Without a doubt, beans are one of the most popular foods in Brazilian menus, as the grain is part of our country’s most famous combination: rice and beans. Furthermore, it is an easily planted food, making it one of the most profitable investments for small rural producers. Check out the 5 tips we've prepared below at 7MBoots to ensure successful bean planting.
The bean plant is primarily cultivated to extract its seeds. The grains, besides being very tasty, also concentrate high amounts of nutrients and iron. First and foremost, it is necessary to consider the numerous varieties of beans available in the market, among the most consumed are carioca beans, black beans, and white beans. However, although planting this grain is relatively simple, certain knowledge is essential for you to have adequate information and confidence to invest in this new business. Discover below the 5 tips to guarantee a successful bean plantation.
The ideal climate for cultivating beans is between 15 °C and 30 °C, as the plant does not withstand low temperatures or frost. Moreover, to ensure the plant develops vigorously, it is essential to avoid places with frost and frequent low areas.
Generally, the most suitable soil for bean cultivation should have good drainage and be rich in organic matter to ensure proper fertility without the need for industrial agricultural inputs. Additionally, due to the high consumption of beans in the national territory, it is best to opt for organic farming.
Although bean cultivation is relatively simple, the choice of the best time for planting varies according to the region of the country, as the climate is always variable in each. According to the agricultural calendar, the most suitable month for planting in the Northeast is October, while in the southern region, the best period is August.
First of all, to guarantee a successful bean planting, it is necessary to pay attention to the soil moisture levels. In other words, to ensure that the bean plant receives the recommended amount of water and develops quality, one of the most indicated techniques is the use of a controlled irrigation system.
In this way, the rainy season should be moderate to avoid the plantation receiving an excessive amount of water, which, besides encouraging the proliferation of diseases, also compromises its growth.
Indeed, the bean plant thrives best in areas that receive direct sunlight. However, sunlight, if too intense and frequent, can be harmful to the plant.
Therefore, it is best to select an area where sunlight is not present all day long. For example, if you have a corn plantation, it is interesting to start planting beans nearby, so both plants can benefit from partial shade.
