Days To Maturity
Days To Maturity
Average number of days from seeding date to harvest, within a specific crop group. If a transplanted crop: average number of days from transplant date. Not sure if crop is direct-seeded or transplanted? Check the Growing Information box for details. If crop can be both direct-seeded or transplanted, days to maturity refers to direct seeding. Days to maturity for all flowers and herbs is calculated from seeding date.

Life Cycle
Plants can be Annuals (single growing season), Perennials (grow year after year), Tender Perennials (grow year after year in warmer climates; and in some cases when given special protection in colder climates), or Biennials (require two years to mature).

SCIENTIFIC NAME:
Phaseolus vulgarisCULTURE:
Choose well-drained soil with a pH range of 6.5-6.8. Optimum soil temperature for germination is 70–90°F (21–32°C). Plant when daytime soil temperatures average at least 60°F (16°C), or risk poor germination. Inoculants can increase yields. Dark-colored seeds germinate better in cool soil than white seeds. Do not thin. Filet beans are not recommended for freezing or canning.DAYS TO MATURITY: From date of direct seeding.DIRECT SEEDING: After last frost date sow seeds about 2" apart, 1" deep, in rows 20–36" apart.AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE:
1,000 seeds/125', 1 lb./175', 116M/acre at 8 seeds/ft. and 3' row spacing.SUCCESSION PLANTING:
For a continuous supply make successive sowings every 2–3 weeks through midsummer.INSECT PESTS:
Mexican bean beetles can be controlled with insecticides such as pyrethrin or azadirachtin.DISEASE:
Plow under or remove and compost bean straw in the fall to hasten destruction of most disease organisms. For Sclerotinia spp. (white mold) control, plant at wider row spacing to promote drying of plant leaves and soil. Practice a 3-year crop rotation, preferably into corn or grain crops. All our filet bean seeds are produced in areas known to be free of halo blight.HARVEST: Pick regularly to encourage new pod set. Filet beans are intended to be picked very slender, ⅛–¼" in diameter. A continuous yield of "extra fine" (¼" diam.) grade is maintained by picking every 36–48 hours. 2 days in hot weather or 4 days in cool weather is about the maximum delay between harvests to ensure an absence of oversized, tough beans.STORAGE:
Store at 40°F (5°C) and 90% relative humidity for 7–10 days.Seeds/Lb. (Avg.): 1,750.
Packet: 175 seeds, sows 29'.
