Vigna "Tender" is a mid-season green bean variety with long pods reaching up to 1 m in length and about 2 cm in thickness. The beans are juicy, tender, and maintain their flavor even after long storage: under proper conditions, they can be stored for 2–3 weeks without quality loss.
The variety is characterized by high productivity – yield reaches up to 1.7 kg/m², making it one of the most high-yielding on the market. To achieve maximum output, sufficient moisture and nutrients must be provided to the plants. Vigna is unpretentious in care: it tolerates transportation well, is resistant to common diseases and drought, and can be grown both on a commercial scale and at home.
Growing "Tender" begins with sowing seeds in mid-May (or via seedlings in April). Planting scheme – 10 cm between plants and 30–40 cm along the row. During the season, 3–4 loosening and 1–2 fertilizations are recommended: the first – nitrogen-phosphorus after germination, the second – phosphorus-potassium before budding. Plants are tied to vertical support so stems do not break and fruits develop freely. Bean picking begins 8–10 days after fruit set; frequent harvesting of young pods stimulates the formation of new ones.
Thus, Vigna "Tender" combines ease of growing, high yield, and excellent taste qualities, making it attractive for both professional farmers and home garden enthusiasts.
