Method-1: Put well-rotted manure of cow dung in the field before plowing and prepare the field properly by plowing 2-3 times. Apply the entire quantity of urea fertilizer, superphosphate and muriate of potash in the rows before sowing.

Method-2: Add the entire quantity of cow dung manure, 12:32:16 mixed fertilizer and urea fertilizer while preparing the field.

In dwarf varieties keep the row to row distance 45 cm and 90 cm in tall or pole type varieties. Keep 5-6 cm distance between the seeds and thereafter keep the plant to plant distance 12-15 cm. Sowing of pole type varieties should be done by making ridges and at the appropriate time (15-20 days after sowing) stacking should be done with bamboo stack or plastic twine but to get more yield, plant the pole type varieties along with the maize in such a way that the vines Can climb on the maize plant.

In the temperate regions of the state, it has been observed that if Cabbage crop is planted between the rows of French bean, the yield is higher. To get more income, farmers can do intercropping of French bean and Cabbage.

Weeding and Weed Control

To get more yield, do weeding 2-3 weeks after sowing and before flowering. To control annual weeds, apply Alachlor (Lasso) 1.5 kg before crop growth. (SP) or Thiobencarb (Saturan) 2 kg. (SP) or Pendimethalin (Stomp) 1.2 kg. (SP) or Fluchloralin (Basalin) 1.35 kg. (S.P.) Dissolve it in 750-800 liters of water and spray it per hectare. If there is a problem of motha weed then spray Lasso. Removing weeds by hand results in greater crop growth.

Water Management

It is beneficial to irrigate the crop at an interval of 5-7 days and as per requirement. Irrigation is very beneficial at the time of flowering and development of pods.

Integrated Sprinkler Table

1. Take healthy seeds for sowing.
2. Before sowing, soak the seeds for four hours in a solution of 1 gram Streptocyclin and 25 grams Hexacap in 10 liters of water.
3. Apply Bavistin 50 W.P. in infected areas at an interval of 8-10 days. Spray P. (10 grams/ 10 liters of water) or Indofil M-45 (25 grams/ 10 liters of water).
4. To prevent common mosaic diseases, plant resistant varieties like Contender and Kentucky Wonder.
5. In case of general mosaic problem, spray Malathion 50 EC (10 ml/10 liter water).

Harvesting

Harvest when the pods have taken the desired shape and the seeds are still soft. For higher income, harvest the pods before they lose their greenness or shine. Dwarf varieties are ready for first harvest in 50-60 days and cylindrical or tall varieties in 65-70 days.

Yard Long Bean/Meter Pod Cultivation Practices Follow approved recommendations in rail-type varieties of bean.

Yield

Seed Production

Seed production is like that of normal crop but middle and higher areas are more suitable for its seed production. Keep a gap of at least 25 meters between two varieties so that there is no mixing of seeds at the time of harvesting.

In seed crops, undesirable plants should be removed from the field before flowering, after flowering and after fruiting (marketable stage). Plants affected by diseases and viruses should be removed from the seed crop.

When most of the pods are ripened and start turning yellow or dry up, uproot the plants or pluck the dry pods. Remove seeds from these beans after 10-15 days. Clean it and dry it thoroughly and store it.

Seed Yield

Intercultural Operations: For the cultivation of asparagus bean, follow the same cultural practices as for the bell-shaped asparagus bean.
