Been through once and mine are also showing signs agin now, agro said to leave it, podding up well but seem to be a lot of aborted pods higher up the stem, where it flowered but no pod. Mine vary in hight massively from waist high to Labrador high.

Granted we have a high chocolate spot pressure here in the south of Ireland but personally I wouldn’t grow beans without Signum. Two spray program normally. If I had a good crop of beans, I would happily apply 0.75kg/Ha in each pass.
The addition of Elatus Era to the spray options would be very good news here where winter beans require 3 sprays.
Chocolate Spot control is preventative only so chemical needs to hit the new leaves before symptoms appear.
