2. Pea cultivation techniques and methods in Taiwan

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 can be used. PH value is slightly acidic or neutral. Before sowing, the soil should be tilled to one side to ensure that the soil is permeable to drainage. And the land has not been planted with leguminous crops within one year, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases. The land should be fully applied with base fertilizer, and the amount of base fertilizer depends on the situation.

2. Seed selection and sowing

Pea seeds should be selected disease-free seeds or sterilized before sowing, air-dried before sowing, so as to reduce the incidence of disease. In the Yangtze River Basin, most of the seeds are planted in autumn, but also after the beginning of spring, mainly to avoid the high temperature and rainy season in summer in the south, to avoid uncontrollable conditions, in South China, seeds are planted around the beginning of autumn, and careful care can be harvested in winter or spring.

3. Field management

At least 2-3 times of weeding should be done between sowing and harvesting to promote root growth and absorption capacity and reduce competitive pressure on roots. If there is no high temperature and little rain, it should be irrigated in time to promote the germination speed of seeds. Soil moisture should not be too high after emergence. Prevention and treatment of stagnant water will root rot. However, if it encounters rainy weather and continuous rain, it is necessary to drain the water in time, keep the soil humidity moderate, and prevent it from being too wet and dry, causing flowers and fruits to fall.

4. Disease control

The main diseases of pea are powdery mildew and downy mildew. Before sowing, seeds can be immersed in chemicals for disinfection. After sowing, carbendazim and metalaxyl can be sprayed for control. If there are diseased plants, they should be removed immediately and burned together with other sick and disabled bodies to reduce the source of infection and bacteria. Pay attention to the sanitation and humidity of the garden. Weeds should be removed in time. Improper control of temperature and humidity is also one of the important reasons affecting the breeding of bacteria.

III. Precautions for pea cultivation in Taiwan
