From date of direct seeding.DIRECT SEEDING: Sow seeds 1" deep, spaced 3" apart in rows 4' apart after soil temperature exceeds 60°F (16°C). If using poles, plant 4-6 seeds at the base of each pole. Inoculants can increase yields.AVG. DIRECT SEEDING RATE:
50 seeds/12' or 10 poles; 250 seeds/60‘ or 50 poles; 500 seeds/120' or 100 poles; 1M/ 250' or 200 poles.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 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.
