White kidney beans are rich in nutrients and have high protein content. They are one of the foods that many people like to eat, so most people don’t know what conditions are needed for white kidney bean cultivation? Here is what I have shared with you about white kidney bean cultivation. Let’s take a look at the conditions!

White kidney bean planting conditions

1. Temperature: Kidney beans are relatively cold-tolerant and avoid high temperatures. They will only be frozen when the temperature is lower than 5°C and will suffer frost. The above ground part dies. Growth and development require a frost-free period of more than 120 days. The optimal germination temperature is 20-25°C, and the suitable growth temperature is 18-20°C. It is difficult to pollinate and set fruit when it is higher than 30°C or lower than 15°C.

2. Light: It is a cross-pollination, short-day crop and likes full sunlight. The shorter the daylight hours and the sufficient sunshine, the earlier the kidney beans will bloom, form pods, and mature. On the contrary, if the sunshine is prolonged and the sunlight is insufficient, the kidney beans will take longer to bloom, form pods, and mature, and the branches and leaves will become elongated, and they may even fail to bloom and form pods.

3. Moisture: During the entire growth period, kidney beans require relatively sufficient and uniform moisture. The flowering and pod-bearing period is the period when the most water is needed, which is the critical period of water demand. If there is a lack of water at this time, the yield will be greatly affected.

Methods of planting white kidney beans

1. The principle of annual income should be implemented when planting white kidney beans in the current year. It requires a reasonable layout of one village and one product, and the use of fields with certain fertility conditions for planting to ensure the production of white kidney beans. The yield and quality of kidney beans ensure a gross income of more than 600 yuan per mu.

①. Adhere to scientific planting methods and avoid extensive planting.

②. White kidney beans are a high-fertility crop. The planting site should be a land with loose soil, good drainage, deep soil layer, good light, pH value of 6 to 7, and medium-to-high fertility. It is best to use On rotational land, if there are previous crops, the previous crops should be potatoes, buckwheat, wheat, corn, green manure, etc. White kidney beans are not suitable for continuous cropping and low-lying planting.

③. Fertilization of white kidney beans should be mainly organic fertilizers. According to soil fertility, decomposed high-quality farmyard manure should be applied during land preparation, 1500-2000 kilograms per mu, and 1000-1500 kilograms of plant ash per mu, or 1 kilogram of biological potassium fertilizer per mu and 50 kilograms of calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer per mu are mixed as base fertilizer. It is not suitable to use superphosphate and other chemical fertilizers. Borax should be used appropriately.

④. White kidney beans are mainly used as a single crop. They can also be intercropped or intercropped with potatoes, corns, sunflowers, etc., with a net weight of 1.3 meters and an open moisture content of 65 cm between rows and 60 cm between plants. Sow 1100 acres per mu. The number of plants should reach 2800-3300.

⑤. Seeds should be selected from those harvested in the early stages of growth. They must be large, plump and disease-free. They should be sun-dried for 1 to 2 days before sowing to break seed dormancy and ensure neat emergence.

⑥. Select an appropriate sowing period due to variety types and regional differences. Generally, early March to mid-April is appropriate. The sowing depth is 2.5 to 4.0 cm. In order to enhance the drought resistance of the plants, sowing can be appropriately deep ( 4 to 5 cm), in order to prevent underground pests, pesticide seed dressing should be carried out before sowing.

2. Strengthen field management during the growth period

① Apply top dressing in dry season and do a good job in cultivating management. White kidney beans require a large amount of fertilizer. When the seedling height is 20 to 30 cm, the soil should be loosened, weeded, and soiled to raise ditches in time. At the same time, 20 to 30 kg of ammonium bicarbonate should be applied per acre as seedling fertilizer. From the first to full flowering period, 20 to 30 kg of ammonium bicarbonate should be applied per acre. 1 kg of potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 0.2 kg of borax are sprayed on the leaves to increase the pod setting rate and gloss, promote the fullness of the powder, and have a good effect on increasing the yield.

②. Timely set up the frame and organize the plant type: 30 cm of white kidney beans are unearthed. The poles and vines should be inserted and put on the shelves in time to achieve one pole per pond. The height of the pole should be more than 2 meters. White kidney beans like light. During the flowering period, some side branches and bottom leaves should be cut off to avoid shading each other and affecting the pod setting rate. Generally, the top of the plant must be capped when it is 2.5 meters high, so that nutrients can be supplied to the pods in a concentrated manner to promote fullness and maturity of the seeds.

③. The lower leaves of white kidney beans begin to fall off, and the pods are picked in batches from bottom to top when they are yellowish brown.

④. Pests and diseases: The most common diseases of white kidney beans are anthracnose and leaf spot, and the pests are cutworms and aphids. They should be treated early, at a small scale, and finally.

⑤ Storage: After harvesting, kidney beans should be dried in time, stored with pods, and threshed before sale. This will help protect the color of the seeds and make the seeds less likely to wrinkle or crack. During storage and sales At this time, the seed moisture content should be reduced to below 13%. Under normal storage conditions, the life of white kidney bean seeds is 3 to 4 years. White kidney bean planting knowledge

1. Select good varieties and sow them early and at the right time. Block selection and plant selection should be carried out before harvesting. Select seeds that mature early, have more pods, and have good yield performance. Single harvesting Store. Before sowing, conduct seed selection to select seeds that are plump and pure, free from pests and diseases, and free from mildew. The sowing period for mountainous areas is from late Qingming to Grain Rain, while for mid-mountainous areas, Grain Rain is suitable. If sowing too late, the growth period will be short and the yield will not be high. In mountainous areas without important conditions for irrigation, three-dry sowing can be adopted, that is, soil drying, manure drying, and seed drying to wait for rain for seedlings to emerge. Seedling transplanting can also be used.

2. Land preparation and fertilization, reasonable dense planting, plow and prepare the land promptly after harvest, and apply 1,000 to 2,000 kilograms of farmyard manure and 30-50 kilograms of compound fertilizer as base fertilizer. It can also be applied intensively. In places with high groundwater levels, high borders or ridges can be made, with a width of 2-3 meters, a ridge width of 80-100 centimeters, and a plant spacing of 30-40 centimeters. 2-3 seeds can be sown in each pond, and the number of ponds per mu is 1600-2200.

3. Film covering to strive for full seedlings Film covering cultivation should select terraces or gentle slopes with medium fertility and nocturnal tides. After preparing the soil and applying enough base fertilizer, open the soil according to the width of the film. It is required that the border is flat, the soil is fine, and the membrane must be tightened, tightly covered, and compacted. More than 10 days after sowing, when more than 50% of the seedlings are unearthed, break the membrane in time to help the seedlings emerge. Late membrane rupture will easily burn the seedlings. After breaking the membrane, seal it with fine soil to prevent cold wind from intruding to ensure the temperature and humidity inside the membrane. .The membrane rupture work is best carried out in the afternoon.

4. Cultivating, weeding, watching seedlings and fertilizing. The soil is easy to compact after rain. After the seedlings emerge, the soil should be loosened in time. Before putting on the shelves, the drainage ditch should be cleaned and soil should be cultivated to prevent falling. In addition to applying sufficient base fertilizer, top-dressing fertilizer should also be applied in a timely manner based on plant growth and soil moisture. The top dressing time should be during the early flowering and pod-bearing stages. Use 10-15 kg of urea per acre, mix with 20-30 kg of calcium chloride, or use 20 kg of compound fertilizer. Apply to the hole in the pond when the soil is wet after rain, and cover it after application. Be careful not to touch the soil with the roots to prevent burning of the seedlings.
