Growing Information:

Beans, Bush

CULTURE: Choose well-drained soil with a pH above 6.0. PLANTING: After last frost date when soil temp. is at least 60°F (16°C) sow seeds about 2" apart, 1" deep, rows 20-36" apart. Inoculant (see Index) can increase yields. For a continuous supply make successive sowings every 2-3 weeks through mid-summer. UNTREATED SEEDS: Most of our bean seeds are not treated with a fungicide that helps prevent seed rot in cool, wet soils. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 70-90°F (21-32°C). We caution against planting untreated seed until daytime soil temperatures average 60°F (16°C). DISEASES: Plow under or remove and compost bean straw in the fall to hasten destruction of any disease organisms. Practice crop rotation of at least three years. INSECT PESTS: Mexican bean beetles can be controlled with rotenone or pyrethrin. HARVEST: Regularly to encourage new pod set. STORAGE: Store at 40°F (5°C) and 90% humidity for 7-10 days. AVG. SEEDING RATE: 175'/lb., 6 lb./1,000', 85 lb./acre at 8 seeds/ft. and 3' row spacing. SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: 800-1,800 (avg. 1,400). PACKET: 2 oz. (avg. 175 seeds, sows 20-25').
