Mung bean planting time and method steps Mung bean planting time and technology

Mung beans are drought-tolerant and tolerant to poor soil conditions, generally only 60 to 120 days; the suitable sowing period is relatively long, and can be sown from early to mid-April to early August. Let's talk about how to grow mung beans.

Mung bean planting time

Mung beans are suitable for high temperature environments, so they are usually planted in summer. They can germinate and emerge better in a high temperature environment. You can also choose to sow in the south. In April and May, the temperature is suitable and they can germinate well.

Methods and steps for growing mung beans

1. Land preparation and fertilization

If you are planting mung beans, you must prepare the land in advance. You cannot wait until you are about to plant to turn the soil. Generally, you should prepare the land after the autumn harvest this year and then sow in the spring of next year.

When turning the soil, try to turn it as deep as possible. This can eliminate some pests hidden in the soil and reduce the damage caused by pests. After turning the soil, apply base fertilizer, usually farmyard manure, and then sprinkle a layer of soil, and then sprinkle another layer of soil.

2. Planting

Before planting, mix the seeds with some stress resistance agents. This can prevent some diseases and harm to pests such as voles. Mung beans can be sown directly or transplanted.

Direct seeding means digging a small hole every thirty to fifty centimeters in the plowed field, sowing three or four seeds in every small hole, then sprinkling a small amount of compound fertilizer next to it, and finally burying the seeds with soil.

When you transplant, you need to start by raising the seedlings, and when the seedlings have four or five leaves, they can be transplanted, and you should transplant them according to that interval.

3. Field management

After planting is completed, the seeds will be transplanted. If thinning is found in the field, the seeds must be replaced in time. After transplanting, watering should be carried out. If it has not rained, watering should be carried out continuously until the transplanted seedlings grow new roots or new green leaves.

When all the seedlings have survived, weeding is usually done three times. Once after they have survived, and the second time is when they grow to ten to fifteen centimeters.

Finally, before it blooms, it should bloom once. Mung beans generally do not need to be fertilized during their growth, because if the fertilizer is too strong, it will grow seedlings, thus missing the best flowering period, resulting in reduced yields.

4. Disease and pest control

The most common symptoms of mung bean seedlings are viral diseases, root rot and rust, so prevention should be carried out in time. At the same time, the mung beans in the seedling stage should be carefully observed, and pests should be controlled in time when they bloom and pod.
