French flageolet type shelling bean. Western European reference variety in its segment. It has an extremely reliable yield potential, especially suitable for mechanical harvesting.
The forecrop should be wheat if possible, after which you must use a subsoiler. Green beans must not be put into areas infected with perennial weeds (creeping thistle, johnson grass etc)!
In spring any ploughing should be closed up and soil surface smoothed out.
Until the seedbed is prepared, the soil should be kept free of weeds by non-selective herbicides.
Beans will benefit from correct nutrient supply, which should be based on soil tests. Ensuring ample phosphorus (P2O5) and zinc (Zn) are essential for high yields.
VARIETY SELECTION
Selection of variety type is based on what the market demands regarding pod diameter, shape and colour, etc.
Within each type there is a generous choice of varieties, yet there could be great variations regarding growing ability, adaptability, resistance or tolerance to diseases, machine harvestability (rate of pod clustering), length of the growing season, the uniformity of flowering and fruit ripening.
It’s recommended to constantly do trials from the ever-changing range of varieties to find the best one which satisfies processing and production demands.
SOWING MACHINE ADJUSTMENT
Sowing is done by modern, pneumatic precision seed drills at the rate of 280,000-300,000 seeds/ha (45 cm row spacing/7.5-8 cm seed distance/4-5 cm depth).
For Romano and Borlotto type beans we sow at a rate of 250 to 260,000 seed/ha.
CHEMICAL WEED MANAGEMENT
After sowing and before emergence use (S-metolachlor) Dual Gold 960 EC 1.6 l/ha, followed by a leavening irrigation, preferably immediately after sowing is complete.
When the bean is around 2-4 true leaf stage till it’s 10 cm in size (3 true leafs = 9 leaf blades), and weeds reach 2-4 true leaf stage, use (bentazon) Basagran 480 SL 2 l/ha dispensed with 300 l/ha water. In practice, Basagran can be used until the flower buds appear! Adhesion boost is important (Silva, Super Spray) because of the waxy-leaved weeds (eg. Hibiscus trionum, velvetleaf and pigweed species). Dispensing must only be done late in the evening or at dawn (max. 25 degrees Celsius) to avoid scorching. 6-10 hours after spraying, a refreshing irrigation is beneficial, but the chance to scorch the beans can also be reduced if the spraying is done in wet/humid soil conditions.
ROW CROP CULTIVATION, PLANT PROTECTION AND CARE
We do row cultivation twice until foliage closure. With the first one we dispense the nitrogen as basic fertilizer (CAN 25-28% active ingredient, possibly fortified with Zinc and Boron micronutrients), which needs to be watered immediately.
After the beans reach 10-12 cm, the use of foliar fertilizer containing Zinc and Boron is beneficial. During this period (azoxystrobin) Amistar can also be combined into foliar fertilizers with a 0.7-1 l/ha dose.
During the flowering period pyrethroid applied with bee sparing technology thins down new cotton bollworm moth populations. At the end of the flowering period and during pod development, if needed, do as described above taking waiting periods into account. In case of severe infection - based on pheromone trap observation - the use of more serious stomach poisons (Affirm, Coragen and Steward 30 DF) is appropriate, even if requesting a special permit is needed, because having a large proportion of damaged pods may result in making the whole harvest unprocessable and the field excluded! The waiting times when using these pesticides must be adjusted to the expected harvest. Generally speaking, harvest is 15-20 days after full flowering.
Against the development of fungal diseases (gray mold) in lush foliage or late-sown crop, the use of chemicals containing folpet as active substance (eg. FOLPAK 48 Sc) is recommended. Treatment is worth doing at flowering or immediately after flowering.
It is possible that in spite of correctly carried out weed control, the area still suffers a breakout of herbicide-resistant weeds (pigweed species, velvetleaf, hibiscus trionum, nightshade and jimsonweed) due to cool, rainy weather. In this case, the hoeing and hand-weeding of the affected field is inevitable. Poisonous weeds (hibiscus trionum, nightshade and jimsonweed) in no way can remain among green beans because it will result in the exclusion of the production area.
IRRIGATION
A good, consistent water supply is necessary for high yield and for a uniform good quality. The plant immediately shows signs of lack of water by darkening the foliage. In particular, one should take care of irrigation in the post-bloom period, because in this period the developing pods will easily dry out at low humidity, or due to lack of water.
Avoid overwatering, because beans do not tolerate standing water.
With regards to weather, in the cultivation of beans the greatest danger under our continental climatic conditions is water scarcity coupled with dry winds or sudden downpour of large amounts of rainfall. Dry weather can be mitigated with a modern sprinkler (linear) irrigation system, whilst the accumulation of standing waters due to sudden rains can be avoided to a certain degree by correct tillage, and appropriately loosened soil.
Yellow-colored variant of flat-podded bean varieties. It is characterized by upright bushes, straight and fleshy pods and a uniform beautiful colour.
The forecrop should be wheat if possible, after which you must use a subsoiler. Green beans must not be put into areas infected with perennial weeds (creeping thistle, johnson grass etc)!

In case of severe infection - based on pheromone trap observation - the use of more serious stomach poisons (Affirm, Coragen and Steward 30 DF) is appropriate, even if requesting a special permit is needed, because having a large proportion of damaged pods may result in making the whole harvest unprocessable and the field excluded! The waiting times when using these pesticides must be adjusted to the expected harvest. Generally speaking, harvest is 15-20 days after full flowering.
