How long does it take for four-winged beans to bloom and bear fruit?

Generally, the four-angled bean will bloom and bear fruit half a year after planting. Note that the seeds need to be germinated before planting, and the air permeability of the soil must be ensured, so that it can take about a week to take root and sprout.

Flowering and fruiting time of four-winged bean

The fruiting period of the four-angled bean is from October to November every year. The fruit of the plant is a pod with a four-angle shape. The best time to harvest the young pods is within 12-15 days after flowering. At this time, the pods have less fiber and better taste.

Key points for management of winged bean during fruiting period

1. Pruning and leaving vines

After the four-angled bean bears fruit, it needs to be topped and pinched in time, and some old leaves, diseased leaves and underdeveloped flowers need to be removed, so as to avoid unnecessary nutrient loss.

2. Prevent and control pests and diseases

During the flowering and budding stages, the four-angled bean needs to be prevented from diseases and pests with drugs. The recommended ones are Duokaibao suspension, Mobilan emulsifiable concentrate, and Kashik emulsifiable concentrate, etc. It needs to be sprayed about once every 10 days.

3. Temperature

The four-angled bean prefers a warm growing environment, especially during its flowering and podding period. The temperature should be controlled between 18-27℃ to effectively increase the podding rate of the plant.
