2. What are the key points of the pea planting method?
1. Choose a suitable pea variety
Seed selection for peas is very important. A suitable variety should be chosen according to the local climate, geographical environment and so on, because the environment in each place is somewhat different, and the ability of different varieties to adapt to the environment is also different.
2. Seed treatment
Before sowing, the seeds should be carefully selected. Pour the seeds into 40% salt water and remove the floating, plump-less and pest-damaged seeds. Sun the seeds for 2~3 days before sowing to increase seed vitality and promote earlier emergence. In plots where peas have never been planted, inoculating with rhizobia at sowing time can increase pea yield.
3. Water and fertilizer
The place for planting peas should be a field with good soil fertility, sufficient sunlight and convenient irrigation. Before planting, choose a compound fertilizer and apply it into the holes, and in the subsequent growth period apply additional fertilizer reasonably according to the growth of the peas.
Peas are relatively sensitive to water during the flowering and pod-setting period, so water should be supplemented in time. Usually the number of waterings and the amount of water should be arranged according to soil moisture and the season. In summer, the number of waterings should be increased, while in the rainy season drainage measures need to be done well to avoid waterlogging and root rot and similar phenomena.
4. Cold protection
During intertillage, earth up the soil to protect the roots and prevent cold. In cold areas, during overwintering, a layer of rice straw can be scattered on the bed surface or old film can be used to cover it, protecting the seedlings so they overwinter safely.
5. Harvesting
The harvesting time for peas also differs according to the different ways of eating them. If tender pods are to be provided, they can generally be harvested eight to ten days after the flowers fade. If the pea seeds are to be eaten, then one needs to wait until about half a month after the flowers fade. Growers can choose a suitable variety according to their own planting needs.
