1. Planting conditions of adzuki beans
Adzuki bean has strong adaptability, but still has certain requirements on the environment. The following are the key planting conditions:
| Conditions | Specific requirements |
|---|---|
| climate | Likes warmth, suitable growth temperature is 20-30℃, drought-tolerant but not waterlogging-tolerant |
| soil | Loose, fertile, well-drained sandy loam soil, pH 6.0-7.5 |
| light | Requires sufficient sunlight, at least 6 hours of sunshine per day |
| Moisture | Appropriate amount of water is needed in the early stage of growth, and more water is needed in the flowering and pod-bearing stage. |
2. Detailed explanation of planting steps
1.Seed selection treatment
Choose plump, disease-free and insect-free seeds and soak them in warm water for 2-3 hours before sowing to promote germination.
2.Land preparation and fertilization
| Fertilizer type | Dosage (per mu) | Application method |
|---|---|---|
| decomposed organic fertilizer | 2000-3000kg | Base fertilizer, applied during plowing |
| Compound fertilizer | 15-20kg | Spread before sowing |
3.Seeding technology
| Project | parameters |
|---|---|
| Sowing time | Sowing in spring is from April to May, sowing in summer is from June to July. |
| Seeding rate | 3-4kg per mu |
| Sowing depth | 3-5cm |
| line spacing | 40-50cm |
| spacing between plants | 15-20cm |
4.Field management
Cultivating and weeding:During the seedling stage, cultivate 2-3 times to keep the soil loose.
Moisture management:During the flowering and pod-bearing period, the soil needs to be kept moist, but water accumulation should be avoided.
Pest and disease control:It mainly controls aphids, pod borers, etc., and the use of biological pesticides is recommended.
3. Harvest and Storage
| Project | Main points |
|---|---|
| harvest time | When the pods turn yellow and dry and the seeds are full |
| Harvesting method | Harvesting whole plants or picking in batches |
| Drying requirements | Sun-dried until moisture content is less than 13% |
| Storage conditions | Dry and ventilated place, insect-proof and mildew-proof |
4. Frequently Asked Questions about Planting
Q: What is the yield of adzuki beans?
A: Under normal management, the yield per mu can reach 150-250kg, and high yield can reach more than 300kg.
Q: What crops can adzuki beans be rotated with?
A: Suitable for rotation with grass crops (such as corn, wheat), avoid continuous cropping with leguminous crops.
Q: How long does it take to harvest red adzuki beans?
A: It takes about 90-120 days from sowing to harvest, depending on the variety and climate conditions.
5. Economic benefit analysis
| Project | data |
|---|---|
| Planting cost (mu) | About 800-1200 yuan |
| Market price (yuan/kg) | 8-15 yuan (depending on quality) |
| Production value per mu | 1200-4500 yuan |
| net profit | 400-3300 yuan |
Adzuki bean cultivation has good market prospects, and as the demand for healthy food increases, its value will further increase. Hopefully this guide will provide a valuable reference for your planting plans.
