Sowing begins when the soil temperature 15 ° C.
Fertilization
To achieve good yields, with average soil parameters recommended the introduction of: 3-5 kg / ha of nitrogen, 4-6 kg / ha of phosphorus, 9-10 kg / ha of potassium.
The quantity of fertilizers depend on pre-made soil analyzes and recommendations of the laboratory.
Irrigation

The provision of air moisture is especially important for beans.
Harvest
Green beans are in optimum condition for harvesting for 2-3 days. Determine the right time to harvest requirements of processors.
