Although some indication of sensitive varieties may be given by manufacturers on their product labels, it is important that those concerned with application of herbicides to Phaseolus (dwarf green) and Vicia (broad and field) beans should be aware of herbicide effects. Varieties can differ in their tolerance towards herbicides, and experiments testing their reaction to those in common use are carried out at Thornhaugh annually. The varieties chosen are those in current commercial use, as well as promising new varieties from the PGRO evaluation trials which may be used in the future. The classification of sensitivity is based on data from two seasons at least, since the effect of herbicide can vary with the weather conditions and soil type. CLASSIFICATION The sensitivity of the varieties to the herbicides is classified on a 1 to 5 scale as fol ows:- 1 - Highly tolerant The variety shows little effect when high dose rates are used and it is unlikely that damage will occur when healthy crops are treated. 2 - Tolerant The variety exhibits good tolerance to the material and crop damage is unlikely to occur, provided the crop is healthy when treated. 3 - Slightly susceptible The variety usually exhibits good tolerance, but occasionally some adverse effects may occur, particularly under unfavourable conditions or if the crop is not healthy or vigorous. 4 - Moderately susceptible The variety exhibits some adverse effects under most conditions. 5 - Highly susceptible The variety is prone to quite serious damage particularly under unfavourable conditions. No particular problems should occur with varieties in classifications 1 and 2. Care should be taken when treating varieties in classification 3. For simazine, used for broad or field beans, sowing depth should be at least 7cms. For Opogard 500L, Senate and Remtal SC or Reflex T sowing depth can be 2.5cms (or more). Applications of pre-emergence herbicide to very open, loose or stony seedbeds should also be avoided. Treflan can reduce green bean emergence and cause stunting on cold, wet seedbeds. The addition of Silwet to Flex increases phytotoxicity and brown spotting on leaves may occur. For post- emergence applications crops should be healthy and at the recommended growth stage. Conditions for application should be as close as possible to manufacturers recommendations, and the correct dose used. Varieties in classifications 4 and 5 should preferably be treated with alternative materials. DWARF GREEN BEANS(Phaseolus vulgaris)

No variety so far has been found to be sensitive to Laser (or Stratos) + oil. Damage effects from bentazone (Basagran) are related to growth stage and adverse weather conditions rather than variety, however, Talia is slightly sensitive and should not be treated with Basagran at full dose rate. FIELD BEANS(Vicia faba)
Spring field beans, including most white flowered varieties tested so far are tolerant to pre-emergence herbicides Opogard and Batallion, although small seeded varieties such as Maris Bead, Titch and Diana are occasionally more sensitive. Bullet may occasionally cause distortion of the growing point, but there is no particular varietal sensitivity. Reflex T and Remtal are very safe to all varieties of field beans. Simazine can be damaging if sowing depth of beans is too shallow. Damage effects from Basagran and Basagran SG are generally related to growth stage and adverse weather conditions rather than variety. Information on varieties tested is available from PGRO. CHEMICAL NAME
pendimethalin/cyanazine - Bul et The approval for Arresin, used for dwarf green beans, has been revoked following withdrawal by the manufacturer. Exisiting stocks may no longer be used (use up date was October 2000).
Managing Your Warfarin (Coumadin®) A Patient’s Guide A Message To You The goal of anticoagulation therapy with warfarin (Coumadin®) is to decrease the clotting ability of your blood so that blood clots are prevented. The most important aspect of warfarin therapy is to keep your levels within a therapeutic range. If your level goes too low, you are at risk for blood clots
