Baladi Fava Bean Seeds for Planting — 1 kg

A practical pack for growing a larger area of Baladi fava beans during the cool season, with the option of spreading sowing across several dates to suit local conditions.

If a small pack of fava bean seeds covers a few planting stations, the 1 kg Baladi fava bean seed pack is better suited to longer rows or several garden beds. Baladi fava bean (Vicia faba) is a legume that prefers mild and cool conditions. Its green pods and beans are eaten after harvest, depending on the desired stage of maturity.

Where and when should I plant?

Plant fava beans in a sunny position with well-drained soil. In Jordan, they are grown during the cool season. Sowing dates differ between the highlands and the Jordan Valley according to soil temperature and the risk of frost. Try to avoid flowering coinciding with a period of high heat. For precise timing in your area, monitor local weather and field conditions.

Planting guide

• Prepare the soil, remove weeds and improve drainage before sowing.
• Sow directly in the final position at an approximate depth of 4–6 cm, leaving 15–25 cm between plants and 45–60 cm between rows. Adjust spacing to the variety's vigour and cultivation methods.
• Water moderately after sowing, then maintain suitable moisture without waterlogging. Rainfall reduces the need for irrigation; check the soil before watering.
• Remove weeds early and monitor the plants, particularly during flowering and pod formation. Harvest green pods when they reach a suitable size and are still tender.

Frequently asked question

Will 1 kg cover a specific area?
A fixed area cannot be confirmed from weight alone. Actual seed size, germination rate, spacing and sowing methods vary between batches and growers. Estimate your requirements by counting a sample of seeds and measuring your growing area.
