its ability to alleviate stress caused by annual weeds and white mold. Interactions among disease severity, weed control, agronomics and economic returns were examined. Thiamethoxam seed treatment had inconsistent benefits with respect to plant emergence and vigour, harvested weight, seed weight and economic returns. There were no benefits for the other paramet...
