Smart beans grow smart in cool and hot conditions
In Geneva New York Dr Michael Dickson at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station developed "smart beans" that avoid germination in cold and thrive in cool springs and heat up to 95 degrees. The beans promise stable production in cool springs and rapid pod setting in heat, with breeding lines for seed companies to commercialize within years. For now gardeners should mulch, keep beans picked young, and prune to boost yields and extend the harvest.
