Long bean planting time

Dragon beans are generally planted from March to May each year. In Hebei Province, they are sown from late April to early May.

How to plant dragon beans

1. Prepare the soil: Longdou does not have very high requirements for the soil, as long as it is not too poor or compacted. It is more suitable to grow in loose, breathable, disease- and pest-free soil. It needs to be fertilized in advance and deep plowing and preparation.

2. Sowing: Long beans require relatively full seeds. After preparing the soil, you need to dig a small hole. After the seeds are germinated, you can sow them in the soil. Then you need to cover them with a thin layer of soil and plastic film.

3. Transplanting and planting: After the dragon beans emerge, management needs to be strengthened. When the seedlings grow 3 true leaves, they can be transplanted. This needs to be done in clear weather and rainy days should be avoided.
