Beans long Selecting the Right Variety
Long green beans, yardlong beans, or asparagus beans are the best vegetables to grow in tropical Indian climates. Select disease-free and high-yielding varieties such that the produce stays healthy. Arka Mangala and Arka Komal are two very good varieties used in India.
Optimal Time to Plant
The best time to sow seeds long green beans in India is dFeb to April Or post-monsoon Sept-Nov. The temperature of 20–35°C is most desirable for the beans, and thus most regions in India are ideal for growth during the year excluding extremely hot summers and freezing winters.
Long green thrive on well-drained loamy soils that contain organic matter. Before sowing, the soil should be manured with compost or well-rotted manure for increased fertility. The loose and airy soil will facilitate good growth of roots, leading to a high yield.
Sowing Seeds
Sow seeds directly into the ground at 1–2 cm depth. Sow them 8–10 inches apart in rows 1.5–2 feet apart. Soaking seeds overnight in water can help in faster germination.
Beans long Supporting
Since green beans are climbers, they need proper support as well for healthy growth. Stake or tie bamboo trellises or ropes for vertical support. This promotes improved aeration, prevents pests, and facilitates easy harvesting finally.
Keep media moist while Water them thoroughly 2–3 times a week depending on the weather. Water early morning or late afternoon in hot summers, to avoid excessive evaporation. Waterlog never, as this will cause root rot later.
Fertilization
Employ organic manures such as compost, cow dung manure, or vermicompost for growing long green Nitrogenous fertilizer applied during the first phase promotes leaf growth, whereas phosphorus and potassium promote pod growth. Employ fewer chemical fertilizers since they leach soil fertility if excessively used.
Also Aphids, caterpillars, and whiteflies are some of the other common pests that attack long green.The pests can be managed using neem oil, garlic spray, or other organic pesticides. Do not provide root rot and powdery mildew by providing sufficient space and not too much water on the leaves.
Harvesting Beans
Lastly Long green beans take 50–70 days to come to maturity. Harvest them in the young and tender stage, 12–18 inches in length, for best taste and texture. Frequent picking encourages continuous pod growth soon.
