Sowing in the continental region begins in late April, when the soil temperature is +10 ° C, and even earlier - in the Mediterranean.
Legumes are extremely rich in plant fibers, which is why nutritionists often recommend them as a very important food for human consumption. They are often on the list of plants that people grow in their gardens.
The homeland of all legumes are considered Mediterranean countries.
Heavy soils prevent the formation of nodule bacteria.
They are grown on the same surface every four years. Enrich the soil with nitrogen, so after them it is good to grow tomatoes or peppers.
Light soils with a pH structure of 5.4 to 6 are best suited for growing legumes.
Weather with a daily temperature of up to +25 ° C should not deceive us. Direct sowing begins in late April, but is usually carried out around mid-May, when the soil also becomes warm and there is a danger of frost. The sowing depth is 5 cm, and two seeds are placed in the furrow.
For early production, they can be grown in protected areas when sowing is done in March in Dalmatia, and in the continental zone in mid-April. There are high and low varieties, and in small gardens they often get low because they only need to be sown and wait about 60 days before the first harvest.
It takes a little more effort to grow high grades, because they need to provide support, such as wooden stakes. They are planted crosswise so that the rows are at a distance of about 1 m from each other, and the distance between plants should be about 80 cm.
Both high and low varieties can be sown three times a season: in May, June and July.
- The first results of an in-depth analysis of Croatian agriculture show that investments in Croatian agriculture are economically viable, and that $ 1 million invested in agricultural production provides an increase of $ 5.19 million in total agricultural output.
- From a natural disaster in the form of hail affected the territory of the municipality of Dejanovac and the municipality of Kapela, in Croatia.
- Onion leaves make up 93% of the water, and bulbs - 86%, which indicates the importance and need of this crop for moisture.
