Yard long bean problems

12 years ago

Hi legume experts,
This year I started a market garden and as I am in a warmer climate than previously, I planted yard long beans (we call them snake beans here).

I have been having a lot of problems with them and was wondering if they have any special requirements that I might have overlooked? Unlike my other beans they have had a lot of yellow mottling on the leaves, bits dying back, beans going yellow prematurely etc. I have started to have some decent harvests but I have to pick most of the beans prematurely because they are yellowing before they reach full size.

Soil prep was pretty standard for legumes.. Just a very low dose of organic based fertiliser. I was unable to find innoculant.

Any thoughts much appreciated.
