Beans (Dry)
Dragon Tongue
| 8 | 11" | 2' 3" x 2' 3" | Dragon tongue bean can be harvested, picked and used for their pods as well as for their seeds like a green bean (snap bean) or allowed to mature into a shell bean for using their seeds only
SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Phaseolus vulgaris
CULTURE:
Choose well-drained soil with a pH range of 6.56.8. After last frost date sow seeds about 2" apart, 1" deep, in rows 2036" apart. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 7090°F (2132°C). Plant when daytime soil temperatures average at least 60°F (16°C), or risk poor germination. Inoculants can increase yields. For a continuous supply, make successive sowings every 2-3 weeks through midsummer. Dark-colored seeds germinate better in cool soil than white seeds.
DISEASES:
Plow under or remove and compost bean straw in the fall to hasten destruction of most disease organisms. For Sclerotinia spp. (white mold) control, plant at wider row spacing to promote drying of plant leaves and soil. Practice a 3-year crop rotation, preferably into corn or grain crops. All our bush bean seeds are produced in areas known to be free of halo blight.
INSECT PESTS:
Mexican bean beetles can be controlled with insecticides such as pyrethrin or azadarachtin.
To harvest for dry beans:
Leave drying pods on the plants as long as you can, but harvest them before a period of prolonged rain. If damp weather sets in just when your beans should be drying, pull up the plants and hang them upside down in a dry place until the beans are dry enough to pick and sort. |
