Product Description
Adzuki Bean
The adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) has been grown and used for many centuries in the Orient. It was introduced to Japan from China about 1000 years ago and it is now the sixth largest crop and is a frequent subject in Japanese scientific publications. It is a cultigen not found in the wild and its center of origin is unknown but variously proposed to be China, India or Japan. Erect plant types are currently grown in northern provinces of Japan while the branching, vining types are cultivated in China, Manchuria and other warmer climate areas.
The sowing of the peas is in 2–3 cm depth in rows 30–90 cm apart and 10–45 cm within the row. Rarely seeds are sown by broadcast. The amount of seeds ranges between 8–70 kg/ha. Growth of the crop is slow, therefore weed control is crucial mainly between germination and flowering. Cultivation systems differ largely among different countries. In China adzuki bean is often grown in intercrops with maize, sorghum and millet while in Japan the bean is grown in crop rotations. Harvest of the peas should not be done as long as moisture content of the seed is higher than 16%.
