Key Technical Points and Management Methods for Growing Garden Peas

Site selection: choose fertile, deep soil that drains well and can meet the growth and development needs of garden peas. Variety selection: choose excellent varieties according to the local growing environment; the pod-eating type and the seed-eating type are relatively common. Sowing density: tall plants should be spaced appropriately wider, short plants appropriately closer.

Garden Pea Growing Techniques

1. Land preparation and fertilization

Choose disease-resistant varieties and a plot that is easy to water. Apply 1000 kg of farmyard manure per mu plus 5-10 kg of urea, 5-10 kg of potash fertilizer, and 30-40 kg of phosphate fertilizer as base fertilizer in the bottom of the trench. After applying the fertilizer in the trench, backfill with 2-3 cm of fine soil, leaving a trench depth of 2-4 cm ready for watering and sowing.

2. Timely sowing

Planting from the end of October to mid-November is more suitable. For drilling, the row spacing is 110 cm. Before sowing, mixing the seed with New High Lipid Film can repel underground pests and diseases. To retain moisture, the sowing trench should be somewhat concave, and the sowing trench should be covered with 50 cm plastic film. After the seeds are sown, cover with 2 to 3 cm of soil, then spray New High Lipid Film to keep warm and preserve moisture, prevent the soil from caking, and improve the seed emergence rate.

3. Field management

Timely cultivate and weed, set up trellises to guide the vines, and strengthen water and fertilizer management. Before flowering, watering should mostly be used, and waterlogging must be avoided; do not use flooding irrigation or slow irrigation with a small amount of water. At the same time, before the snow pea flowers, spray Caiguo Zhuangdiling to improve pollen quality, enhance the cyclic fruit-setting rate, and increase nutrient delivery, so there are no empty pods or shriveled seeds, enabling the snow pea to achieve continuous, stable, high-quality yields.

4. Pest and disease control

During the snow pea growing period, the main pests and diseases include brown spot, anthracnose, powdery mildew, and rust. According to plant protection requirements, spray 50% thiophanate-methyl 600-fold solution, 50% carbendazim, and other agents for control.

5. Timely harvesting

Generally about 10 days after flowering, when the pods have fully grown and are plump without showing the seeds, fresh and green, they should be harvested in time to reduce the supply of nutrients to the pods, promote the growth of the upper stems and vines and flowering and pod setting, and increase yield.
