When can autumn beans be planted?

Kidney beans can be sown on a large scale in China. This is a short-day plant that is relatively cold-resistant and light-loving. The suitable temperature for its growth is 15-25 degrees Celsius, and the most suitable temperature for flowering and pod formation is 20-25 degrees Celsius. When the temperature is lower than 10 degrees Celsius or higher than 30 degrees Celsius, it will affect its normal growth, especially flowering and pollination.

Therefore, in the northwest and northeast regions of the country, cultivation is mainly carried out in spring and summer, while in North China, the Yangtze River Basin and South China, sowing can be carried out in spring or autumn.

What should I pay attention to when planting autumn kidney beans?

1. Variety selection

Before sowing autumn beans, you should give priority to varieties that have strong flowering ability and are cold-resistant and moisture-resistant. Good varieties will save you a lot of trouble in later management, and are also the key to high yield.

2. Selection of planting site

When planting autumn beans, it is recommended to choose soil with a relatively deep soil layer, good drainage, and moderate pH. It is best to choose sandy loam that has not been planted with legumes in the past two years.

3. It is best to plant on sunny days

It is best to plant autumn kidney beans on a sunny day, and water the rows thoroughly before sowing. Do not water them for two or three days after sowing, and water them in time when they emerge. Of course, in terms of later management, the main water and fertilizers need to keep up, especially during the flowering period of autumn kidney beans, more watering is needed.

How to pinch the tips of kidney beans in greenhouse

The first time, when the kidney beans climb to a height of 1 or 2 meters, the growth point is removed to allow them to grow strong, cultivate strong plants, and promote the increase of lower flower buds.

The second topping is to remove the second growth point when the kidney beans grow to a human height (more than 1.7 meters). This topping has a great impact on the kidney bean yield, which can increase the yield by more than 30%.

The third time of topping is when the beans have reached the height of your hand (2 meters). At this time, the lower beans have bloomed and borne fruit. This time, pinching the tip can effectively prevent the flowers and fruits from falling and ensure the efficient output of beans.
