Growing Guide (Success Tips)

• Seed Preparation: Cowpea seeds have a tough skin. For faster germination, soak the seeds in water for 4 to 6 hours before sowing.
  
• Sowing: Plant seeds about 0.5 to 1 inch deep in well-draining soil or grow bags. If using grow bags, plant 3-4 seeds per bag.
  
• Support: Geethika is a climbing variety ("valli payar"). You must provide a strong trellis, net, or fence for the vines to climb. This keeps the beans off the ground, ensuring they grow straight and stay clean.
  
• Sunlight: Ensure the plants receive full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily.
  
• Watering & Feeding: Water daily to keep the soil moist. Apply organic manure (like cow manure or vermicompost) every 2 weeks to boost flowering and yield.
  
• Harvesting: You can typically start harvesting within 45-50 days. Pick the pods when they are tender and pencil-thick for the best taste. Regular harvesting encourages new pods to form.
