General Preventive Measures

  1. All equipment used for cleaning, conveying or planting seed should be thoroughly washed with detergent to remove all soil. The equipment should then be disinfected with a quaternary ammonium compound (for example, Niagara HY-X) or sodium hypochlorite (for example, 10% Javex). Rinse off the disinfectant with clean water to limit rusting of treated surfaces.
  2. Use a 3-4-year rotation with non-related crops.
  3. Do not apply manure containing bean refuse to land intended for beans.
  4. Stay out of bean fields when the foliage is wet to avoid spreading diseases.
