Beans are among the top ten most useful vegetables, so when choosing crops for growing in your garden, they always have a place. In order for the time and money spent to be rewarded with a generous harvest, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the basic rules of agricultural technology, planting and care for open field cultivation.
When to plant beans outdoors
The planting of beans is planned for May month. You should focus on weather conditions and the correct temperature regime in the soil, which is indicated by indicators 12-15 degrees (at a depth of up to 10 cm). According to the popular calendar, this period coincides with the flowering of chestnuts.
Erect varieties need to be planted first, and after a week you can start climbing varieties. They plan to plant a bushy legume in early July... This can be done on the beds from which the harvests of early-maturing vegetables have already been harvested.
Experienced gardeners carry out planting work in several stages: from mid-May to early July with an interval of at least 10 days.
To speed up the harvest, it is recommended to cover the soil in advance with plastic wrap to warm up. After planting the seeds, cover the garden bed again until the night temperature is at least 12 degrees.
Are beans afraid of frost
Beans are a thermophilic culture, so planting is best done in spring in the second half of Maywhen the threat of frost has passed. Young shoots are afraid even of cold winds, which is why many gardeners find its place under apple trees or along the fence.
The minimum temperature that bean sprouts can withstand does not exceed the mark -3-4 degrees... If the frosts were short-lived, the beans will survive, but their development will be slowed down and yield decreases.
Agrotextile or film, which are used for construction, will help to change the situation temporary shelter.
The most popular varieties for planting
Varietal variety complicates the choice. If there are difficulties in determining the range, it is recommended to give preference to proven varieties that are adapted to the climate and weather conditions of the region.

Planting rules and agricultural techniques for growing in open ground
Seed preparation
To obtain quick shoots and protect young shoots from diseases, the seeds should be prepared before planting.
Soak first in a weak solution of potassium permanganate for about 20 minutes. After the procedure, the beans are washed with clean water and again need to be soaked in wood ash infusion for 2 hours.
At night before sowing, the pea beans are wrapped in a damp cloth for sprouting at home. And 5 minutes before sowing in the soil, they are dipped into a boric acid solution. This will protect the plant from diseases and pests.
Preparing the soil and choosing a place for sowing
For planting a crop, well lit place, but without drafts and strong winds, planting through seedlings is practically not used. The type of soil does not play a big role, but experienced gardeners noted that beans develop worst of all, they can germinate and bear fruit poorly on clay soils. This is due to poor moisture permeability, which causes the seeds and roots to rot.
In general, the preparatory process for the formation of the garden consists in digging the soil to the depth of the shovel bayonet... At the same time, fertilizers are introduced: per 1 m2, add 4 kg of humus or compost, 2 tbsp. l. dolomite flour, 1 tbsp. ammonium nitrate and 2 tbsp. superphosphate.
Another option for enriching the soil with nutrients involves the use of ½ compost (humus), 30 gr. superphosphate, 20 gr. wood ash per 1 m2.
When determining a place for planting beans, those crops that were grown on it last season are taken into account.
Ideal predecessors are: potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, eggplant.
Planting scheme and depth
Shrub varieties of culture are planted according to the scheme:
- seed placement depth - somewhere 5-6 cm;
- distance between holes in a row - 20-25 cm;
- aisle - 40 cm.
Curly varieties are planted in a slightly different way:
- seed placement depth - 5-6 cm;
- spacing between holes in a row - 25-30 cm;
- aisle - 45-50 cm.
5-6 seeds are immersed in each hole. After formation on the seedlings, one leaf at a time, only 3 seedlings need to be left, the rest should be removed or carefully transplanted.
According to lunar calendar for 2018 planting beans is recommended:
- March - 20-23 days;
- April - 6-9, 19, 20, 23-26;
- May - 7-10, 19-24;
- June - 4-7 numbers.
Leaving after disembarkation
Unpretentious beans do not require much attention to themselves, but they still need the basic rules of agricultural technology.
Bean seed germination
Bean seeds begin to sprout later 7-10 days after disembarkation... If the air and soil temperature is below the recommended values, then the first shoots will germinate 5-7 days later.
The germination process can be accelerated if the seed is soaked in growth stimulants houses. Covering the beds with a film also contributes to this.
Young shoots must be spud to make them resistant.
Watering rules and conditions
The plant loves water, so you should not break the watering regime. It is especially important to moisten the soil during the pod formation period.
The rate of water per bush is determined by eye, the procedures are carried out Once a week, the main thing is not to let the soil dry out. Precipitation in the form of rain is considered the best irrigation liquid. Experienced gardeners use settled water, the temperature of which not lower than 18 degrees.
What top dressing to use in the garden
The culture is responsive to fertilizers. After preparing the soil for planting, you will need to make at least 3 dressings.
The first procedure is performed 3-4 weeks after germination. It is ideal to use a complex fertilizer rich in nitrogen and phosphorus. Superphosphate is also suitable at the rate of 30-40 grams per 1 m2.
After 3 weeks, you need to feed a second time, this is necessary for the formation of fruits (10-15 grams of potassium salt per 1 m2). The third time the nutrients are administered after 3 weeks.
You should not overdo it with fertilizers, you can provoke the growth of tops and reduce the ovary of pods.
Pests and prevention
Beans are one of the few crops that pests do not attack... Only slugs can appear.
Their invasion can be prevented by timely weeding, as weeds grow and create a favorable habitat for parasites. If slugs are found, you can set several traps from which you need to periodically remove insects for disposal.
The correct timing of harvesting in the country or in the garden
Harvest time depend on varieties and types culture. Asparagus beans should not be overexposed in the beds, as the product loses its value when dried.
If you plan to preserve the legume crop, then you can use any unripe fruits. But for winter preparations, it is better to wait for the pods to dry. The main thing is not to be late, so as not to collect beans from the ground later.
You should not pluck all the pods at the same time on the same day if there are completely dry and greenish ones among them. In the shade of its own tops, some ovaries could develop weaker, it is better to leave them to ripen.
To quickly extract the beans from their "houses" it is not at all necessary to sort each one by hand. The stick will do the job, you can knock out the harvested crop.
To do this, exclusively dried pods are laid out on the bedspread, along which you need to walk with a simple tool with moderate effort. It remains only to remove the dry part of the beans. The selected beans are still being dried and only after sorting are they sent for storage.
The agricultural technology of beans is simple, even a novice gardener can sow and grow it in the suburbs, Ukraine, the Urals or Belarus. By completing all the procedures in a timely manner, preparations for the winter are provided with an incredibly healthy and nutritious product, which also diversifies the menu.
