[00:00:00.480]Several plots of kidney beans
[00:00:01.780]are being grown south of the
[00:00:03.250]University of Nebraska-Lincoln
[00:00:05.140]Panhandle Research Extension
[00:00:06.900]and Education Center in Scottsbluff.
[00:00:08.650].
[00:00:09.360]The seeds in the plots have
[00:00:10.920]been treated with fungicides
[00:00:12.660]for root rot.
[00:00:13.680]Bob Harveson, Nebraska
[00:00:15.030]Extension plant pathologist,
[00:00:16.770]explains more on the study.
[00:00:18.440]They can be caused by several
[00:00:20.520]different species of Fusarium
[00:00:22.760]and Rhizoctonia, so it's a
[00:00:24.730]whole quadrant of things that
[00:00:26.900]can do it.
[00:00:27.920]But the seeds were coated with
[00:00:30.240]these fungicides and then we
[00:00:32.460]put it in there when they were
[00:00:34.670]planted.
[00:00:35.700]And then we're just testing
[00:00:38.110]them now to see what happens,
[00:00:40.770]whether the disease was...
[00:00:43.900]They don't look really diseased
[00:00:45.460]right now.
[00:00:46.060]They look pretty good.
[00:00:47.360]So for us, that's not what we
[00:00:48.950]want to see.
[00:00:49.800]Research technicians Tyler
[00:00:51.360]Patrick and Allison Rickey were
[00:00:53.080]pulling plants and saving the
[00:00:54.690]roots,
[00:00:55.200]which will be looked at back in
[00:00:56.760]the lab.
[00:00:57.740]for where the pathogen has come
[00:00:59.750]in and infected it.
[00:01:01.200]And so we're seeing, and I
[00:01:02.760]think you're gonna see stuff
[00:01:05.840]on a lead, on a root this time
[00:01:08.150]of year, almost anywhere.
[00:01:10.680]But, you know, we just have a
[00:01:13.090]rate that we would be having.
[00:01:15.680]I think it's zero to four, with
[00:01:18.860]four being just hammered
[00:01:20.260]and zero being nothing.
[00:01:21.460]So we'll put that in and just
[00:01:24.700]see what was,
[00:01:26.680]much of the root was affected.
[00:01:28.690]Harveson said that would mean
[00:01:30.550]the fungicide could lead to a
[00:01:32.530]better
[00:01:32.600]yield for the plant. The kidney
[00:01:34.560]beans were a replant after the
[00:01:36.310]hailstorm on June 29th, which
[00:01:38.560]decimated many of the plots at
[00:01:40.240]the extension center. With the
[00:01:42.140]UNL Panhandle Research
[00:01:43.490]Extension
[00:01:44.260]and Education Center, I'm Chabella
[00:01:46.440]Guzman.