Against the development of fungal diseases (gray mold) in lush foliage or late-sown crop, the use of chemicals containing folpet as active substance (eg. FOLPAK 48 Sc) is recommended. Treatment is worth doing at flowering or immediately after flowering.
It is possible that in spite of correctly carried out weed control, the area still suffers a breakout of herbicide-resistant weeds (pigweed species, velvetleaf, hibiscus trionum, nightshade and jimsonweed) due to cool, rainy weather. In this case, the hoeing and hand-weeding of the affected field is inevitable. Poisonous weeds (hibiscus trionum, nightshade and jimsonweed) in no way can remain among green beans because it will result in the exclusion of the production area.
IRRIGATION
A good, consistent water supply is necessary for high yield and for a uniform good quality. The plant immediately shows signs of lack of water by darkening the foliage. In particular, one should take care of irrigation in the post-bloom period, because in this period the developing pods will easily dry out at low humidity, or due to lack of water.
Avoid overwatering, because beans do not tolerate standing water.
With regards to weather, in the cultivation of beans the greatest danger under our continental climatic conditions is water scarcity coupled with dry winds or sudden downpour of large amounts of rainfall. Dry weather can be mitigated with a modern sprinkler (linear) irrigation system, whilst the accumulation of standing waters due to sudden rains can be avoided to a certain degree by correct tillage, and appropriately loosened soil.
Dessert R78 is a MDMV resistant super sweet hybrid with medium maturity length. The plant is strong growing and highly adaptive. The variety’s fertility quotient is outstanding: almost all plants grow a standard corn-cob. Its adaptability, viral resistance and high fertility levels ensure that sown almost any time (from mid-April to early July) it yields reliably. Harvestability is flexible: it preserves sweetness even in an overripe condition and can be kept standing for a long time.
Dessert R78 is the tastiest member of our variety line. Its crop is extremely sweet and juicy, the kernels are of medium size. Primarily threshed product is suitable to be produced from this hybrid.
Dessert R78 is a high-yielding, flexibly harvestable hybrid with outstanding taste quality.
The features provided are somewhat subject to change depending on the particular production and weather conditions.
GROWING TECHNOLOGY CORNER POINTS
for the large-scale production of Dessert R78
TOPCORN Kft., 2021
ISOLATION (from non-supersweet sweet corn and maize)
Distance: at least 150m or
Time: at least 10-day flowering time difference - timing of sowing, or
- variety pairing (Dessert R78 + Jumbo)
SEEDBED PREPARATION
At the time of sowing the seed bed should be - settled (natural capillarity)
- with an even surface
In case of dry soil conditions irrigate (20-30 mm/m2) 4-8 days before sowing to build water reserves.
Immediately prior to sowing only loosen the soil till sowing depth (3-4 cm).
TIMING OF SOWING
Optimum sowing period: from the beginning of April onward, until early July, when the average soil temperature at sowing depth reaches 12 °C
Wait with sowing, if according to forecasts a cooling is expected in 24-48 hours.
SOWING MACHINE ADJUSTMENT
Seed discs with smaller holes (3-4 mm) are required ('sunflower' settings)
Reduce driving speed
(» better soil tracking » more uniform sowing depth » rapid and uniform emergence »
» consistent crop = bigger yields + less deduction by processors!).
Sowing density: 52-58 thousand germ/ha (10% less than conventional)
SOWING DEPTH
The optimum sowing depth is determined by taking into account the following factors:
in the specific area the sowing machine can ensure a uniform drilling depth
the seed should have contact with a settled wet layer of soil
(or: leavening irrigation / with linear only! / within 24-48 hours!)
the seed should not go deeper than 4 cm
CHEMICAL WEED CONTROL
Base treatment at the beginning of emergence (it’s safe enough then): Gardoprim Plus Gold
Post-emergent treatment: Laudis (till 4-5 leafs it’s safe to use it on corn)
Other post-treatments are considered high-risk (yield and quality reduction).
CARE
The initial rapid and steady development should be helped by all means:
starter fertilization (P-dominant NPK), as base- or possibly foliage fertilizer
regular irrigation started in time and as necessary
(Initially with a lower water dose /10-15 mm/, but more often)
in the root switching period (3-5 leafs) in case of dry weather, irrigation is a must!
use cultivator with shallow settings (after irrigation or rain)
Dessert R72 is a very early maturing (1-2 days after Spirit) super sweet hybrid. Its seeds are usually strong in vigor with a strong initial development even in the case of early sowing. The plant is MDMV resistant, medium in stature, and has excellent root strength.
Despite maturing early, its productivity is outstanding: it is competitive with mid-seasonal varieties! Also suitable for intermittent sowing. It must be isolated from other types of varieties (eg Spirit)!
The threshed product of Dessert R72 is of a quality similar to that of Dessert 73.
Dessert R72 is a high-yielding super-sweet variety; for early, intermittent sowing
The features provided are somewhat subject to change depending on the particular production and weather conditions. Under some seasonal and growing conditions, kernel cracking can occur, especially in the case of over-maturity. The risk of this can be reduced by a steady supply of water.
