Good news. Monday I scouted for fields for bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) and today I got the results, all negative. The fields were located outside of Shippensburg, Mercersburg, New Franklin, and Chambersburg so they were from a broad area. I scouted only early plantings that had signs of bean leaf beetle feeding, so they were suceptible to BPMV. It would appear this is not a threat for now in our area. If you want to find out more about BPMV check out this information from Iowa State.
