1 R = Resistant, S = Susceptible, NA = Not Available
2 Anthracnose ratings - the predominant race in Ontario is
Race 73. Race 17 (binary system) is equivalent to the Alpha race,
race 23 (binary system) is equivalent to the Delta race.
3 White mould ratings are based on a scale of 1-5, where 1
= very tolerant or low levels of natural infestation, 5 = very
susceptible. White mould trials were located at 10 site years in total
from 2004 - 2009.
4 A variety's suitability for direct harvest is based on a
scale of 1-5, where 1 = upright plant type, standing erect with
good bottom pod height and 5 = more prostrate plant type or plants that
are not erect, with poor bottom pod height.
* Resistance gene for common bacterial blight (Xanthomonas campestris
pv. Phaseoli). Very little disease will
develop on this variety.
