Holland beans, is a genus of peas in the family Pterocarpaceae.

Holland beans, is an annual twining herbs, 90 to 180cm high, the whole plant green, smooth hairless, was pink frost.

Leaves with 4 to 6 leaflets, stipules larger than leaflets, leaf-shaped, heart-shaped, lower margin with fine teeth. Leaflets ovoid, 2 to 5 centimeters long, 1 to 2.5 centimeters wide, entire; stipules leaflike, ovate, base auriculate enclosing petiole.

Pods are long ellipsoid, 5 to 10 cm long, with a firm papery lining Ovary glabrous, styles flattened and bearded on the inner surface. Pods swollen, long ellipsoid, 2.5 to 10 cm long, 0.7 to 14 cm wide, obliquely acute apically, nearly straight back; 2 to 10 seeds, round, greenish, wrinkled or absent, drying to yellow. Flowering and fruiting April to May. Leaves even-pinnate, apical tendril a leaf tendril, stipules ovate. Flowers white or purplish-red, solitary or 1 to 3 arranged in racemose axils, with whiskers on the inside of the style, closed-pollinated, with butterfly-shaped petals.

The pods are long ellipsoid or flattened, and are divided into soft and hard pods according to the presence or absence of an inner leathery membrane and its thickness. Seeds can be round cylindrical, oval, oblate, concave-round, 2 to 10 per pod, mostly lime green, but also yellow and white, red, rose, brown, black and other color varieties. It can be divided into wrinkled skin and round grain according to the epidermis, which turns yellow after drying. A large number of lateral roots grow on the roots, and the main and lateral roots have rhizomes. Because of its diverse traits and closed pollination, Mendel used it as a crop for genetic factor experiments.

Growing Environment

Light Requirements

Holland bean is a long day plant. Most varieties flower early when light is extended and delayed when light is shortened, but some early maturing varieties have less stringent light requirements. General varieties in the podding period require strong light and longer sunshine, but should not be high temperature, suitable for planting in the spring and summer alternating period.

Moisture requirements

Dutch beans require more water throughout the growing period. During seed germination, if the soil moisture is insufficient, the seeds cannot absorb water and expand, which will greatly delay the seedling emergence period. The seedling stage can tolerate some dry climate. If the air humidity is too low during the flowering period, it will cause flower and pod drop. If high temperature and drought are encountered during the growth period of pods, it will make the pod fiber harden early and mature prematurely and reduce the quality and yield. Therefore, in the entire growth period of the Dutch beans, there must be an adequate supply of water in order to grow vigorously, pods full of large grains, quality and quantity. However, it is not tolerant of waterlogging, if the water is too large, it is easy to rot the seeds after sowing, easy to rot the roots in the seedling period, and easy to develop diseases during the growing period.

Soil conditions

Dutch beans on the soil requirements, although not strict, in the well-drained sandy loam or newly reclaimed land can be planted, but to loose neutral soil containing organic matter is preferred, in the pH 6.0 to 7.2 soil growth is appropriate. When the soil acidity is lower than ph5.5, it is easy to develop diseases and reduce the rate of pods, and lime should be added to improve the soil. Holland bean root system is deep, slightly drought-resistant and intolerant of moisture, sowing or seedling poor drainage is easy to rot the roots, flowering drought insemination is poor, easy to form empty pods or blighted pods. Holland bean taboo crop, generally at least 4 to 5 years crop rotation.

Cultivation and sowing time

Holland bean according to its stem growth habit can be divided into dwarf, orchid trailing and trailing three types. Yangtze River Basin, spring cultivation, sowing in mid to late February. Fall cultivation, sowing in mid to late August. Overwintering cultivation in late October ~ early November sowing. North of the general spring, summer harvest, can also be used in early spring and fall cultivation.

Main value

To eat the young pods mainly, bean young pods crisp and fragrant, high nutritional value.
