3. What are the cultivation techniques for adzuki bean?

1. Land selection and preparation: What kind of soil is suitable for planting?

Adzuki bean is suitable for growing in an environment with loose and fertile soil, good drainage, and strong water and fertilizer retention capacity. Therefore, when selecting land, try to choose sandy soil with normal irrigation and drainage for planting. After selecting the land, deep-plow the soil and apply an appropriate amount of decomposed farmyard manure and compound fertilizer to improve soil fertility. It should be noted here that the land used for planting adzuki bean must not have previously grown leguminous plants. If it has, a new plot of land needs to be found to avoid causing pests and diseases.

2. Variety selection: What variety is good to choose?

The quality of the adzuki bean variety directly affects the later survival rate, so when selecting seeds, try to choose seeds that are undamaged and disease-free in appearance, large in grain, strong in disease resistance, and bright in color for planting.

3. Timely sowing: When is the best time to sow?

(1) Seed treatment: After selecting the seeds, place them in the sun to dry for about 3 days, then add chemicals such as Shilinshen to thoroughly disinfect and sterilize them.

(2) Sowing time: May to June.

(3) Sowing method: Sow the treated seeds into holes at a plant spacing of about 12 cm and a hole depth of about 4 cm, then slowly cover with soil and press the soil firmly.

4. Field management techniques: What are the requirements for water and fertilizer?

(1) Thinning and replanting: After the adzuki bean seedlings have grown evenly, thinning and replanting should be carried out according to the actual situation. Poor seedlings such as withered or stunted ones should be removed in time, and dense seedlings should be transplanted over to ensure uniform growth of all seedlings.

(2) Cultivation and weeding: After adzuki bean has grown for a period of time, timely cultivation and weeding should be carried out to ensure normal growth of adzuki bean. Generally, cultivation and weeding before flowering is best, and during the entire growth period, cultivation should be carried out 3-4 times. In the first cultivation after sowing, first deep and then shallow hilling of about 25 cm should be done; after the seedlings emerge evenly, hill about 25 cm again; in June, loosen the soil by 15 cm; and before flowering, loosen the soil by about 10 cm. In addition, in late July, ridge cultivation should be carried out 1-2 times in a timely manner to prevent drought, drain waterlogging, and prevent lodging.

(3) Reasonable fertilization: Adzuki bean does not have high fertilizer requirements, but this does not mean it does not need fertilizer. Generally, applying a potassium fertilizer solution once at the early flowering stage is best. At other times, whether to fertilize should be determined according to plant growth conditions.

(4) Reasonable watering: Adzuki bean does not have high water requirements. As long as the soil is kept moist, it is fine, but do not apply too much water, so as to avoid water accumulation that hinders plant growth.

(5) Pest and disease control: During the growth period of adzuki bean, pests and diseases such as powdery mildew, damping-off, and red spider mite may occur, so preventive measures should be taken in advance. For plants affected by diseases and pests, specialized chemicals can be used for control.

Overall, the market price of adzuki bean is not expensive. Generally, one jin can be bought for about 3-6 yuan, but due to differences in market and selling time, the price will vary, so when purchasing, try to check the local market. In addition, adzuki bean is easy to grow. As long as basic management work such as water and fertilizer management, cultivation and weeding, and pest and disease control is done well, high yields can be achieved easily.
