Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is considered to be a poor N fixer relative to other legumes. However, considerable genotypic variability between cultivars is known to exist. Determining the importance of the host genotype to the symbiotic process will assist breeders in developing bean cultivars with improved N2 fixing capacity. Field experiments were conducted at two locations in Saskatchewan for two seasons to assess the N2 fixation rates of four common bean cultivars differing in growth habit and maturity. Beans were inoculated using a granular inoculant applied in the seedrow or in a sideband, or not inoculated at all. Inoculation resulted in greater nodule dry mass, shoot dry mass, seed yield and amount of N derived from atmosphere as compared with the uninoculated control. The response to inoculant application was cultivar specific, with N derived from the atmosphere ranging from a low of 51% (CDC Camino) to a high of 78% (CDC Pinnacle). The cultivars responded similarly to inoculant placement. The sideband treatment was associated with a delay in maturity. This may limit the suitability of this treatment where early maturity of the crop is critical. Key words: Phaseolus vulgaris, common bean, Rhizobium, N2 fixation, inoculation

AAC Y073 is a high-yielding, yellow dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with a partially upright, determinate bush (type I) growth habit, early maturity, and large seeds with a bright yellow seed coat. Large, bright yellow seeds of AAC Y073 is an improvement over the current check cultivar CDC Sol. AAC Y073 was developed at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research and Development Centre, Lethbridge, AB, and is well suited for commercial production under irrigation in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

ABSTRACT: Production of biochar from organic wastes promises to be an interesting source of plant nutrients, thus reducing pressure on natural resources. To assess the effect of biochar prepared from wastes filtration materials on the growth and production of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), three simultaneous greenhouse experiments were conducted with three different biochar from organic wastes (rice husk, sawdust, and sorghum silage) using as filtration material for swine biofertilizer. In each experiment the treatments consisted of the addition of five different biochar concentrations (0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% v/v), arranged in a completely random design, with four repetitions. Application of biochar increased the root dry mass, shoot dry mass, grain dry mass, number of pods and number of grains. These results indicated that biochar contributed significantly to the growth and production of common bean plants.

AC Skipper is an early-maturing navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with good canning characteristics. It was developed at the Lethbridge Research Centre from a complex three-way cross of Kentwood, Swan Valley and Redkloud. AC Skipper has a short determinate bush growth habit, matures almost 3 d before OAC Seaforth, and is adapted to all bean growing regions of western Canada. Key words:Phaseolus vulgaris, navy bean, cultivar description, early maturity

Harowood is a late-maturing, high-yielding white (navy) bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivar with a semideterminate growth habit. The main advantages of Harowood over other cultivars are its more erect plant type which forms a narrow canopy and its high podding nodes which make the crop suitable for narrow row production and direct combining. Harowood is resistant to the alpha and delta races of anthracnose and to races 1 and 15 of bean common mosaic virus. Key words: Phaseolus vulgaris L., dry edible (navy, pea) bean, upright plant type, cultivar description
