Introduction

In 2024, Michigan State University researchers and Michigan dry bean producers tested 155 lines from 12 market classes of dry beans. The trial plots (Table 1) were placed in six locations across five Michigan counties: Bay, Huron, Montcalm, Sanilac, and Tuscola (two sites).

Small- and medium-seeded beans were tested in Bay, Huron, Sanilac, and Tuscola counties. Black beans (small-seeded beans) were also tested in Montcalm County based on grower feedback and interest. Large-seeded beans were tested in Montcalm and Tuscola counties.

This report summarizes the results of the trials. Please contact Scott Bales (phone 989-262-8550, extension 2; email balessco@msu.edu) with questions about the 2024 performance trials and suggestions for the 2025 trials.
