IDAPA 02.06.06
Bean growers.
This rule governs the planting of beans in Idaho. Idaho is known as a producer of high quality dry and garden bean seed, due largely in part to our geographic isolation from other bean production areas in the country. In order to ensure protection from pests and disease, the industry pushed for a rule to regulate Phaseolus species in the 1960s, and non-Phaseolus species in 2014. These rules were negotiated and amended as needed over time as the industry evolved, including combining both rules into a single rule in 2019.
In simple terms, the rule requires the planting of seed that is certified and tagged under certain conditions, and outlines the requirements that must be made to certify and tag bean seed. In addition, the rule outlines certain requirements and processes for field inspection of lots for certification. Finally, the rule outlines certain requirements and authorities of the department when certain regulated pests are found during growing season and windrow inspections.
This rule implements the following statutes passed by the Idaho Legislature:
