Kidney bean seed germination time
Sowing period: Kidney beans can be sown in both spring and autumn. In spring, they can be sown around March, and in autumn, they can be sown in mid-to-late August. How long does it take to sprout: Kidney beans usually sprout about 5-6 days after sowing. If they are given proper temperature and water and fertilizer management, they can germinate faster. Market price: The market price of kidney bean seeds is about 50 yuan to 80 yuan per pound. The seed prices will vary in different regions.
Kidney bean seeds can be planted directly
Kidney bean seeds cannot be planted directly. Before sowing, the seeds must be soaked and germinated before planting, otherwise the germination rate will be reduced.
Kidney bean seeds germinate quickly
Soak kidney beans in warm water below 30 degrees for 5-12 hours before sowing. Then, wrap the seeds in a wet towel to speed up germination. After 24 hours, they are sown in the soil, which will speed up germination.
Kidney bean seeds bloom after they germinate
Kidney bean seeds generally bloom about 25-35 days after they germinate. Kidney beans are a temperature-loving vegetable and cannot tolerate high temperatures or heat. When planting, the temperature is best controlled at 15-25 degrees, but not higher than 30 degrees.
Care for kidney bean seeds after germination
After kidney bean seeds germinate, they should be properly pruned and topped, and the side buds below the first inflorescence should be smoothed. The side branches in the middle and upper parts need to be topped after the flower buds are seen, and the main vines should be topped in time to stimulate the rapid growth of kidney bean side vines.
