‘ND Redvelvet’ small red bean was released in 2026 by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. Developed from the cross SR9-4/'Rio Rojo', ND Redvelvet has demonstrated competitive agronomic performance compared to other small red varieties commonly grown in the region. It matures in approximately 101 days and offers improved intermediate resistance to common bacterial blight (CBB) and white mold, along with resistance to bean common mosaic virus (BCMV). ND Redvelvet also features a large, desirable seed size and a rich red color comparable to Merlot. Its canning quality falls within acceptable commercial standards. To help ensure genetic purity, 'ND Redvelvet' is protected under PVPA Title V (certificate No. pending) and must be sold as a class of certified seed.
