1. Choose a venue

When planting adzuki beans, you need to choose a suitable site. Adzuki beans are suitable for growing in a relatively warm and humid environment, so it is best to choose a sunny, ventilated and close to a water source. Before breeding, you need to choose soil that has been planted with wheat or corn to avoid repeated planting of adzuki beans.

2. Choose red beans

When sowing and planting adzuki beans, you also need to choose suitable adzuki beans as seeds. First, you need to select healthy seeds with full grains and no diseases. Then you need to soak the seeds in clean water, pick out the seeds floating on the water and throw them away, pick out the seeds that sink to the bottom of the water, drain them, and then sow them.

3. Seeding and planting

When sowing, you can dig trenches in the planting site, and keep the distance between each two trenches at about thirty-five centimeters. Then sow the seeds in the trenches, and pay attention to keep the distance between the seeds at about twenty centimeters. After sowing, you can bury them with fine soil and wait for germination.

Precautions for planting red beans

They can also be provided with inorganic fertilizers rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to enable them to grow vigorously. They can also be provided with sufficient light so that the plants can produce more fruits.
