Description
Summary:Island is a high-yielding, tall, partially upright pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), with short vines and an average seed weight of 38.5 g 100 seeds -1 . It was developed at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Research Centre, Lethbridge, AB, in collaboration with the AAFC Research Station, Morden, MB. Island is well adapted to wide-row irrigated production of the Canadian prairies, with yields exceeding those of Othello, the check cultivar. Island is moderately susceptible, as is Othello, to race 73 of anthracnose [caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.-Scrib]; and is moderately resistant to white mould [caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary]. Key words: Pinto (bean), cultivar description, high yield
