Bean Farming E-Learning

Virtual bean cultivation training has been created for people to become fully acquainted with bean cultivation. Bean with the scientific name of Vicia faba is a plant from the legume family. The annual bean plant has a smooth, vertical and firm stem without ivy.

It is cultivated in cold regions in spring, but in tropical regions such as Khuzestan, it is cultivated in autumn and winter. The time required for planting and harvesting is about 120 to 150 days.
Beans should not be rotated after any other beans, but they are very well adapted before or after cereals. Such rotation helps control nematodes and diseases and reduces weeds. Provides nitrogen for next grain cultivation.
