How to cultivate snow peas to achieve high yields
Snow peas belong to the genus Pisum in the legume family (Fabaceae). They are annual twining herbaceous plants, 90-180 cm tall. The earliest region where snow peas were cultivated was along the border zone of Thailand-Myanmar about 12,000 years ago. The round-bodied ones are also called honey peas or honey beans, while the flat-bodied ones are called green peas or snow peas, and there are also many other names such as xiaohandou, huaidou, madou, qingxiaodou, liudou, jindou, huihuidou, maiwandou, maidou, bidou, malei, guodou, soft-pod peas, podded peas, sweet peas, horendou, qingban, and vegetable peas. They can be used for food. Snow peas, also known as horendou or jiandou, belong to the genus Pisum in the legume family. They are mainly grown for their tender pods, and originated along the Mediterranean coast and in western Asia. Snow pea tender pods are crisp and delicately fragrant, with high nutritional value. Cooked dry snow peas provide twice the solids, calories, carbohydrates and protein of cooked green snow peas, but green snow peas contain more vitamin A and vitamin C than dry snow peas.</p><p></p><p>The origin and evolution of snow peas</p><p>Origin of snow peas: Snow peas (horendou) are not produced in the Netherlands. The reason they are called "Dutch peas" (helan dou) is that the Dutch brought them from their place of origin to China.</p><p>Evolution of snow peas: In the 17th century, the Dutch, relying on their powerful naval fleet, dominated Taiwan, China and the islands of the South Seas in Southeast Asia, bringing various imported goods from around the world, and so the local residents began to call them Dutch peas. Later, the Minnan and Chaoshan people who went to the South Seas and abroad brought them back to their hometowns, and also followed the local way of calling them, calling helan dou "helan dou". Interestingly, "helan dou" (Dutch peas) are called "Chinese peas" in the Netherlands; it is just mutual modesty and humour. It has no meaning whatsoever.</p><p>Medicinal value of snow peas</p><p>Benefits the spleen and stomach: Snow peas are neutral in nature and sweet in taste, with effects such as harmonising the middle and descending qi, promoting urination, and resolving sore toxins. They can benefit the spleen and harmonise the stomach, promote fluid production and quench thirst, relieve hiccups, stop diarrhoea and dysentery, quench thirst and promote lactation, and treat constipation. Regular consumption is effective for weak spleen and stomach, lower abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhoea, failure of milk secretion after childbirth, and vexing heat and thirst. Its seeds, crushed into powder and applied externally, can resolve carbuncles and swellings. Cooked as porridge with glutinous rice and red dates, it has the effects of tonifying the spleen and stomach, helping to warm the body and dispel cold, promoting fluid production and tonifying deficiency, and strengthening muscles and building the body. Snow peas can benefit the spleen and harmonise the stomach, promote fluid production and quench thirst, harmonise the middle and descend qi, relieve hiccups, stop diarrhoea and dysentery, and promote urination. Eaten regularly, they are effective for weak spleen and stomach, lower abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhoea, failure of milk secretion after childbirth, and vexing heat and thirst.</p><p>Beneficial to metabolism: They also play an important role in enhancing the body's metabolic function. Eating immature legume pods without cooking them thoroughly can easily cause poisoning, so one must be careful.</p><p>How to cultivate snow peas for high yields?</p><p>1. Land preparation and fertilisation. Pea taproots penetrate relatively deep into the soil and have well-developed root systems. To ensure the yield of snow peas, open-field planting should be done in the autumn of the previous year, choosing a plot that has not grown legume crops that year, with loose soil texture, relatively high fertility, irrigation and drainage capacity, and neutral soil pH. Apply about 30 tonnes of decomposed farmyard manure, 300 kg of diammonium phosphate, and 150 kg of potassium sulfate per hectare. Deep plough, rake level, and form ridges 70 cm wide and 15 cm high.</p><p>2. Sowing</p><p>1. Sowing time is generally after the plot has been prepared before winter; when the surface soil has thawed to a depth of 10 cm, sowing can begin on frozen soil. Sowing time is generally in early May, and no later than 10 May.</p><p>2. Snow peas are generally sown in drills. Open a furrow in the prepared ridge, 3 to 4 cm deep, scatter the seeds in the furrow at a spacing of 2 to 3 cm, then cover with soil and press down, with a soil cover thickness of about 3 cm. The seeding rate per hectare is 105 to 120 kg. 3. Field management</p><p>1. Plant adjustment. After the snow pea seedlings have emerged uniformly, cultivation, weeding and soil moisture conservation should be strengthened. When tendrils appear and there are 5 to 6 true leaves, set up trellises and guide the branches onto them. A single-ridge straddle trellis method can be used: insert one support pole on each side of a ridge, drive them firmly, tie the tops together with string facing each other, tie a pair of poles every 2 metres, then at a point 20 cm above the ground on each side of the ridge, wrap strong string once around each upright pole until both sides of the entire ridge are tied, keeping the snow pea seedlings within the strings on both sides. As the snow pea seedlings gradually grow taller, gradually tie the strings upward on both sides at 20 cm intervals, always keeping the snow pea stems within the strings on both sides to avoid vine overturning. For reinforcement, add horizontal poles along the ridge on the paired poles of each ridge and tie them firmly.</p><p>2. Fertiliser and water management. During the seedling stage of snow peas, fertiliser and water should be appropriately restrained. Irrigate promptly at flowering. During the entire flowering and fruiting period, pay attention to timely watering, and combine with topdressing 2-3 times, applying about 225 kg of urea per hectare with the irrigation water.</p><p>4. How to control pests and diseases. The main diseases of snow peas are rust, brown spot, downy mildew and powdery mildew. They can be controlled by spraying 200-300 times dilution of 20 percent triadimefon wettable powder, or 1000 times dilution of 65 percent metalaxyl wettable powder, or 2000 times dilution of 5 percent procymidone wettable powder. Among insect pests, the pea leafminer is the most common. Control methods should seize the critical moment from the peak egg-laying period to the early hatching period to spray pesticides. Commonly used agents include 2000-3000 times dilution of 1.8 percent abamectin, or 1000-1500 times dilution of 2.5 percent bifenthrin for spray control.</p><p>5. Harvesting</p><p>Snow peas are grown for harvesting tender pods for export abroad and supply to the market. The harvest standard is generally about 10 days after flowering, when the pods have fully grown, with pod length 6 to 7 cm, but the peas inside the pods have not yet swollen, the pods are very thin, and the pod thickness does not exceed 0.5 cm, which is the best harvest period. The harvest period generally lasts 30 to 50 days.</p>
