How to plant pea seeds? What are the ways?

When planting peas, the most important thing is the seeds. In general, all varieties of peas can be directly used as seeds, and the ones with high utilization rate are green peas. The seeds are spherical and have good disease resistance and high germination rate. Peas are nutritious and convenient to grow. When planting, you should leave the fuller ones to make seeds, and you can keep your own seeds to facilitate next planting.

The specific planting methods are as follows:

1. Land selection and preparation

Pea fields should be flat and easy to drain. The soil should be rich in nutrients, sandy loam or clay, and the PH value is slightly sour or neutral. The land should be ploughed to one side before sowing to ensure the permeability and drainage of the soil. And the land has not planted legume crops within a year, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases, the land should be fully fertilized, and the amount of base fertilizer depends on the situation.

2. Seed selection and sowing

Pea seeds should choose disease-free seeds or disinfect the seeds before sowing and sow them after air-drying, in order to reduce the incidence of disease. Friends in the Yangtze River basin mostly sow seeds in autumn, or they can sow seeds after the Beginning of Spring, mainly to avoid the high temperature and rainy season in summer in the south, to avoid situations that are difficult to control, and in South China, sowing seeds before and after the Beginning of Autumn. Careful care can be harvested in winter or spring.

3. Field management

Weeds should be removed at least 2-3 times from sowing to harvest to promote root growth and absorptive capacity and reduce the competitive pressure on roots. If there is no high temperature and little rain before emergence, it should be irrigated in time to promote the speed of seed germination and emergence. After emergence, the soil moisture should not be too high. Prevent stagnant water and rot the roots. However, if you encounter rainy weather, continuous rain, but also to timely discharge of water, to maintain moderate soil moisture, to prevent too wet and dry, causing flowers and fruits to fall.

4. Disease control

The main diseases of pea are powdery mildew and downy mildew, and the seeds can be disinfected with chemicals before sowing. After sowing, carbendazim and metalaxyl can be sprayed for control. If a diseased plant occurs, it should be pulled out and burned together with other diseased remains immediately, reduce the source of infection and bacteria, pay attention to the sanitary and wet temperature in the garden, and pull out weeds in time. Improper control of temperature and humidity is also one of the important reasons affecting the growth of bacteria.

5. Timely harvest

The harvest time is determined according to the way you eat it. Generally, peas are harvested when the seeds are full 15-18 days after flowering, dried peas are harvested at 70%-80% when the pods are withered and yellow, and vegetable peas are harvested when the young pods are not present at 12-14 days after flowering. Pea seedlings are harvested at the tip when the seedling height is 18 cm about 30 days after sowing, and those used as feed are harvested in full bloom, and those used as green manure are pressed in time after pod harvest.

Generally speaking, pea cultivation is relatively simple, in the planting process, we need to pay attention to this part of diseases and insect pests, the biggest headache for all crops, and find that there is a disease that needs to be dealt with immediately.
