Introduction
Dry bean root rot is caused by a fungal complex mostly including Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli, in association with Rhizoctonia solani, F. oxysporum, Phythium spp., among others. Root rots are an increasing problem in Minnesota, the largest producer of kidney beans in the U.S. Root rot can reduce seed yield up to 100% under severe disease pressure (Schwartz, 2014). Large seeded-cultivars planted in the area are especially susceptible to the Fusarium root rot complex when conditions are favorable. F. solani is the primary pathogen involved in bean root rot in Minnesota (Estevez de Jensen, 1998), and few sources of resistance exist, especially within the Andean Gene Pool. The objective of this study was to evaluate the reaction of a set of Andean genotypes to the root rot complex in the field.

Materials and methods
A total of 310 genotypes from the Andean Diversity Panel (ADP) (Cichy et al., 2015) were screened at Perham, MN in 2013. From those, 45 genotypes were photoperiod-sensitive or did not complete the production cycle. Remnant 265 genotypes were screened again in 2014 in two trials separated by days to maturity. The early maturity trial consisted of 144 genotypes, and the late maturity trial of 121 genotypes. Six common checks, one resistant, two intermediate, and three susceptible were used.  The early and late maturity trials were planted in a 12 x 12 and 11 x 11 alpha-lattice design with two replications per trial. Root rot disease severity was determined on a scale 1-9 (1= healthy, 9= dead plant) at flowering stage (R6) using four plants per plot, evaluating individually and computing the average. In addition to root rot, seed size and seed yield were also measured. Resistant genotypes were considered those ranging from 1 to 3, intermediate from 4 to 6, and susceptible from 1 to 9.

Results
Plant samples collected in the field allowed to confirm that the most abundant pathogen was F. solani. In the early trial there were significant differences (P<0.05) among genotypes for Fusarium root rot. Using Least Square Means, 23 genotypes are in the range 1 to 3, 102 in the range 4 to 6, and 19 in the range 7 to 9. VAX 3 was resistant, Talon and Dynasty were intermediate, Montcalm, Cabernet, GTS-104 were susceptible as expected. The average 5 and the reaction of the checks suggest high disease pressure in the field. Table 1 shows the top 10 resistant and high seed yield early and late genotypes in addition to the checks. In the late trial there were also significant differences (P<0.1) among genotypes for Fusarium root rot. Using Least Square Means, 21 genotypes are in the range 1 to 3, 62 in the range 4 to 6, and 38 in the range 7 to 9. The average 5 and similar reaction of the checks (compared to early trial) suggest high disease pressure in the field. A subset of contrasting genotypes will be evaluated again in the field in order to confirm results.
