Dayana

Practical insights on growing «Dayana» beans

When selecting a grain bean variety, efficiency in mechanical harvesting is a top priority for any commercial grower. «Dayana» from PMP «Tiras» is a bush-type bean that eliminates the need for trellising, making field management and inter-row cultivation significantly easier.

Growth cycle and timing

With a maturity period of 90–100 days, this variety is highly predictable. As a grower, you can plan your harvest window with precision, avoiding late autumn rains that often compromise the quality and color of white-seeded varieties. The 3-month cycle allows for steady development from germination to pod maturation.

Harvesting and field management

«Dayana» is classified as a shelling bean, and its pod structure is well-suited for standard combines. When settings are adjusted correctly, the risk of mechanical damage to the white seeds is minimal. Proper spacing is essential; as a bush variety, it requires adequate airflow to keep the lower stems healthy and disease-free throughout the season.

Using seed stock from PMP «Tiras» typically results in uniform emergence across the field. This uniformity is a major advantage during harvesting, as it ensures that the entire crop reaches maturity simultaneously, allowing for a single-pass harvest that saves time and fuel.
