Nine pinto bean varieties were tested in the Bonita area of Graham county as a follow up to the tests the previous two years. The top yield in 1990 was nearly 1700 pounds per acre compared with 3200 to 3000 for 1989 and 1988, respectively. Late planting early frost and bean rust all figured into the reduced yields. Additionally, a replicated, small plot test was planted to eleven different species of beans as diverse as garbanzo, lima and kidneys. Yield results and comments on these beans adaptability to the area are included in this report.

This report contains the results of the 2001 National Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery Trials. This replicated, small plot trial contains forty eight varieties of ten different bean classes. Buster, a pinto variety from Seminis Vegetable Seed Company was the highest yielding variety in the study for the third year in a row, with a yield above 3500 pounds per acre. Yields, aerial biomass, harvest index, and 100 bean weights are reported in this study.

This report contains the results of the 2003 National Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery Trials grown at two different sites in southeastern Arizona. These replicated, small plot trials contained twenty-eight varieties from ten different classes of beans. Bill-Z, a pinto variety, was the highest yielding variety in the Terry Brother=s trial with a yield over 3800 pounds per acre. K124467, a Flor de Mayo variety from Archer-Daniels-Midland, was the highest yielding variety in the Haas trial with a yield just under 2900 pounds per acre. Yields, aerial biomass, harvest index, and 100 bean weights are reported for all varieties in both studies.

This report contains the results of the 1999 National Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery Trials. This replicated, small plot trial contains thirty nine varieties of ten different classes of beans. Buster, a pinto variety was the highest yielding variety in the study with a yield over 3700 pounds per acre. Yields, percent moisture, aerial biomass, harvest index, seeds per pound, and plant populations are reported for this study.

This report contains the results of the 2000 National Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery Trials. This replicated, small plot trial contains thirty eight varieties of nine different bean classes. Buster, a pinto variety from Seminis Vegetable Seed Company, was the highest yielding variety in the study with a yield near 4000 pounds per acre. Yields, aerial biomass, harvest index, and 100 bean weights are reported for this study.

This report contains the results of the 2002 National Cooperative Dry Bean Nursery Trials. This replicated, small plot trial contains thirty-one varieties of eleven different bean classes. USPT-73, a pinto variety from WSU/USDA-ARS Prosser was the highest yielding variety in the study with a yield above 3600 pounds per acre. Yields, aerial biomass, harvest index, and 100 bean weights are reported in this study.
