Festival Beans — an early-season snap bean variety developed by the Dutch company Rijk Zwaan. This variety is characterized by its rapid maturity: from sowing to harvest, it takes about 55-60 days. The plant is climbing, heavily foliated, with long, thin, and straight pods measuring 22-26 cm. The pods have a rich green color, are noted for their high tenderness and lack of fibers, making them particularly tasty and convenient to prepare.
Festival demonstrates stable and high yields when grown in open ground, under film cover, or in various types of greenhouses (film, plastic, glass, tunnels). The plant is recommended for growing on a trellis or other support. The variety is resistant to ascochitis and bean weevil, and is plastic to various growing conditions, including soil moisture levels and solar activity.
Festival beans are versatile: the harvested crop is suitable for fresh market sales, as well as freezing, canning, and other culinary processing. Due to its qualities and stable yield, this variety is an excellent choice for cultivation during the spring-summer-autumn period in both open and closed ground.
