How to plant red beans

1. Seed soaking and germination

Before planting red beans, the seeds need to be germinated. First, you need to select healthy seeds and put them in warm water for sterilization. Take them out after five minutes and soak them in unpolluted pure water. Wait for the seeds to turn white before you can take them out and sow them.

In the process of sowing red beans, the soil needs to be deeply plowed and dried to eliminate bacteria and weeds. Then the red bean seeds are evenly sown in the soil and covered with fine soil. After sowing, nitrogen fertilizer or urea can be mixed into the field to provide the seeds with a nutrient-rich growth environment.

3. Field management

When managing red beans in the later stage, you can pinch and prune them to inhibit the growth of the top of the plant, encourage the red beans to grow branches for fruiting, or provide them with fertilizers mainly composed of calcium fertilizers and nitrogen fertilizers to make the branches and trunks of the plants thick. However, during the flowering and fruiting period of red beans, it is necessary to reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers and increase the use of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

Precautions for planting red beans

In order to prevent the red bean seedlings from lodging in the later stage, three inter-cultivation and soil cultivation should be carried out. During the peak growing season, a large amount of water is needed, and watering should be done frequently. In addition, top dressing should be done in time. In order to prevent it from growing too tall, multi-effect fructose should be sprayed in time to increase the pod setting rate.
