Garrafal Gold Bean is a climbing green bean variety from the Leguminosae family, scientifically recognized as Phaseolus vulgaris.
This plant is annual and indeterminate, thriving beautifully in warm, humid environments but intolerant of frost.
Its pods are polymorphic in shape (flat, round, short, long), colors (green, yellow, speckled, violet), and flowers (white, violet).
The pods do not develop strings and are a delicious, highly nutritious vegetable. General Cultivation Tips: - Choose well-drained, light soil for planting. - Ensure proper aeration of the soil through tilling before sowing. - Apply a potassium-rich base fertilizer (1-1-3) and incorporate well-aged manure six months prior to planting to avoid soil health issues. - Use effective insecticides to combat soil pests (wireworms, cutworms, bean flies, etc.). - Sow at the appropriate time for your specific region, based on the variety and desired harvest time. - Maintain the field weed-free through herbicides or manual weeding. - Set up supports (mesh, canes) to support growing plants. - Avoid excessive watering that causes waterlogging, especially during flowering.
Drip or spray irrigation is optimal for this crop. - Care for soil health and ensure clean parcel margins while conducting regular treatment to prevent diseases. - Treat for anthracnose and botrytis in spring, and control yellow spider mites and thrips in summer to avoid crop loss. - Harvest regularly (1-3 days depending on variety) to prevent pods from becoming tough. Garrafal Oro Bean is medium-precocious, vigorous, and productive; its slightly curved, flattened pods are of excellent quality, measuring 18-20 cm in length and 1.5-1.8 cm in width.
