GROWING GUIDE FOR PEAS
At a glance guide to growing peas
- Seedbed: Aim for a fine, firm seedbed to ensure good seed-to-soil contact and even emergence.
- Sowing Date: Drill when soil temperatures are above 5℃ and conditions allow for good seed placement.
- Nutrition: Peas generally require minimal nitrogen fertiliser but respond well to adequate P and K levels.
- Weed & Pest Control: Early weed competition can limit yield, consider pre-emergence herbicides and monitor for pea weevil.
- Harvest: Ensure even ripening and avoid pod shatter by timely combining.
