Large‐seeded (45 g 100 seed weight −1 ), high‐yielding, and high‐quality Hungerford (Reg. No. CV‐285, PI 653258) and Sawtooth (Reg. No. CV‐286, PI 653259) great northern dry bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars were developed at the University of Idaho‐Kimberly Agricultural Research and Extension Center. The Idaho Agricultural Experiment Station released Hungerford and Sawtooth on 12 Apr. 2007. Hungerford and Sawtooth are full‐season (95–100 d maturity) cultivars adapted to the western United States that have resistance to Bean common mosaic virus (an aphid‐vectored potyvirus) and rust [caused by Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Ung.]. Both also have moderate to high levels of resistance to heat, drought, and soil zinc deficiency and manganese toxicity.
