Crop management
First, a fasrmers should grow peas s a spring and fall crop and harvest before it gets hot and this should be done by sowing seed 2-4 weeks before last frost datw for spring peas. Peas start getting damaged when temperatures drop to 30 degrees fahrein height and germination takes 10-14 days and always there is a need to protect them from frost.
Similarly, because freezing causes pea pods to rapture and burst, when planting fall peas, soak seeds for days to maturity and add 14 days to get a buffer for germination. sow pea seeds directly into ground using over seeding method planting at a spacing of 15cm by 30 cm at 2.5 cm depth.
Make holes and place more than one seed in each hole for perfect germination and fertilize plants at 3 key intervals which include at sowing, thining and also water the garden well to moisten the fertilizer to start decomposition process andalso apply more fertilizer when blooms appear or during flowering.
Finally, thin the pea plants after germination.
