Extract

1. Treatment of seed beans with an organomercurial dressing has been shown to have little or no effect on growth and yield.

2. Experiments have shown that the emergence of ‘weevilled’ beans is markedly less than that of sound beans for both winter and spring sowings.

3. It is suggested that the reduced emergence of weevilled beans is due to beetle injury of the seed and not to invasion by soil organisms.
