I. planting time of edamame beans

1. Early maturing cultivation. The time is from late February to early March, generally using cold bed to raise seedlings, planting in late March, and harvesting young pods from 6 May to July, often using April white and May white.

two。 Middle and late ripening cultivation. The mature seeds planted in summer were direct seeded from late April to mid-May and harvested from July to August, using June white or June yellow. Autumn late-ripening cultivation is direct seeded from June to July and harvested from 9mer to late October. Autumn sowing in South China can also be postponed to July-August sowing and 9Mel-November harvest. Such as August White and Hangzhou five-spiced edamame beans.

3. According to the characteristics of different varieties, early, middle and late maturing varieties can be selected to match each other in southern China, and the production of spring, summer and autumn can be realized.

2. Planting techniques of edamame beans

1. Soil conditions: the land with flat terrain, good soil structure and no fear of drought and flood requires sandy loam with deep, loose and slightly acidic plough layer. Repeated cropping of land should be avoided.

two。 Moisture: water should be controlled before and after being unearthed, so that the root system of edamame is developed, and at the initial stage, edamame bean takes root, which is usually as deep as 50-60 cm. In the process of growth, it is generally not watered because of the rainy season. Unless there is no rain within two weeks, watering should be in the ridge and furrow, not all at once, but more than once. You can walk in the ridge and furrow about 1 hour after watering, once every 2-3 days.

3. Fertilizer: edamame beans are the least fertiliser crops of all legumes and no longer use fertilizers during the growing season.

4. Seedling control: after seed germination, when the edamame bean grows 2 true leaves (about 10 cm in height), choose a strong plant to stay, and the other two plants are cut off at the soil junction with scissors. As a freezing process, one or two plants can be staggered in order to increase the yield, and the ultimate goal is to make the pods of edamame more and bigger.

5. Temperature: the flowering period of edamame in mid-August, high temperature and high humidity are very beneficial to the growth of edamame, but if the night temperature is higher than 25 degrees, it will lead to no pods or empty pods.

The market sales of edamame beans are very good, and the cultivation and management are relatively simple, so it is a kind of crop suitable for extensive cultivation. If you choose the right time to sow, you can harvest in three seasons.
