Germination Temperature (°C): The ideal soil temperature for germinating Red Yard Long Bean seeds is 20–22°C (68–72°F), with optimal germination occurring at 24–30°C (75–86°F). Seeds may rot in cooler soils below 15°C (59°F). For best results, ensure the soil is warmed to at least 20°C before sowing.

Germination Time: Seeds typically germinate in 7–14 days, depending on soil temperature and moisture. At optimal temperatures (24–30°C), germination can occur in as little as 7–10 days. Cooler conditions may delay germination up to 2 weeks.

Plant Height, Span, and Seed Sowing Depth

• Height: Red Yard Long Bean plants are vigorous climbers, reaching 8–12 feet (2.4–3.6 meters) in height with proper trellis support.
• Span: The plant’s lateral spread is about 2–3 feet (0.6–0.9 meters), depending on trellis structure and pruning.
• Seed Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 1 inch (2.5 cm) deep in well-drained soil.

Plant Spacing: Space plants 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart after thinning to ensure adequate airflow and growth. Initial sowing can be 3–4 inches (7.6–10 cm) apart, with thinning after seedlings develop two sets of leaves.

Row Spacing: Rows should be spaced 24–36 inches (61–91 cm) apart to allow for trellis installation, ease of harvesting, and proper air circulation.

Trellis or Physical Support Requirement: Red Yard Long Beans are pole beans requiring trellis or support due to their vigorous vining habit. A trellis or fence 7–8 feet (2.1–2.4 meters) tall is recommended, installed at planting to avoid root disturbance. Suitable supports include tripods, netting, or bamboo stakes (not exceeding 2 inches in diameter for vine grip). Vertical growth reduces disease risk and eases harvesting.

Seed to Harvest Time: The time from seed sowing to harvest is 60–95 days, depending on the variety and climate. Red Yard Long Beans, such as the ‘Red Noodle’ variety, typically take 80–95 days to produce harvestable pods.

Seed to Bloom Time: Flowering begins approximately 40–50 days after sowing, with blooms (lavender or pinkish) appearing in pairs.

Pot Size/Container Size/Bed Size

• Pot Size: Use containers at least 10–12 inches (25–30 cm) deep and wide, with a capacity of 10 liters to support 1–2 plants. Larger containers (15–20 liters) can accommodate more plants but aren’t necessary for yield improvement.
• Bed Size: In raised beds, allocate 1–2 square feet per plant, with rows 24–36 inches apart.

Soil Type and Ideal pH Level

• Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, fertile, loamy soil enriched with organic matter like compost or manure. Sandy loam or garden loam works well, but avoid heavy clay soils that retain water.
• Ideal pH: 5.5–7.5, with optimal growth in slightly acidic to neutral soils (6.0–7.0). Conduct a soil test to adjust pH with lime (to raise) or sulfur (to lower) if needed.

Daily Sunlight Requirement and Light for Germination

• Daily Sunlight: Requires 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In hot climates, partial afternoon shade can prevent heat stress.
• Light for Germination: Seeds do not require light to germinate and should be sown 1 inch deep in dark soil. However, seedlings need full sun post-emergence for healthy growth.

Water Requirement and Watering Intervals

• Seedling Stage (0–6 inches): Water 0.5–1 liter per plant every 2–3 days to keep soil moist but not waterlogged.
• Vegetative Stage (6–24 inches): Provide 1–2 liters per plant every 3–4 days, ensuring consistent moisture during flowering.
• Mature Stage (>24 inches): Water 2–3 liters per plant every 4–5 days, reducing frequency in cooler or rainy conditions. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
• Note: Adjust based on climate; in Bangladesh’s humid conditions, monitor soil moisture to avoid excess water.

Essential Nutrients and Organic Fertilizers

• Essential Nutrients:
  • Nitrogen (N): 5–10% (legumes fix nitrogen, so moderate amounts needed).
  • Phosphorus (P): 10–15% (for root and flower development).
  • Potassium (K): 10–15% (for pod quality and disease resistance).
  • Micronutrients: Calcium, Magnesium, and Sulfur in trace amounts.
• Organic Fertilizers:
  • Tricho-compost: Rich in N, P, K, and micronutrients.
  • Vermicompost: Balanced NPK (1–2% each), improves soil structure.
  • Cow-dung Compost: Moderate N (0.5–1%), P, and K.
  • Horn Meal: High N (12–14%) and P (1–2%).
  • Bone Meal: High P (20–25%) and Ca (20%).
  • Neem Cake Powder: Moderate N (4–5%), pest-repellent.
  • Mustard Cake Powder: High N (5–6%), P (1–2%), K (1–1.5%).
  • Oyster Shell Powder: High Ca (35–40%), raises soil pH.
  • Epsom Salt: Mg (10%) and S (13%) for chlorophyll production.

Chemical Fertilizer Requirement and Application Rate

• Fertilizer Type: Use a low-nitrogen NPK fertilizer (e.g., 5-10-10 or 14-14-12) to avoid excessive foliage.
• Application Rate:
  • Seedling Stage: None required; rely on soil nutrients.
  • Vegetative Stage (6–24 inches): Apply 5 g of 5-10-10 per plant at planting and again at 4 weeks.
  • Flowering/Pod Stage (>24 inches): Apply 5 g of 14-14-12 per plant every 4 weeks.

Identifying Mature Fruit: Harvest pods when they are 15–20 inches (38–50 cm) long, slender, and deep maroon (turning purple-red when cooked). Pods should be firm, snap easily, and lack bulging seeds. Overmature pods turn pale green/yellow, become fibrous, and develop visible seed lumps.

 Average Lifespan: As an annual plant, Red Yard Long Beans complete their lifecycle in 4–6 months, from sowing to senescence. In frost-free tropical climates like Bangladesh, they may produce until the first cold snap or drought.
