植物簡介

Herbaceous climber that grows 3 - 4 m in height. Leaves green and trifoliate (compound leaves each consisting of 3 leaflets). Leaflets large (8 – 15 cm long, 8 - 15 cm wide at the broadest point) and ovate (lateral leaflets) or deltoid (terminal leaflet). Pea-like flowers classified as papilionaceous are usually light blue, but occasionally white (2.5 - 3.5 cm wide). Fruits are elongated pods (15 - 30 cm long, 3 cm wide) and square or rectangular in cross-section. Frilly or sometimes smooth wings protrude along the length of the pod at each corner. At maturity, pods break open to release 5 - 21 approximately round, smooth seeds.

照顧指南

栽培方式

Plant grows well in hot, humid environments with high rainfall. Sensitive to frost. Tolerates various types of soils, but does not grow well in soils that are waterlogged. Allow 50 cm of space between plants. Although it receives nutrients through its symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, you can fertilize with manure to maximize growth. Stake the plant or use a trellis to maximize fruit production. Requires a photoperiod (duration of daylength) of less than 12 hours to flower. Growth is initially slow when young (0 - 6 weeks), so weed carefully during this growth stage. Begin harvesting the fruits 10-12 weeks after planting. This species is susceptible to false rust, dark leaf-spot, root knot nematodes and various insects pests (eg., Maruca testulalis , Mylabris afzelli , Mylabris pustulata , Heliothis armigera and Icerya purchasi ).
