Sanilac Co. Michigan | Some of it could be shorter beans, though you don't mention that. Also could be that the no-till fields didn't "incorporate" the white mold spores back into the top soil layer. Seems to be some talk of that bantered about that suggests no-till reduces white mold infections. Could also be that even under lab conditions it can be darn difficult to induce white mold infections. That seems to be the biggest hold up in developing lines of beans with true resistance to white mold.
Also have to tell you that most all my ground has been continuous no-till for a long time and I still get white mold infections, so I don't think it's the absolute cure for the problem. | |
