Abstract
A two-year survey at Zanjan, Iran, in the 2008–2009 growing season assessed associations of Rhizoctonia root rot (RRR) with 24 cropping system characteristics for disease control purposes. Correspondence analysis evidenced that manure use, sprinkler irrigation, planting beans following potato and tomato, the lack of urea application, proper plant density, shallow planting, avoiding furrow irrigation, manual cultivation, growing Red beans, proper soil organic-matter, weed control using paraquat or bentazon, irrigating at 6–9 days intervals, improving rhizobial nodulation, and growing beans in soils containing 15–30% silt were associated with low RRR spread. Present findings help us to incorporate more effective methods in an integrated RRR-control program for sustainable bean production.
