35 of 35 sitao varieties

The average and top yields in tonnes per hectare come from the trials each variety went through to be registered with the NSIC, and from what the seed companies say about their own seed.

What farmers harvest today can be different. Newer harvest records, the season, the place, the soil, the water and the care all move these numbers over time.

So use them to compare varieties, not as a promise for your field. Ask your seller or your agriculturist how the variety did on farms near you in the last few seasons.

How to Choose a Sitao Variety

Pole sitao climbs a trellis and bears for weeks, while bush sitao needs no trellis and comes in at once. Pick long, dark green pods that snap cleanly, and a variety rated against the bean fly and rust if you can.

Days to harvest

Days from sowing to the first harvest. A shorter crop frees the field sooner and dodges more of the weather, while a longer one often fills more.

Yield

Trial yields come from well managed plots in several places, so treat them as a ranking more than a promise. Compare varieties within the same type.

Ratings

R means resistant and MR moderately resistant. MS and S mean the variety took clear or heavy damage in the trials, so scout it often.

Registered or not

A registered variety passed national trials. One that is not on the registry shows only its seller's numbers, so test it on a small area first.

Pests and Diseases of Sitao

The problems that hit sitao fields most often. A variety rated resistant to one of these saves you sprays, so check the ratings on each variety page.

Questions About Sitao Varieties

How many days does sitao take to harvest?
Across the 12 sitao varieties with a count, the average is 45.9 days, from 37 for the fastest to 49 for the slowest. Use the days filter above to see the short ones.
What is the average yield of sitao varieties?
The 19 varieties with a trial yield average 11.02 tonnes per hectare, and the best reach 16.5. Trial plots get good care, so expect less on an average farm.
Which sitao variety is the best?
The best one is the variety bred for your area, your season and your buyer. Start with the filters above, then ask your municipal agriculturist which ones have done well in your town, and test a new one on a small area first.
Should I plant a hybrid sitao?
A hybrid often yields more, but you must buy new seed every season, and it pays back only with good water and fertilizer. Open pollinated varieties cost less, and you can save their seed.
What does it mean when a variety is registered?
It passed official trials in several places before it was approved for sale. A variety that is not registered can still be good, but its numbers come only from its seller.
Where do these numbers come from?
From each registered variety's own trials, and for unregistered varieties from their sellers and farm sources, each one named on the variety page. The words on our pages are our own.

For the varieties not registered, their sellers and farm sources are named on each variety page. The words and pictures are anee.io's own.
