A complex of bacterial pathogens and their diseases affect bean productivity. Each is favored by high moisture situations and factors such as storms, equipment, and irrigation water which move the pathogens within and between fields. Varying daily temperature conditions favor each disease: halo blight—less than 80° F; bacterial brown spot—less than 85° F; common bacterial blight and bacterial wilt greater than 80° F.
