Spring is a good time to plant kidney beans. Not only is the temperature suitable, but also the sun is abundant, which provides good conditions for the growth of kidney beans. However, for people who want to grow kidney beans, how can they choose the right time and master the right cultivation techniques? Below we will give a detailed introduction to the entire process of spring kidney bean planting.
1. Determine the planting time 1. What is the most suitable time to plant?
It is best to plant kidney beans in spring from the end of March to the beginning of April, when the local soil temperature reaches above 10℃ and the air temperature stabilizes above 10℃.
2. How to know the local temperature?
You can learn about the local temperature by consulting the Meteorological Bureau data or installing weather forecast software, so as to choose the right time for kidney bean planting.
2. Select good land and fertilize fertilizer. 3. Choose the right soil type.
Kidney beans like well-drained and fertile soil. You can choose well-growing orchards or vegetable fields to plant.
4. Reasonable fertilization Before planting kidney beans, it is necessary to fully fertilize the land and add appropriate amount of organic fertilizer to make the soil rich in nutrients and increase yield.
3. Buy good seeds. 5. How to choose good kidney bean seeds?
Kidney bean seeds should be selected with full color, smooth skin, clear lines, and free of eggs and damage to ensure normal germination and good growth of kidney beans.
6. Where to buy kidney bean seeds?
You can buy high-quality kidney bean seeds from agricultural supplies stores or online shopping platforms, but you need to pay attention to choosing reputable merchants.
4. Planting method 7. Prepare the seedbed to soften the soil first, then dig pits at a certain distance, and bury the kidney bean seeds into the soil at an appropriate depth.
8. Master watering skills. Keep the soil moist before the kidney beans sprout, and increase the number of watering times after germination, but you should not let the kidney beans soak in the water for too long.
5. Pay attention to the prevention and control of pests and diseases 9. Timely detection of pests and diseases During the growth of kidney beans, we must observe and discover pests and diseases in a timely manner so that measures can be taken to prevent and control them in a timely manner.
10. How to control pests and diseases?
Biopesticides or chemical pesticides can be used for prevention and control, but attention needs to be paid to safe use to avoid causing harm to kidney beans and the human body.
6. Cultivation skills 11. Pay attention to moderate pruning During the growth of kidney beans, the twigs at the top of the kidney beans should be moderately pruned to facilitate their branching and thereby increase yield.
12. Reasonably picking kidney beans Kidney beans can be picked in three periods: morning, middle and evening. The morning and evening periods are from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. to avoid picking when the weather is too hot or the sun is direct.

14. Pay attention to ventilation and ventilation. Regularly ventilate kidney beans to prevent kidney beans from being infected by mold or rotting bacteria.
8. Harvesting and storage 15. Timely harvesting of kidney beans should be picked in time after the kidney beans are ripe to avoid over-ripening or even rot, which affects the yield.
The key to spring kidney bean planting is to choose the right time, choose suitable land and fertilize, purchase good seeds, master planting methods, pay attention to preventing and controlling pests and diseases, master cultivation skills, maintain suitable humidity, and correctly harvest and store. Only by mastering these skills can we create a bumper kidney bean field.
