How and when to plant snake beans?

Suitable planting time for snake beans

Snake beans are suitable for planting in spring, approximately in April and May each year, because the temperature at this time can be maintained above 17 degrees, and the light time at this time is longer, which is conducive to increasing the germination rate of snake beans. Not only that, the specific planting time of snake beans also needs to be chosen according to the local ecological environment.

Snake bean planting methods and key points

1. Land preparation

Snake beans are suitable for growing in loose soil rich in organic matter. When planting snake beans, you need to plow the land 30 cm first to enhance the air permeability of the soil.

2. Methods

When planting snake beans, you need to soak the seeds in 45-degree warm water for 6-8 hours to ensure that the snake bean seeds can absorb sufficient water. Then sprinkle the snake bean seeds evenly on the surface of the soil and cover them with a layer of plastic film to increase the soil temperature and promote rapid germination of the snake bean seeds.

Key points for daily management of snake beans

1. Fertilizer and water

Use 25-30kg of fertilizer per mu, and then water. Apply fertilizer appropriately depending on the growth of the snake beans. Keep the soil moist during the fruit setting period, especially in hot and dry weather, increase the frequency of watering appropriately.

2. Weeding

Before setting up the scaffolding, remove excess weeds and clear the drainage ditches. After setting up the scaffolding, check the amount of soil and weeds before carrying out inter-row cultivation and weeding.
