Kabulangeti beans is an indeterminate (semi-climber). The seed size is medium with a maturity period of 75 to 80 days. Seed rate is 60kg/ha with a spacing of 60 × 10cm. Kabulangeti beans can be grown in all the three Agro-ecological zones that is region 1, 2 & 3. The yield potential is 1, 500 to 2, 000kg/ha.
Fertilizer:
In rich soils, or soils where you applied farm yard
manure, you can use an all-purpose light fertilizer like NPK
5:5:5, NPK 10:10:10, NPK 12:12:12. In infertile soils, you can use NPK
15:15:15, NPK 17:17:17 or NPK 19:19:19. Such fertilizers with an equal NPK are
intended to meet most plants general nutrients requirements throughout their
growing season. Alternatively, you can use WVC, DAP. If your soils are very
rich or if you have had a well fertilized crop the year before, you can do
without fertilizer, just inoculate your beans as the crop will use the
left over nutrients.
Foliar Fertilisers:
You can use omniboost at the rate of 3kg/ha. Omniboost improves root
development which results in improved nutrient & moisture uptake. It
contains most macro nutrients as well as zinc, copper, boron & molybdenum.
It’s applied 14 days post planting/sprouting.
Fungicides:
Use SAAF, Triazole, kocide. You can also use difenocozole combined
with Mancozeb in the same sprayer for combating general diseases in beans.
Insecticides:
Use karate, phoskill, metorforce etc.
Strike down is the best selective beans weed killer. However, when
you reduce on spacing, it helps counter the growth of weeds.
If you want to attain high yields just make sure you control the
pest and diseases that attack the leaves.
