Field bean - leaf and pod spot

[czechmate]

For myself, leaf and pod spot is the biggest problem of growing field beans - maybe made worse by slightly early sowings, pushed by some wet autumns.
is anyone growing a variety with resistance/tolerance?
Is it effective?
Does it come with different issues (like no yield?)
Or does it reinvent the wheel as far as bean growing is concerned?

Is this asochyta? Read pgro info? You should test before home saving from memory (but I never do)

I have yet to find the ideal break crop for our area. Everything has its problems. We have tried beans, sunflowers ,maize, lupins, osr, peas,millet, buckwheat etc and couldn't really say any of them are right for here. We still grow osr,beans and sunflowers the rest might yet make a comeback. I might try winter linseed, you never know.

With beans I always thought our big disease problem was chocolate spot, we normally spray once. However the biggest real problem is they pod up too late and most years its too hot and dry for them to really get going. Many of the flowers never get the chance to turn into pods.

Reading through varietys, I see Wizzard is highly resistant. Probably why it’s not a widespread problem in the uk.
i wonder if they are available /will do any good, here in mid France

Tried Wizard in a field of Diva which we have been growing for years. Nothing special, I wonder if they are a bit late flowering for here. They are sold as a forage variety not for combining.

mrs Czech was looking at varieties (here) this morning. She found a resistant variety, I can’t remember it’s name but it may have been Diva. The information said it wasn’t ever so hardy

Have you tried soybeans. They love the heat but will need a decent amount of rain too.

Never tried it mostly because it has low tolerance of cold. Its been a few years since I lost entire fields of winter beans to a -12 winter frost but i can happen.

The beans we have been discussing are autumn sown so pod up considerably earlier than soya. Soya is grown not far from here but its almost always irrigated as it has the reputation of being very water hungry. We have stones as well and can't really shave the ground with our combine.

i had wondered about trying them, but I grow stuff that I can use for feed rather than sell on

I have heard of a soya bean press and meal return deal being offered but I can't find the location or in fact name of the company.

I'd love to try doing something like that.

yes, they need cooking?

the French like an easy life and when merchants see me doing my own milling, they say ffs, just send your grain to us and we will send you feed - like everyone else
I like to be self contained…

What a shame. I would love to grow sunflowers commercially. With the newer technology you can use clearfield etc to deal with weeds.

I think we grow sunflowers more as a means of grassweed control than as a profitable crop in their own right but isn't that what break crops are for? Perhaps a fallow and then a cereal crop every other year might make more sense on marginal land but it goes against my busy fool mentality.

the farm accros the road sold through the winter.
It was old permanent grass and limmi cows.
Now, 100% sunflowers. I (and nor the new owner) don’t know what it will be next year.
