How many days does it take for kidney beans to germinate and how to manage them during the seedling stage

How long does it take for kidney beans to germinate?

It takes 3-5 days for kidney beans to germinate. The germination time of kidney beans is closely related to its seeds. You need to select kidney bean seeds that are free of pests and have full and uniform grains. Soak them in clean water for 30 minutes, take them out and dry them. This will help the kidney beans germinate quickly.

Kidney bean germination time

The kidney beans will sprout in about 6 days after sowing. It is recommended to plant them in sandy soil with deep soil layer, good drainage and slightly acidic. Adding well-rotted farmyard manure as base fertilizer can make the kidney beans grow better.

Management of kidney beans after emergence

1. After the kidney beans emerge, reasonable temperature control is required. After the emergence, the temperature should be controlled at 18-20 degrees. After the kidney beans grow leaves, it is recommended to keep the room temperature at around 20 degrees. This is more conducive to the growth of kidney bean seedlings.

2. After the kidney beans emerge, the amount of water should be strictly controlled to keep the ground semi-moist or thoroughly watered. Generally, water should be applied every 1-2 days. Sprinkler irrigation should be used as the main method to prevent a large amount of water from irrigating the roots and damaging the kidney bean root system.

3. When the main stem of the kidney bean seedling grows to 30-40 cm in height, or 5-6 leaves appear, you can build a frame for the kidney beans. It is recommended that the frame height reach 2 meters, and remove the top buds when the kidney bean stem is 60 cm in height. This can increase the number of flowers and pods.
