Planting method and time of mung bean

Mung bean has a high nutritional value and is most suitable for use in summer. it can reduce fire and clear heat. Mung bean is also one of the grains, which is also sold well in the market and has a wide range of use. today, we will follow the pro-agricultural network to learn the planting time and methods of mung beans. Let's take a look.

Planting time

Mung bean is a kind of plant with strong resistance, and it can still grow well for drought, so it is generally used for sowing in summer, but it is not the season when everything grows in spring, so mung bean can also be sown in spring, so the sowing time of green is usually April, May and June and July every year. Mung beans like to grow in an environment of high temperature and humidity, so be careful not to sow seeds too early in spring, otherwise the survival rate and quality of mung beans are not high, so they can be sowed early in summer, and it is best to make them grow when it is hot and rainy in summer. at that time, its yield will increase significantly.

Planting method

1. Soil preparation and fertilization

If you want to plant mung beans, you should prepare the land ahead of time. Do not wait until it is time to plant. Generally, the soil will be sown right after this year's autumn harvest and then sown in the spring of next year. Try to turn the soil as deep as possible, so that some pests hidden in the soil can be eliminated and the threat of insect pests can be reduced. after turning the soil, it is necessary to lay the groundwork with basic fertilizer, usually using farm manure, and then spread the fertilizer evenly to make ridges. Then you can wait until next year to sow.

2. Sowing method

Before sowing, you should first mix the seeds and some resistance agents evenly, which can prevent some diseases, but also can prevent insect pests such as voles. Mung bean can be sown directly or transplant. The direct broadcast is to dig a small hole every 30 to 50 centimeters in the turned field, sprinkle three or four seeds every other hole, then sprinkle a little compound fertilizer on the side, and finally cover the seeds with soil. Transplanting should be carried out first, and when the seedlings grow four or five leaves, they can be transplanted, and the transplanting is also planted at that interval.

3. Field management

After sowing, planting should be carried out. It is found that the seedlings in the field should be replenished in time, and after planting, a watering should be carried out. If it has not rained all the time, it should be watered all the time. You can rest assured when you know that the transplanted seedlings have new roots or new green leaves. Weeding should be carried out after all the seedlings have survived. Generally speaking, it is necessary to weed three times, once after survival, the second time when it grows to 10 to 15 centimeters, and finally before it blossoms. Mung beans generally do not need to apply fertilizer in the process of growth, because if there is too much fertility, it will grow seedlings and then miss the best florescence, resulting in a reduction in yield.

4. Disease and pest control

The most common diseases of mung bean are resistance to virus, root rot and rust, so it is necessary to prevent them in time. At the same time, mung bean is prone to root rot at seedling stage, so it is necessary to observe carefully and control pests such as pod borer and thrips in time when blooming and bearing pods.

5. Timely harvest

Mung beans should be harvested at the right time, usually in batches. You can first pick off some of the mature pods, then let the unripe pods continue to grow until they are ripe for harvest. If it is planted in a large area, it is usually possible to harvest until 3/4 of the pods on the mung bean seedlings turn yellow and black. Never harvest too late, or the pods will crack and the mung beans will break out of their shells.
