The beans come from hot areas, so they like high temperatures. The seeds of beans germinate at a temperature of about 24 degrees. If the temperature drops below 10 degrees during the growth period, the plant interrupts its development. The beans do not require a lot of water, except during germination, flowering and the formation period of the pod. The climbing variety requires more water than other types of beans.

To establish a crop of beans, the ground is paid in autumn with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers, while in the spring a nitrogen fertilizer is applied before sowing. Sowing must be performed at temperatures above 14 degrees. The seeds are arranged in files, at a distance of 40 cm with each other. In the case of climbing on beans, the distance between the files must be double. Land weeds must be permanently eliminated and watered over the morning.

The first varieties are generally cultivated in their own families. Guisante seeds will germinate at different temperatures, starting from a temperature from 4 to 6 degrees. Peas resist well at low temperatures. However, you need a sunny place to develop healthy.

At the same time, the peas grown in the garden require a lot of water. However, it should not be irrigated in excess, because this makes roots sick and all cultivation is in danger. The ideal soil for peas is deep, loose, well drained and with good permeability.

The first peas crops are established in March, when temperatures exceed 7 degrees. The collection of autumn peas can also be performed between July and August (until the middle of the month). The seeds are sown at a depth of 5 cm, with a minimum distance between the 12 cm files. In the autumn the ground is fertilized with manure, but fertilizer -based fertilizers can also be used on nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Guisantes are collected when 70-75% of pods have reached maturity.

The plantation of this legume is performed in the spring, when the ground temperature reaches 3 degrees. This variety is also frost -resistant, so you can start working early, even if there is a risk that the temperature will go later. Propose the files about half a meter away.
