How to Grow Bush Green Beans: What Season (Which Month) to Plant Bush Green Beans
SummarySeed selection: Because green beans have a relatively short growing period, it is best to choose excellent early-maturing, high-yielding varieties. Fertilizing: Apply decomposed organic fertilizer as the base fertilizer; if the soil is acidic, also add an appropriate amount of lime to the soil. Sowing: Choose New High-Fat Film seed dressing, which can increase its germination rate, with 2-3 plants per hole. Water spraying: During high temperatures, be sure to spray water in an appropriate amount to keep the soil moist.
Green beans are a relatively well-known vegetable, slender in shape and generally green. Green beans are nutritious and have high edible value. At present, many people in our country grow green beans, but they generally use traditional growing methods. In fact, besides these, green beans can also be grown using the bush method. Let us learn about it together below!
How to Grow Bush Green Beans
1. Compared with growing ordinary green beans, growing bush green beans is not more difficult. The first step in growing bush green beans is to do a good job of site selection and land preparation. Because this vegetable, green beans, has a relatively short growing period, it is best to choose excellent early-maturing, high-yielding varieties that are more heat-tolerant, disease-resistant, highly adaptable, and whose response to photoperiod belongs to the intermediate type or short-day type, and which also bear pods relatively concentratedly with a relatively high pod-setting rate. Such excellent varieties need to be purchased from a local seed company. For the base fertilizer, generally apply decomposed organic fertilizer, about 3000 kg/mu, calcium superphosphate 40 kg/mu, potassium sulfate 10 kg/mu. Do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer. If the local soil is acidic, then also add an appropriate amount of lime to the land.
2. After the base fertilizing is done, it is time to sow the green beans. We can choose New High-Fat Film seed dressing, which can increase its germination rate. Plan the bed width at 130 cm (including the ditch), plant 2 rows, with a plant spacing of 30-35 cm. Direct sowing, replace with plastic film. 2-3 plants per hole. Plant according to this standard.
3. Fertilizing and water spraying for green beans are also very important parts of the whole growing process. During growth, water and fertilize reasonably according to the needs of the plants. For topdressing, follow the principle of applying less before flowering, more after flowering, and heavily during the peak pod-setting period, from light to concentrated, generally 4 times. During high temperatures, be sure to spray water in an appropriate amount to keep the soil moist.
4. During the growth of green beans, we should observe their growth trend from time to time. When the green beans begin to produce vines, start using trellises to guide the vines. Build the trellis in a herringbone shape to facilitate ventilation and light transmission and promote flowering and pod setting. Guiding the vines onto the trellis is best done in the afternoon to avoid the vines being easily broken due to high water content. Spray Caiguo Zhuangdiling at the appropriate time to enhance the pollen fertilization quality of fruit vegetables, strengthen the cyclic fruit-setting rate, and promote fruit development, with no deformities, no empty shells, and no shriveled grains. In this way, its quality can be better, the yield higher, and the green beans produced more acceptable to the public for purchase.
What Season (Which Month) to Plant Bush Green Beans
Bush green beans are the same as ordinary green beans. In spring, they are generally sown from February to April, and in autumn they are sown from August to September. In the Northeast region, the sowing date is slightly delayed by 1-2 months, from late April to mid-May. In most areas of the Northwest and North China, it is in April. In the northern plateau region, it is in early May. In the East China region, it is slightly later by half a month, from late March to early April. In most areas of Central China and Southwest China, it is from late February to early March. So the sowing season is also different in each place.
When growing bush green beans, it is necessary to do a good job of site selection, and then plant at the appropriate time. After planting, management also needs to be strengthened. Work such as fertilizer and water management and disease control must be done well so that they can grow well. There are some detailed introductions above, and we hope they can be helpful to everyone.
