Integrated Pest Management Options

Can occur on all soil types but losses are greatest on wet, clay soils. Minimize soil compaction and remove excess moisture through increased drainage. Seed should be treated with metalaxyl or metalaxyl-M and planted into warm soils 16°C (60°F). Rotate 3-4 years between bean crops.

Due to anthracnose concerns, all seeds should be treated with DCT. See the section Anthracanose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum), for more details.

Do not use in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other non-commercial seed treatment applications at or immediately before planting. Do not graze or feed livestock on seeded area for 4 weeks after planting. Read label for information regarding resistant strains of fungus.
