How to manage hyacinth beans during the flowering period? A detailed guide to the latest methods
The hyacinth bean is a relatively popular legume vegetable in our daily lives. It has a very wide planting area in our country, and when growing hyacinth beans, management is very important. The growth stages of hyacinth beans differ, and the management methods also vary. Therefore, we need to reasonably adjust the management methods according to the growth stage of the hyacinth bean. So how should it be managed during the flowering period? Below, the editor will give you a brief introduction. Let's take a look together!
1. Temperature management
The temperature during the flowering period of hyacinth beans is the first thing we need to pay more attention to. At this time, a suitable temperature should be maintained to avoid excessively high temperatures. During the flowering and pod-setting period of hyacinth beans, the suitable temperature is generally around 18-25 degrees, and it is best to keep it at around 20 degrees. If it exceeds the range of 16-27, it will have a great impact on the flowering and pod-setting of hyacinth beans, and flower and pod drop is likely to occur. If it exceeds 32 degrees, it will also cause great harm to the quality of the tender pods. Therefore, when the temperature is too high, it should be cooled in time, and when it is too low, insulation work should be done well.

During the early flowering period and fruit setting of hyacinth beans, water and fertilizer should be well controlled, and it is best not to water or fertilize. Wait until the flower clusters have set pods, then begin water and fertilizer work. If it is cultivated with plastic film mulching, then dark water should be poured under the film. Apply quick-acting fertilizer with the water. Among them, nitrogen fertilizer should mainly be nitrate nitrogen, and ammonia nitrogen should not be used, otherwise it will inhibit the growth of the plants. Therefore, when topdressing flower and pod fertilizer, we should apply more fertilizers such as urea and human manure. Then, water management measures should also be reasonably adjusted according to the pod-setting positions of the flower clusters.
When the lower flower clusters set pods, water and fertilize generally once about every half a month, with compound fertilizer or farmyard manure as the main fertilizer. When the middle flower clusters set pods, water and fertilize generally once every 10 days. The fertilizer is mainly urea. Then during the flowering and pod-setting period of the upper flower clusters and when the side branches set pods, it is generally also once about every 10 days. After the middle and late pod-setting stages, the permeability of the field should be improved, and the old yellow leaves on the plants should be removed. Then thin out the overly dense leaves and some young shoots that sprout too late.
3. Timely harvesting
After hyacinth beans enter the flowering period, they can basically be harvested after a period of time. The best time to harvest the pods should be about half a month after flowering, because at this time the pods are the longest and heaviest. It is also the time when the quality for vegetable use is the best. Generally, there are about 9 flower buds on one flower cluster, while only about 4 will flower and set pods. Therefore, when harvesting, we should pay attention to protecting these flower buds. When the first batch of pods is picked, these flower buds will begin to develop faster and carry out the second batch of pod setting.
The above is a brief introduction on how to manage hyacinth beans during the flowering period. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
