Why can't kidney beans be watered during the flowering period? Please explain the reasons."Dry flowers, wet pods" is the key point of kidney bean flowering period management. That is to say, before kidney beans flower, water control should be the main approach. If the soil moisture is good, water only once about 10 days before flowering to provide what is needed for flowering, and then wait until the pods set and grow to about 4 cm before watering again. If too much water is applied before flowering, excessive soil moisture can easily cause the plants to grow excessively and lead to flower and pod drop, and the flower and pod drop on Master Pan's kidney beans was caused precisely by too much watering.
However, water control should not be excessive either. Soil drought can likewise lead to poor flower bud differentiation in kidney beans and cause flower and pod drop. Therefore, when the soil is too dry, a light watering should be used to supplement the water needed for plant growth and development, so as to avoid flower and pod drop. If vegetable growers cannot judge the watering amount well, it is better to use a sprayer to irrigate the roots, with about half a jin of water per plant, and then when the kidney bean pods grow to about 4 cm, water again to supplement moisture.
