Introduction The 2009 Hand Harvested Snap Bean Variety Trials included thirty-three varieties from seven participating companies (Table 1). Early and late trials were planted. Many varieties were entered in both trials, however some were not. The purpose of this trial was to evaluate snap bean varieties for yield, quality characteristics, and ease of picking in a multiple hand-harvest situation. Materials and Methods Location Field 21B at the University of Delaware Research and Education Center Farm, Georgetown, DE. Cultural Practices Early Trial The field was fertilized according to soil test results: 150 lbs of potassium applied on April 29, 2009. The early trial was planted on May 14, 2009. Twenty-five varieties were planted in single-row plots arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plots were twenty-five feet long. Border rows of the standard variety ‘Provider’ were planted on the outside of the plot. The seeding rate was 8 seeds/foot, for an in-row spacing of 1.5 inches. Between row spacing was 30 inches. Nitrogen (30% UAN) was applied at planting at a rate of 38 lbs/A. Pre-emergence herbicides, Dual II Magnum 0.5 pt/A + Sandea 0.6 oz/A, were applied on May 15, 2009. The early trial was cultivated on June 5, 2009, cultivated and side-dressed with 39 lbs/A N on June 18, 2009, and cultivated a final time on July 3, 2009. Escaped weeds were pulled by hand and overall weed control in the plot was excellent. Warrior at 4 oz/A was applied on July 10, 2009 to control leafhoppers. The plot was overhead irrigated as necessary with a traveling linear system. Late Trial The field was fertilized according to soil test results: 150 lbs of potassium applied on April 29, 2009. The early trial was planted on June 11, 2009. Twenty-four varieties were planted in single-row plots arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plots were twenty-five feet long. Border rows of the standard variety ‘Provider’ were planted on the outside of the plot. The seeding rate was 8 seeds/foot, for an in-row spacing of 1.5 inches. Between row spacing was 30 inches. Nitrogen (30% UAN) was applied at planting at a rate of 38 lbs/A.

Pre-emergence herbicides, Dual II Magnum 0.5 pt/A + Sandea 0.6 oz/A, were applied on June 11, 2009. The early trial was cultivated on July 10, 2009, and cultivated and side-dressed with 39 lbs/A N on July 24, 2009. Escaped weeds were pulled by hand and overall weed control in the plot was excellent. Warrior at 4 oz/A was applied on July 25, 2009 to control leafhoppers and thrips. The plot was overhead irrigated as necessary with a traveling linear system. Harvest Early Trial Harvest of the early trial began on June 29, 2009 (46 DAP) and was completed on July 17, 2009 (64 DAP). Plots were harvested every two to four days resulting in five harvests. A 15 foot section of each 25 foot plot was repeatedly hand harvested. Three individuals harvested the plots and each was assigned to one of the replications. The pickers used stopwatches to measure how long it took to pick each plot and this data was then used to calculate the grams of beans picked per minute. Harvested beans were graded to remove damaged, overmature, misshapen and diseased beans. Gross yield and unmarketable yield were measured and marketable yield was calculated as gross weight minus unmarketable weight. Late Trial Harvest of the late trial began on July 23, 2009 (42 DAP) and was completed on August 17, 2009 (67 DAP). Plots were harvested every two to four days resulting in nine harvests. A 10 foot section of each 25 foot plot was repeatedly hand harvested. Three individuals harvested the plots and each was assigned to one of the replications. The pickers used stopwatches to measure how long it took to pick each plot and this data was then used to calculate the grams of beans picked per minute. Harvested beans were graded to remove damaged, overmature, misshapen and diseased beans. Gross yield and unmarketable yield were measured and marketable yield was calculated as gross weight minus unmarketable weight. Results Total marketable yield of each variety in lbs/A is reported in Table 2 for the early trial and Table 3 for the late trial. There were significant differences in yield between the varieties in both trials. Of the varieties that were in both trials, nearly all had higher yields in the late trial. Tables 4 & 5 show the yields of the varieties in the early and late trials by harvest date. In the early trial the two earliest varieties were first harvested 46 days after planting (DAP). In the late trial the earliest variety was first harvested 42 DAP. The picking time data for each variety in the early and late trials is reported in Tables 6 & 7. There were significant differences between the varieties in the average weight of beans that was harvested per minute. The size of the beans, ease of detachment from the plant, and accessibility of the beans (related to plant size and architecture) are all factors that contributed to the overall ease & speed of picking. The picking time data from both trials and the ease of detachment rating for each variety is summarized in Table 8.

Descriptive data, based on ten-plant or ten-bean samples is presented in Tables 9, 10, 11 and 12. There were significant differences between the varieties for all of the characteristics measured: plant height, number of marketable beans per plant, pod length and pod diameter. Appendix A contains pictures of each variety, along with a summary of the yield data, harvest ease ratings, and descriptive data. Varieties are ordered from largest to smallest pod diameter. Appendix B contains temperature and rainfall data from the Georgetown REC weather station corresponding to the period from planting to final harvest of both of the trial.
