After a few years of rust on both the plant and the beans, maybe I have found a variety that is resistant at least long enough for the first large harvest and not just claiming it is.
Jade II.
I buy them from Twilley Seeds www.twilleyseed.com and I get the seeds that are pre-treated with a fungicide. They are coated PINK.
Not sure what rust on beans looks like? Click here to see pictures Thank you Google.
After the main, first, huge harvest the Jade II the plants still begin to decline to this disease. FOG truly is our enemy and we have had a lot of it this fall and winter here in Lehigh.
"What are home gardening options?", I asked Gene McAvoy our 5-county UF/IFAS veggie agent. "For homeowners - Sulfur, Daconil, Immunox – the last may be the most effective of the three."
