Vicia faba Instructions
Hardiness Zones
Zones 3–10 (Cool-Season Annual). Plant early spring in all zones; fall sowing (Aug–Sep) only for areas with winter lows above 10°F (-12°C). Avoid summer planting in hot southern regions.
Sowing Method
Direct sow 1" deep as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring.
Temperatures
Optimum Germination: 68–77°F (20–25°C)
Growing: Prefers cool weather conditions.
Plant Spacing
Space 4–6" apart, in rows 18–36" apart. Alternatively, use wide-bed style planting, giving each plant 1 sq.ft. of space.
Culture
Unlike most beans, fava beans prefer cool weather. Using soil inoculants (nitrogen-fixing bacteria) prior to planting can help increase yields.
Pests & Diseases
Monitor for aphids, which spread a virus causing leaf and pod blackening. This disease is most prevalent in hot weather above 80°F (27°C).
Harvest & Storage
Pick individual pods when the green shell beans inside are plump. For dry beans, wait until pods are completely dry before harvest.
