You may be able to use fungicides long enough to get a few seeds. Other than this, destroying everything is the best solution to ensure that everything is gone. If you can save beans, then let the soil sit for a season and try again.

These diseases can be pretty resilient.

This reminds me a lot of common bacterial blight, or even halo blight. Many blights, and fungal/bacterial infections can resemble each other, but many have similar treatment. Be sure to use proper sterile practice, such as cleaning your instruments and tools between cuts. The diseases can survive soil, weather, and can be carried by wind and animals, too.

Is there any way to stop the disease except to destroy the plant what the article says? Almost all plants are affected if i destroy them all its nothing left. Doesnt make much sense. For now I was cutting all leaves and stems that were heavily infected.
