Tender & Sweet Yields: Vanda Inter Seeds Yard Long Bean OP (White Seed)

Provide your fresh market buyers with the premium, tender quality of the Vanda Inter Seeds Yard Long Bean OP – White Seed. Known locally as “Thua Fak Yao,” this classic climbing bean is an absolute essential in Asian cuisine. The “White Seed” (Melad See Khao) strain is specifically sought after by chefs and home cooks for producing lighter green pods that are notably sweeter and softer than the red-seeded varieties. This makes it the ultimate choice for classic dishes like Pad Prik King, stir-fries, and mild curries where a tender, melt-in-the-mouth bean texture is desired.

Tropical Resilience and Continuous Production: Successfully cultivating yard long beans in high heat requires genetics that resist flower drop and heat stress. This Vanda OP variety is expertly adapted to intense tropical environments. It develops a fast-growing, vigorous vine that quickly scales trellises, maximizing the plant’s exposure to sunlight and ensuring excellent airflow. As a stable Open Pollinated (OP) crop, it offers professional growers reliable uniformity and a long, highly profitable harvesting window, pushing out continuous flushes of premium light-green pods.

Key Characteristics:

• Gourmet Culinary Quality: Delivers a notably tender, non-fibrous bite and a naturally sweet flavor that excels in cooked dishes.
• Premium Market Appearance: Yields long, smooth, and uniformly light-green pods that look exceptionally fresh on retail displays.
• Heavy Continuous Bearer: Vigorous flowering leads to multiple dense pod clusters, ensuring a steady daily harvest.
• Stable OP Genetics: Reliable, field-tested seeds that provide consistent crop performance and excellent tropical adaptability.

Professional Planting & Care:

1. Soil & Support: Yard long beans require sturdy vertical support. Before planting, construct an overhead trellis, A-frame, or netting system (at least 2 meters high). Trellising allows the long pods to hang straight down, preventing them from curling or rotting on the damp soil.
2. Sowing & Spacing: Direct sow seeds into well-draining, highly fertile soil on raised beds. Plant 2–3 seeds per hole, roughly 2–3 cm deep. Space the planting holes 40–50 cm apart with 1 meter between rows. Thin to the two most vigorous vines per hole after 10–14 days.
3. Watering & Nutrition: Maintain consistent moisture, especially once flowering initiates. Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer (15-15-15) during early vine growth. When flowers appear, side-dress with a phosphorus and potassium-rich blend (such as 8-24-24) to maximize pod length, sweetness, and continuous fruit setting.
4. Harvesting: Begin harvesting 50–55 days after sowing. Pick the beans while they are young, light green, and before the seeds inside begin to swell and bulge the pod. Harvesting every 1–2 days is crucial to prevent the pods from becoming spongy and to encourage further flowering.
