HAROKENT FIELD BEAN

Abstract
Harokent, a backcross-derived disease-resistant cultivar of navy bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) with a yield potential similar to that of Kentwood, was developed at the Research Station, Agriculture Canada, Harrow, Ontario. Harokent carries the Are gene that confers resistance to alpha, beta, delta, epsilon, gamma and lambda races of bean anthracnose (Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magn.) Briosi & Cav.) and the I gene for resistance to races 1 and 15 of bean common mosaic virus.Key words: Cultivar description, bean, bean anthracnose
