Main Points
Pea growers can increase yields by following a set of proven practices. First, seeds should be soaked for no longer than 12 hours before planting. Peas serve as an effective cover crop, enriching soil with nitrogen and loosening the soil, so they should not be overused as a fertilizer. Instead, a phosphorus‑potassium fertilizer can be applied during the early vegetative stage, before flowering, and a micronutrient spray can be applied to the foliage. Pruning after the sixth leaf, when the plant reaches 25–30 cm, can boost productivity. Tall varieties require support; stakes should be installed when the plants reach 12–15 cm to maintain yield. Harvesting at the right time is crucial; picking pods from the lower branches first helps ensure that later pods mature properly.
