Propagation• French bean usually propagates from seeds
Field plantingLand preparation
Plough and loosen the soils to 15 - 22 cm deep for
good growth of root.
Prepare the bed with 1.2 m (4 ft) in width, 0.3 m in
height and the length will depend on the area
condition.
The spacing from 1 bed to another is 0.6 m.
Cont.. Planting
Plant 4 seeds in 1 planting hole, in 2 rows with
spacing between rows is 0.6 m and 0.5 m
between 1 planting hole to another.
When the seedlings growing, leave only 2
plants in 1 planting hole. It is about 9.5 kg
seeds needed for 0.4 ha.
Preparation of stake
• French bean needs stake in order to obtain high
yield. Support the 3 week-old seedlings using
stake with 1.8 m - 2.4 m in length.
• Other method used to support the French bean
is trellis system. Join 2 sticks nearby to the wire
to form trellis.
Example…
General maintenance• Fertilizing (1 ton / ha NPK Green)
• Pruning (for higher yield)
• Watering (to prevent dehydration)
• Weeding
• Tilling
Pest & diseasePEST SYMPTOM CONTROL
BEAN FLY(Ophiomyia phaseoli)
The larvae bore on the stem and causing plant to wilt & die off
Spray with gamma BHC
Spray with carbaryl
LEAF HOPPER(Aphis spp)
Live under the young leaves, shoots & flowersVector for mosaic virus
Malathion Endosuifan Diazinon
POD BORER(Maruca testulalis)
The larvae bore into the pods causing damage to bean & flower
Eradicate the damaged bean spray sevin spray carbaryl
DISEASES PATHOGEN SYMPTOM
Leaf spot Colletotrichum capsici &Cercospora spp
Yellow spot on the leaf Chemical spraying is not required because it is not a serious disease
Leaf rust Uromyces vignae Yellowish on the leafNot affecting the yield of long bean
Harvesting• Pick the pods while still young and the beans have
not formed fully. More flowers will appear if picked regularly
• Fruit can be harvested 7 weeks after planting• Average yield is 8000 – 12 000 kg/ha
