Agrinto pinto bean

Agrinto is a tall, partially upright pinto bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), with short vines, average seed weight of 340 mg, which was developed at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Research Centre, Lethbridge, AB, in collaboration with the AAFC Research Station, Morden, MB. Agrinto is well adapted to wide-row irrigated production of the Canadian prairies, with yields comparable to the check cultivar, Othello. Agrinto is resistant to both yellow and orange strains of the bacterial wilt, caused by Curtobacterium flaccumfasciens pv. flaccumfasciens (Hedges) Collins & Jones. Agrinto is resistant to race 73 of anthracnose [caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. & Magnus) Lams.-Scrib] and is moderately resistant to white mould [caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary].
