Product description
In the Philippines, "sitaw" refers to the long bean or string bean, specifically the Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis plant, which is a climbing herbaceous crop grown for its edible pods.
How to sow/plant seeds:
To plant sitaw (string beans) seeds, you can use either the drill or hill method, planting 2-3 seeds per hill or 18-20 seeds per meter, covering them lightly with soil, and ensuring proper spacing and irrigation.
1. Choose the right method:
Drill Method: Plant 18-20 seeds per linear meter, distributing them uniformly in furrows, then cover lightly with 3-4 cm of fine soil.
Hill Method: Plant 2-3 seeds per hill, using the specified distance indicated in the table, then cover lightly with 3-4 cm of fine soil.
2. Prepare the soil: Ensure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. Mix well-decomposed animal manure, compost, and garden soil.
3. Sow the seeds:
Drill Method: Make shallow furrows (1-2 inches deep) and sow the seeds, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
Hill Method: Create small mounds or hills and place 2-3 seeds in each hill, then cover lightly with soil.
Soaking Seeds (Optional): Some gardeners recommend soaking the seeds in water for 6-24 hours before planting to help with germination.
4. Spacing and Depth:
Spacing: Allow adequate space between plants (2-4 inches within the row for bush beans).
Depth: Plant seeds about 1 inch deep.
5. Watering and Care: Water the seeds gently after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
As the plants grow, provide support with trellises or stakes, especially for pole beans. Regularly remove weeds and apply fertilizer as needed. Pick the pods every two days to prolong the production period of the plant.
