A Detailed Guide to the Three Common Varieties of Winged Bean and Their Seedling Cultivation Methods
In rural areas, people often grow a lot ofvegetables, and once they mature they can eat seasonal dishes. Winged bean is welcomed by most people, so next the editor will give you a detailed introduction to its three common varieties and seedling cultivation methods. Friends who want to know, hurry up and read the article below!
I. The three common varieties of winged bean
1. Early-maturing Winged Bean 833
An early-maturing new line bred by the South China Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, from early-maturing variant plants selected from the winged bean variety "H45" introduced from Australia. It has good economic traits, an early maturity period and wide adaptability. Its flowering period is relatively early, 63 days earlier than that of the parent, and the maturity period is correspondingly earlier. The vine is 4-6 m long, with alternate leaves, broadly ovate to broadly rhombic. The stem and Dt are green, and at a plant height of 30 cm the main stem leaves bear... inflorescences, which are racemes, with a blue corolla. The pod is four-angled, the tender pod green, and the mature pod dark brown. The seeds are nearly round, with a slightly protruding hilum. The seed coat is cream-colored. The pod is 16-27 mm long. The number of seeds per pod is 8 to 14, the seed weight per pod is 2.8-3.2 g, and the 100-seed weight is 31 g. The root system near the ground can enlarge into tubers. This variety has characteristics such as strong nitrogen fixation ability, resistance to viral diseases, a low required effective accumulated temperature and insensitivity to light, and is currently a variety successfully planted north of the plant's native humid subtropical region.
2. Guifeng No. 1
An extremely early-maturing variety selected by Guangxi Agricultural University from the winged bean line "K Ms-12" introduced from abroad. The main vine is about 3 m long, with 3-6 side vines. It is suitable for dense planting cultivation, with 400 to 6000 plants per 667 sq m. The pods are flat, thick and fleshy, and not prone to fiber aging. The tender pods are pale green, with an average of 9 seeds per pod; the mature seeds are dark gray, with a 100-seed weight of 26 g. The node where the first inflorescence is borne is only node 1-6.
3. Guiai
A natural mutant "K Ms-101" line selected by Guangxi Agricultural University from the climbing winged bean line "K M-8", a dwarf variety with good economic traits that does not require trellising. Guiai is a determinate growth type variety that self-tops, with strong branching ability; the plant is bushy, and after the main vine grows 11-13 true leaves, its terminal bud differentiates into a flower bud and self-tops. The main vine is about 80 cm long, but the internodes from the first to the ninth node of the main vine are short, accounting for only about 1/4 of the main vine length. After the branch vines grow 3-6 leaves, their terminal buds also differentiate into flower buds and self-top. The axillary buds of each stem node of the main vine, branch vines and secondary branch vines can all differentiate into flower buds and bloom. The flowers are axillary racemes, each inflorescence with 2-8 florets, and the corolla is pale purple. The tender pods are green with a slight yellow tinge, 18 cm long, and the pod cross-section is square. The number of pods per plant is about 45. The mature pods are dark brown, and the seed coat is yellow-brown to brown. The root system is well developed, the fibrous roots can bear a large number of root nodules, and the root system can expand into thick tubers. Per 667 sq m, it can produce more than 1100 g of tender pods, about 247 kg of mature seeds, and about 95 kg of tubers.
II. Seedling cultivation methods for winged bean
Sowing and seedling cultivation: winged bean mostly uses seed seedling propagation, and stem cuttings and tubers can also be used as propagation materials; in the Yangtze River basin region, seedlings are raised in hotbeds or nutritional pots from the end of March to the beginning of April, and can be transplanted for planting in early to mid-April.
Alright, that is all for what the editor wants to share with you today. I wonder if you like eating winged bean as a dish? Anyway, the editor quite likes eating it. The three common varieties mentioned above also taste pretty good. If you are also planning to grow them, you can learn the seedling cultivation methods above!
