What to Do When It Rains Every Day While Planting Beans? These Methods You Must Master

1. How to Plant Beans When It Rains Every Day

When it rains every day, you cannot sow soybeans, otherwise the soil will be too wet, and the soybeans will rot in the soil and will not germinate and emerge at all. Moreover, when it rains every day, it will also cause soil compaction, and in some areas, due to soil erosion, some soybeans will be covered with too much soil and will be unable to break through the soil layer. Some soybeans will be washed out of the soil, and after the weather clears, the soybeans will be unable to absorb water, so the seeds cannot germinate smoothly.

Therefore, when it rains every day, it is best not to sow soybeans. Wait until the rain stops before sowing. If the soil is too wet, wait a few days before sowing. Also, before sowing after the rain, you can loosen the soil in the field to increase the soil's air permeability, which is more favorable for seed germination. In addition, if it only drizzles a little every day, it will not affect sowing soybeans. Making the soil slightly moist is even more favorable for soybean germination.

2. How to Sow Soybeans

Soybeans are usually sown from mid-to-late April to early May, that is, when the outdoor soil temperature reaches 8-10°C. Before sowing, prepare the land and apply fertilizer, make ridges and keep the soybean row spacing at 30-35cm, then dig holes on the ridges, keep the soybean plant spacing at 15-20cm, and make the holes about 3cm deep. Then bury the soybean seeds in the holes, backfill the soil and press it firm with your hands. If the soil is moist at sowing time, there is no need to water after sowing. If the soil is dry at sowing time, each hole needs to be watered with 2 ladles of clear water after sowing. After that, as the soybeans grow, cultivate and weed, apply additional fertilizer appropriately, and harvest after the soybeans mature.
