When is the best time to plant pole bean "Jiadouwang"?

Jiadouwang pole beans can be planted in both spring and autumn, but they are generally planted in late March in spring. Before planting, be sure to soak the seeds in a diluted fungicide solution for two to three hours, then remove them, rinse them clean with water, and then sow.

How to grow Jiadouwang pole beans:

1. Land preparation

When planting Jiadouwang pole beans, choose soil with good drainage and rich fertility. Before preparing the land, apply a base fertilizer first. For the base fertilizer, you can mainly use fully decomposed farmyard manure plus an appropriate amount of chemical fertilizer. After fertilizing, deeply plow the soil and level it, then make beds. Generally the beds are 1.2 m wide, 6 cm high, and spaced 70 cm apart.

2. Planting

First soak the seeds in a diluted fungicide for 2-3 hours, which can effectively kill residual pathogens, then rinse them clean with fresh water before sowing. Two rows can be sown per bed, with 40 cm between rows and 30 cm between plants, placing 3 seeds per hole. If the temperature is too low at sowing time, cover with plastic film.

3. Fertilizing and watering

Too much water and fertilizer during the seedling stage of Jiadouwang pole beans can easily cause root rot, so water and fertilizer should be controlled at the seedling stage. During the vine-running stage of Jiadouwang pole beans, fertilize and water once along with intertillage, which can promote vine growth and flower bud differentiation. During flowering and fruiting, Jiadouwang pole beans need a large amount of water and nutrients, so fertilizing at this time should generally be combined with irrigation. After flowering, Jiadouwang pole beans enter the pod-setting stage, when the nutrients they need are consumed quickly, so at this time the soil should be kept moist while applying less nitrogen fertilizer, or you can also spray trace elements such as iron and zinc to supplement leaf nutrients. In the late growth stage of Jiadouwang pole beans, if the plants have not declined prematurely, you can appropriately apply additional fertilizer 1-2 times to promote the plants to produce new flowers, extend the harvest period, and increase yield.

4. Staking

When Jiadouwang pole beans begin to send out vines, you can use bamboo poles to set up a trellis. Build the bamboo poles into a herringbone shape, and guide the vines while setting up the trellis so that the Jiadouwang pole beans grow upward along the poles.

5. Pest and disease control

Common pests and diseases of Jiadouwang pole beans include bean pod borer, spider mites, rust, gray mold, root rot, and so on. Spray for control during the peak period of disease occurrence, and spray in time at the early stage of disease to prevent the spread of pathogens.

The above is an introduction to the planting time of Jiadouwang pole beans. We hope it is helpful to everyone.
