Sowing time of bean sprouts

Bean sprouts are tender peas belonging to the legume family and can be planted once a year. The best time to sow bean sprouts is from September to early October each year. This is the best time to sow. It should be noted that sowing should be avoided in hot or rainy seasons, as bad weather will affect the growth and development of bean sprouts.

Bean sprout sowing method

1. Select superior varieties

When sowing bean sprouts, you need to choose pea seeds with high yield and good quality. To ensure the germination rate, it is best to use fresh seeds produced that year. At the same time, you need to pay attention to picking out diseased seeds to prevent seed rot during production.

2. Seed soaking and germination

Before sowing bean sprouts, you need to place the seeds in 55-degree hot water, stirring constantly and soaking for about 15 minutes. When the water temperature drops to 25 degrees, add liquid fertilizer, continue soaking for 5 to 6 hours, and place at 20 to 25 degrees for germination.

Key points and techniques for growing bean sprouts

1. Spraying water: When planting seedlings, they need to be sprayed with water every 6 to 8 hours. The temperature of the spray water needs to be controlled at around 20 degrees. When spraying water, you need to pay attention to eliminate the seeds that do not germinate to avoid mildew.

2. Temperature: When planting bean sprouts, the air humidity should be kept at around 85% and the temperature should be controlled at 15 to 20°C, which is conducive to the normal growth and development of the bean sprouts.
