Growing conditions
To achieve the best results, it is worth ensuring appropriate sowing and care conditions.
- Sowing date: As early as possible, preferably in March.
- Optimum sowing density: 45-55 seeds per square meter.
- Sowing depth:
- Light soils: 8-10 cm
- Heavy soils: 6-8 cm
Plantation protection
In the initial growth stages, proper weeding is important. Herbicides can be applied shortly before and after emergence, while mechanical weeding works well in wider inter-rows.
During cultivation it is worth monitoring:
- Beet aphid – especially at the beginning of flowering,
- The bean plant – in full bloom,
- Chocolate spot – possible fungicide sprays,
- Anthracnose – proper seed hygiene helps reduce its occurrence.
