DESCRIPTION

Hokkai Green is a modern organic edamame soybean variety developed in Japan and valued for its compact growth, stable yields, and delicate flavour. The plants grow to around 50 cm in height, making them easy to manage and suitable for home gardens as well as small-scale cultivation.

This medium-early variety produces large, visually attractive pods filled with tender edamame beans. Hokkai Green performs best in sunny locations with medium to high temperatures and requires only minimal fertilisation due to its low nutrient needs. It is an excellent choice for organic growers interested in producing fresh, high-quality edamame.

FAQ

Are these edamame seeds certified organic?
Yes, Hokkai Green seeds are certified organic according to EU standards.

Is this variety suitable for European climates?
Yes, it performs well in warm European summers in sunny locations.

Does this soybean require heavy fertilisation?
No, it has low nutrient requirements and does not need intensive fertilisation.

What is the benefit of Rhizobia inoculation?
Rhizobia bacteria improve nitrogen fixation and can significantly increase yield.

Rhizobia bacteria form a natural symbiosis with soybean roots, enabling the plants to fix nitrogen from the air. In soils where soybeans have not been grown before, these beneficial bacteria are often absent. Inoculating seeds or soil with the appropriate Rhizobia strain before sowing can significantly improve plant growth, increase yields, and reduce the need for additional fertilisation. This practice is especially recommended for first-time soybean cultivation and in organic growing systems.
