PRACTICES
• Irrigation:
On the day of planting 3 days after (light
irrigation)regular interval of 12-15days( light
irrigation)
• Hand weeding and hoeing
• Earthing up – 45 DAS
• Top Pinched off soon after flowering – Pods to
develop early.
21. • Broad bean plants are bush-like but can
grow quite tall and will benefit from
staking to provide some support and keep
them from flopping over due to the weight
of the pods.
• The plants of tall varieties may be staked
with bamboo pol.
STAKING
22. HARVEST AND YIELD

VARIETIES
47. CLIMATIC REQUIREMENT
• Requires dry cool climate and temperature range of 15°-20°C.
• Can be grown at altitude higher than 2000m
• Above 26°C - pollination and fertilization are impaired with the result the pod
formation is severally reduced.
• In plains grown as a winter vegetable while in hills grown during spring
and rainy season.
• Does not tolerate frost.
• Average rainfall – 900-1500mm is required.
48. SOIL REQUIREMENT
• Grown on a wide range of soils from tight sandy loams to heavy clays.
• well drained soil with pH - 6.0-6.5.
• Tight soil - stimulate early growth and maturity.
• Heavy soils - allow the plants to grow profusely
• SEASON - twice during a year, once during rainy season (June-July) and
the second during the spring season.
49. SEED RATE AND SOWING
• In Maharastra, crop is grown after Sugarcane.
• After harvest of Sugarcane, land is ploughed to
fine tilth and seeds are sown.
• A seed rate of 20—35kg of small seeded types
and 45—50kg of large seeded type will be
sufficient for one hectare area.
• The seeds are sown, eyes down, at a spacing of
60 x 40cm in case of pole and semi-pole types
and at 35 x 25cm in case of bush varieties.
50. NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
• Excess application of nitrogen may result in increased foliage growth and
delayed fruiting.
• About 25 tonnes/ha of farmyard manure is applied at the time of final
land preparation.
• A fertilizer dose of 40kg nitrogen, 50kg of phosphorous and 50 kg
potassium is applied as basal dressing.
51. INTERCULTURAL OPERATIONS
• Light and frequent irrigation should be
provided. The soil should not be too wet.
• Frequent shallow weeding will help the crop
to come up rapidly.
• When plants start vining, they are trained to
trellis made with vertical bamboo poles with
hortizontals tied at a distance of 45 cm.
• Height of trellis is upto 150 cm and they are
usually erected along the direction of wind.
52. HARVESTING AND YIELD
• The tender pods become ready for harvest in 85-90 days.
• Full grown pods are harvested when the colour changes from green to yellow.
• The fresh seeds can be collected at this stage.
• Fully matured dried beans can also be used as a vegetable.
• A yield of 5-10 tonnes of fresh green lima bean pods and 5.4-10 tonnes/ha of
fresh green shelled beans can be expected per hectare.
53. POST HARVEST MANAGEMENT
• Storage of fresh beans in CO2 concentration of 25-35%
inhibited fungal and bacterial growth without adversely
affecting the quality.
• Storage temperature of 5-6⁰ C, 95% RH increases shelf life
to 5-7 days.
54. PLANT PROTECTION
• Downy mildew (Phytophthora phaseoli) appears as a white downy
growth on the pods and leaves.
• Controlled by spraying 0.2% Dithane M 45.

56. ULLUKU
• Botanical Name: Ullucus tuberosus
• Family : Basellace
• Chromosome number : 2n=24
• Primary – Root Vegetable, Secondary – Leafy Vegetable
• Other Names: Ulluco – Quechua word – Ulluku
Illaco (Aymara), Melloco (Eucador), Chungua/ruba
(Colombia), Olluco(Bolivia and Peru), Ulluma (Argentina)
• Economically important root crop in Andean region of
South America next to Potato
• Rich in Protein, Calcium and Carotene
57. BOTANY
• The scrambling herbaceous plant grows up to 50 cm (20 in)
high and forms starchy tubers below ground.
• These tubers are typically smooth and can be spherical or
elongated.
• Generally they are a similar in size to the potato; however, they
have been known to grow up to 15 cm (5.9 in) long
• Due to the brightly coloured waxy skin in a variety of yellows,
pinks and purples, ullucus tubers are regarded as one of the
most striking foods in the Andean markets.
Ullucus tuberosus subsp. aborigineus, which is considered a wild type.
While the domesticated varieties are generally erect and have a diploid genome, the
subspecies is generally a trailing vine and has a triploid genome
58. IMPORTANCE AND USES
• The tubers are usually eaten in indigenous soups and
stews, but more contemporary dishes incorporate them
into salads along with the ulluco leaves.
• The major appeal of ulluco is its crisp texture, which,
like the jicama (Pachyrhizus erosus), remains even when
cooked.
• Because of its high water content, ulluco is not suitable
for frying or baking, but it can be cooked in many
other ways like the potato.
59. • In the pickled form, it is added to hot sauces.
• A typical product is produced by
the Quechua and Aymara communities in Peru -
chuño or lingli is produced via a process involving
environmental freezing and drying which is usually then
ground into a fine flour and added to cooked foods.
• When boiled or broiled the texture and flavor are very
similar to the meat of the boiled peanut without the skin.
Unlike the peanut meat becoming soft and mushy, ulluco
remain firm and almost crunchy.
Con Carne
Stew
61. MAIN CHARACTERISTICS THAT DETERMINE THE
CHOICE OF FARMERS FOR CULTIVARS
• Sweetness, storage capacity before consumption, mucilage content and
yield.
• Skin color is also a key parameter to consider while assessing the potential of
the ulluco culture.
• Red tuber plants - frost-resistant and yellow tubers – popular in Ecuador
Markets.
• In the New-Zealand market, the preferred skin color was red over plain
yellow and mixtures of yellow, green and red.
62. CLIMATIC REQUIREMENT
• Prefer cooler climates and will produce better
yields in full sun where summer temperatures are
relatively cool.
• Short day plants require around 11-13.5 hours
of day length.
• As the day length shortens, stolons grow out of
the stems and then develop into tubers.
63. • Ulluco is normally propagated
vegetatively by planting small whole
tubers.
• Also propagated by stem or tuber
cuttings.
PROPAGATION
64. FIELD MANAGEMENT
• Grown in the highlands and altitudes of up
to 4,200 m above sea level.
• Ulluco crop is alternated with two other
Andean tuber crops known
as oca and mashua.
• These different tubers are planted together in
relatively small field and harvested after
approximately eight months. The different
species are then separated following harvest.
Oxalis tuberosa
Oxalidaceae
Tropaeolum tuberosum
Tropaeolaceae
65. HARVEST
• Need to be dug by hand due to their sensitivity to scarring.
• Scuffing of their skin is likely a problem.
• Traditional cultivation conditions, yield -5-9t/ha & intensive systems - 40 t/ha.
• Stored year-round in the Andes
• Best stored in the dark as exposure to the sun can cause fading of their
vibrant colouring.
• A proportion of the smaller tubers used as seed tubers the following year.
• The remainder –mostly for consumption.
66. PEST AND DISEASE
• It has the potential to be host to viruses such as Tymovirus.
• Other viruses of ulluco include the Arracacha virus A, Papaya mosaic
virus, Potato leaf roll virus, Potato virus T, Ulluco mild mosaic virus, Ulluco
mosaic virus, and Ulluco virus C.
• The ulluco is susceptible to Verticillium wilt, a soil organism, at low altitudes and
high temperatures .
• Slugs and snails are common pests, though generally only cause cosmetic damage
to the ulluco.
