planted either by directseeding, transplanting, or using

hard stem cuttings

seeds have no dormancyperiods and can be planted as

soon as they are mature

stem cuttings of 45-150 cmlong with a diameter of 4-16 cmcan also be used as propagation

material

Propagation

Pruningshould be trimmed to promote

branching, increase yields, and facilitateharvesting

Pest Managementresistant to most insect pests and

diseases, but outbreaks may occur undercertain conditions. In such case, choosea pesticide that targets the specific pest

causing the damage, and avoidpesticides that kill or inhibit the

development of beneficial organisms andthat last only a few days

For intensive leaf production:harvest green matter when plants reach a

height of 50 cm or more (every 35-40days), cut at a distance of 15-20 cm above

the ground

For pod harvesting:as food: harvest pods when they are

young, tender, and green. They are eatenas green beans. Immature seeds can be

used in recipes similar to green peas

for oil or planting material: harvest podswhen they are mature and spurting.
