Agronomic and economic assessment of intensive pest management of dry bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

► Interaction of thiamethoxam, weed management and anthracnose controls in dry bean. ► Enhancement of plant growth by thiamethoxam seed treatment was minimal. ► Fungicide seed treatment reduced early season disease severity. ► Application date was crucial for the success of the foliar fungicides. ► Fungicide seed treatment x foliar fungicide produced the highest economic returns.
