Analysis of Planting Density and Per-Mu Returns for Winged Beans
The winged bean has many names, such as four-angled bean, winged bean, dragon bean, tropical soybean, and so on. Because it looks like a four-sided pillar, and its edges are rather wrinkled, like wings, it is also called wing bean and winged bean. Aren't these names quite vivid? If you are going to plant it, how much should be planted per mu? Follow along with the editor below to find out.
How many winged bean plants can be planted per mu
The number of winged beans planted per mu depends on the number of seedlings you transplant, and of course on your spacing. If the spacing between your seedlings is relatively wide, the number will naturally decrease; however, if the spacing is relatively narrow, the number of plants per mu will be much higher. But this spacing should ideally be appropriate. If it is too wide, weeds will grow; if it is too narrow, direct sunlight cannot reach the plants, which will cause poor development of the winged beans. Therefore, generally about six jin of seeds per mu, which is roughly just over 300 plants.
How much money can one mu of winged beans earn
The yield from one mu is about two thousand kilograms, and the current national average price is no less than five yuan per kilogram. In summary, it can be seen that the income from one mu of land is about ten thousand yuan. After subtracting some costs and labor, it can be seen that the profit is between 3000 and 5000 yuan, so one mu can earn a profit of 3000 to 5000 yuan.
Field management of winged bean fields
1. Thinning and replanting seedlings: When sowing, seedlings generally sprout in 7 to 8 days. At this time, you need to check the condition of the seedlings at any time and replant as needed, thereby ensuring a full stand. When the seedlings have grown 7 to 8 leaves, thinning is needed to keep the higher-quality young seedlings, with two plants occupying one hill.
2. Earthing up: Its seedlings grow relatively slowly, so frequent weeding is needed, followed by earthing up. During this process, be careful not to damage the roots. During the final cultivation, earthing up is also needed, maintaining a depth of 15 to 20 cm.
3. Fertilizer and water management: Nutrition during the seedling stage is very important. To promote vigorous growth, fertilizer should be added, roughly 150 kg of urea per hectare. If it grows too luxuriantly, do not add fertilizer, otherwise it will cause excessive nutrition and easily cause the stems and leaves to grow outward. If you want it to flower, you also need to add 450 kg of calcium phosphate, that is, 7500 kg of plant ash.
4. Building a trellis: After 30-40 days of planting, a trellis should be set up. Bamboo poles or wooden sticks can be used, with a height of more than 15 m.
The winged bean is a vegetable, and people should eat more vegetables to benefit their health, so every season of every year is a peak season for vegetables. Modern people's demand for vegetables is increasing, and their requirements are also getting higher and higher. A nutritious vegetable like the winged bean still has a very good market, so everyone can plant it.
