The latest points for attention in the cultivation of peas

Pea has a long history in China, and it is one of the most important crops in China, and it is also a very popular vegetable in the market. Its growth cycle is short, the taste is excellent, in most cases it is spring sowing and summer harvest or autumn sowing and autumn harvest, so what should we pay attention to when planting peas? Let's have a look with the editor.

1. Soil conditions

Peas do not have high requirements for soil and are suitable for all kinds of soil growth, but when growing on acidic soil, lime or plant ash is needed to adjust acidity. It should also be noted that peas and continuous cropping generally require 4-5 years of rotation on the same plot in order to provide better soil conditions for their growth. Before planting, dig deep into the soil and apply organic fertilizer, farm manure or other fertilizers to provide sufficient nutrients for plant growth.

2. Sowing seeds

The seeds need to be germinated before sowing, and the seeds are first selected with salt water with a concentration of about 40%, so as to help remove some inferior species and insect pests. Then it starts to sprout, wait until its young buds come out, place it in a low temperature of 0-2 degrees, and sow seeds about half a month later. The time of sowing must be grasped, which is related to the yield. Generally, the sowing time in spring is from April to May, while the sowing time for overwintering is generally from October to November. When sowing in winter, we should pay attention to that if the sowing is too early, the plants will be frozen and die before the winter cold spell, causing the growers to suffer losses.

3. Ploughing and weeding

Pea root distribution is shallow, so the absorption is weak, so to do a good job of weeding, once found that weeds must be pulled out, it is best to use manual pulling, when pulling grass to squat in the furrow, can not step on the stems and leaves of the plant. In addition, proper mid-tillage can loosen the soil, promote the root growth of the plant, and be beneficial to the growth and development of the plant.

4. Fertilizer and water management

As mentioned earlier, the root distribution of pea is relatively shallow, so it is not resistant to drought, so in order to achieve high yield, fertilizer and water management is very important. You can also apply some dung water and absorb peas as much as possible, but you should be careful not to apply thick fertilizer so as not to burn roots, use clear manure and manure as far as possible, and use some compound fertilizer in the case of insufficient manure and fertilizer. watering in time after topdressing.
