'ND Pink-Slipper' light red kidney bean (ND151660)

Released in 2026 by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, ‘ND Pink-Slipper’ light red kidney (LRK) bean combines strong agronomic performance with excellent seed quality. Originating from the cross 'Clouseau'/'Rosie', it has performed competitively with other LRK varieties commonly grown in the region while maturing in approximately 94 days—about 10 days earlier than Rosie.

‘ND Pink-Slipper’ offers intermediate resistance to common bacterial blight (CBB), root rot, and white mold, along with resistance to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). It also stands out for its excellent seed shape and color, while maintaining seed yields comparable to other leading light red kidney bean varieties.

To help ensure genetic purity, 'ND Pink-Slipper' is protected under PVPA Title V (certificate No. pending) and must be sold as a class of certified seed.
