Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my Beira leaves wilting or turning yellow, and what can I do about it?

Wilting with yellowing on Beira is often caused by Fusarium or other soil-borne wilts, which move through the roots. Remove and discard affected plants, then do not replant Beira (or other brassicas) in the same bed for several years; solarize the area if possible and improve drainage before replanting. Water at the soil level and avoid wetting foliage to reduce disease spread to nearby plants.

How can I tell when my Beira is ready to harvest?

Beira is generally ready at about 70 days when plants reach full size and the leaves are firm with good color for the variety. Harvest when leaves are mature but not overly tough: pick the largest outer leaves first, and leave the center to keep producing. If you see flowering/seed stalk development, harvest becomes more urgent because leaf quality declines quickly.
