A detailed explanation of the cultivation methods and key technical points for hyacinth beans
The hyacinth bean is a plant in the legume family. It looks similar to the lentil, and many people also think that the hyacinth bean is the lentil. In fact, there are still some differences between the hyacinth bean and the lentil. The hyacinth bean is very rich and comprehensive in nutrients. It contains protein, fat, and various trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus, making it a vegetable with relatively high nutritional value. So how should hyacinth beans be planted? Below, the editor brings you the cultivation methods for hyacinth beans. Let's take a look together!
1. Site selection and land preparation
First, we need to choose soil suitable for the growth of hyacinth beans. Hyacinth beans have higher yields and grow better on plots with rich humus, moderate light, and a warm climate. After choosing the land, we should prepare the land in time. When preparing the land, remove the weeds from the soil and carry out the work together with fertilization. The base fertilizer should use fully decomposed farmyard manure. When fertilizing, water along with it to dilute the fertilizer, promote the soil's nutrient absorption, and improve the soil's moisture condition. Then dig the planting holes and control the spacing between each planting hole well to prevent overly dense planting.
2. Seed selection and sowing
After preparing the land, select seeds that are disease-free and harmless, with no obvious traces of insect feeding. Because hyacinth bean seeds have a relatively high germination rate, it is not necessary to carry out sprouting work. Simply mix the seeds with new high-fat film to isolate pathogens, improve the seeds' disease resistance, strengthen the seeds' respiration, and not affect the seeds' nutrient absorption and germination, which can increase the germination rate. Then sow in suitable weather. The best weather for sowing hyacinth beans should be a sunny day after Grain Rain. Place 2-4 seeds in each planting hole. You can choose direct sowing or transplanting, depending on your own planting habits and planting methods.
3. Water and fertilizer management
During the seedling stage of hyacinth beans, strengthen topdressing management, control the ratio of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium well, and improve soil moisture according to actual conditions. Also, when the plants begin to branch, you can appropriately spray growth regulators such as Flower Promoting King to prevent excessive growth of the main shoot, promote flower bud differentiation, and increase the flowering and fruit-setting rate. When hyacinth beans enter the flowering and fruiting stage, appropriately spray Zhuangdiling before flowering to improve the quality of the flowers and flower calyxes and the pollination and fertilization rate. Promote the development of pods and reduce the rate of empty shells and shriveled grains, and at this stage, increase the frequency of watering and fertilizing and increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.
4. Pest and disease control
Hyacinth beans have relatively strong disease resistance, so the incidence rate is low, but they will still suffer from some insect pests, such as aphids and cabbage webworms. When planting, prepare commonly used pesticides, spray pesticides regularly, and do a good job in pest control. When spraying pesticides, pay attention to fully diluting the pesticides to prevent the concentration from being too high and burning the plants, thereby inhibiting plant growth. Moreover, if hyacinth beans are in a humid environment for a long time, diseases such as downy mildew will also occur. After the disease occurs, control it in time. Using specially targeted disease control pesticides on the market is sufficient.
The main focus of pest and disease control work is still prevention. Strengthen field management and clean up diseased and residual branches and diseased plants in the field. Try to avoid using pesticides, because they will more or less still have a certain impact on the plants and also pose hidden harm to the human body. That is all for today's introduction.
