Methods of control for white mold in pinto beans are crop rotation, at least a 30-inch row spacing, and, more recently, spraying benomyl at flowering. Pathologists and breeders have also suggested control by altering plant architecture, using a determinate or bush bean type, or employing genetic resistance.
