So says Thompson’s ‘Elite’ report of July 11. Despite the hot, dry weather, edible beans look good around Ontario says this week’s crop update. Beans are now in the 3rd-5th trifoliate. Weed control is generally very good and not much leaf hopper activity is being reported. The crop, of course needs rain since blossoming is not too far off.
The Michigan also needs rain; “water is needed now, to move the crop.” the report says.
The Manitoba crop continues to progress quite nicely and most fields are coming into the early bloom stage. Outlook this week is for good warm growing conditions with a significant chance of rain.
