Victory Garden Graph Warns on Bean Diseases and Pests
A Victoria Garden feature by Dean Halliday explains beans face insect and disease threats. Cleaning trash reduces overwintering pests. the Mexican bean beetle is the top threat, feeding on leaf undersides and stunting growth. Rotenone sprays or dusts help control them, and bush beans are less favored where beetles are common. Avoid cultivating wet bean rows to prevent spread of bean canker and anthracnose. Cutting back wet activity limits spore transfer between plants.
