Eclipses other black beans! An earlier and higher yielding version of the Black Turtle bean we all love, Eclipse has impressed nearly everyone by having all the flavor and color of the traditional Black Turtle but returning many more pounds of beans and maturing nearly a week earlier. Eclipse also resists rust, anthracnose, BCMV and shows tolerance to white mold. Upright plants are highly uniform, do not lodge and do a synchronous dry down. Released in 2004 by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station.
