How to grow edamame

There are many ways to grow edamame, so today I will introduce them to you in detail:

1. Double-shed early cultivation:

Selected varieties are early-maturing varieties such as "Tai 292" or "Rifuli 60". Seedlings are raised in a small arch shed in the greenhouse from late February to early March, transplanted from late March to early April, and cultivated in a small arch shed for insulation. They can be harvested and put on the market from late May to early June.

2. Two-film direct seeding cultivation:

The varieties selected are "292" or "Rifuli 60". The bed surface is leveled in early to mid-March, and the ground film is laid on the bed surface. Holes are dug for direct seeding at a density of 1 foot x 8 inches. A simple small arch shed is built on each bed for insulation and cultivation, and the crops are harvested and put on the market in mid-June.

3. Open field direct seeding cultivation:

The main variety to be selected is the medium-ripening variety "Tai 75", and the new Japanese variety "Fugui" can also be selected. Generally, after the winter and spring vegetables such as pickled mustard, snow vegetable, and cabbage are harvested, they are sown directly through holes in the open air in early to mid-April, and picked and put on the market from late June to early July. The method is simple, saves labor and cost, and is easy to cultivate. However, it is necessary to prevent the area from being too large and the market from being concentrated. The number of seeds to be planted should be determined according to market demand.

4. Cultivation in summer and autumn off-season:

The variety selected is the late-maturing, high-quality and high-yield Japanese "Jinqiu" variety. It is sown directly from late May to early June, with an output of about 1,000 kilograms of fresh pods per mu, and is available in the off-season in mid-August.

【Cultivation points】:

Generally, sowing is done from the end of March to mid-April. Due to the weak soil-topping ability, sowing should not be too deep. Appropriately dense planting, row spacing of 30*30 cm, leaving 2 plants in each hole. Apply sufficient basal fertilizer, and apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizers during the flowering and pod stage. In addition to the characteristics of the variety itself, the growth period of edamame is closely related to temperature changes, and frost damage occurs when it is low temperature. If sowing is too late and high temperature is encountered, the growth period is significantly shortened, the growth process is accelerated, the plants are short, and the branches are reduced, resulting in serious yield reduction. In addition, sowing too early will prolong the growth period, which is easy to cause leggy growth and serious diseases and insect pests.
