Requirement of Irrigations in Pea

27/09/2018

Requirement of Irrigations in Pea:-

For proper germination, pre sowing irrigation is must if the soils are dry.
Normally 2-3 irrigation is needed for mid season peas or late sown peas.
Moisture stress at flowering and subsequent pod filling stage is most undesirable affecting the yield and quality of pods.

Spacing and Seed Rate of Pea

17/09/2018

Spacing and Seed Rate of Pea:-

The spacing of 10 c.m. from plant to plant is ideal.
The seeds should be sown 2-3 cm deep in the soil.
The row to row distance should be 30 cm.
About 100 kg seed is enough for a hectare.

Suitable climate for pea cultivation

10/08/2018

Suitable climate for pea cultivation:-

Garden Pea is widely grown in different seasons under varied agro climate conditions.
It requires cold and dry climate while longer cold spell increases its yield.
Temperature of 15-25 °C is favorable for its cultivation.

Pea Pod Borer:- The larva of this insect cuts the pedicel of the flower and feeds on the stalk. Single larva damages many flower stalks. The larva feed on the leaves initially stage then bore in to the basal portion of stalks and inter the pod feeds on soft grains.

Management:- Plough deeply, Clean cultivation to expose the resting pupae. Trap cropping with crops likes Tomato and destroying them when the population is high and mechanically remove the adults and larvae from the trap crop. Use of inter crops like maize cow pea and brinjal significantly helps in reducing the pest population. Install the bird perches in the field. Application of HaNPV at the rate of 100 LE per acre along with 0.5 % jiggery and 0.1% boric acid at egg hatch stage and repeat at 15-20 days. Use of chemicals should comprise 2.00 ml profenophos 50 EC per litre of water as ovicides. Spraying neem seed kernel extract 5% in the early stage. If the infestation is sevre, spraying 0.5 ml Indoxacarb 14.5% SC or 0.1 ml Spinosad 45 SC or 2.5 ml Chlorpyriphos 20 EC can be applied.

Nutrient Management in Pea

06/11/2017

Nutrient Management in Pea:

A basal dose of 30 kg N per hectare at planting is sufficient for stimulating early growth.

Higher dose of nitrogen has adverse effect on nodulation fixation.
The crop gives good response to phosphorus application as it favours nitrogen fixation by increasing nodule formation. It also increases yield and quality of pea.
Potassic fertilizers also have effect in increasing the yield and nitrogen fixation ability of the plant.

General Recommendations:

General recommended fertilizer doses depend upon the:

Fertility of soil and amount of organic manure applied to the crop.
Sowing conditions: Whether field is irrigated or rainfed?
If the crop is rainfed, doses become just half.

How much to apply?

15-20 t/ha of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil.
For the better yield in pea use 10 kg Urea, 50 kg DAP, 15 kg MOP and 6 kg Sulphur 90% per acre during the land preparation use the half quantity of urea and the full quantity of remain fertilizer and remaining quantity of urea used in two split doses during the irrigation.

Manures and fertilizers in Peas

17/10/2017

Normally 20 tones FYM should be mixed in the field approximately 1.5 months before sowing. 25 kg nitrogen 70 kg phosphorus 50 kg potash should be used per hectare. Make a mixture of fertilizers and 5 cm from the line of seed and 5 cm Under the surface of the seed should be given in the ridge at the time of sowing.

Management of Stem fly in Pea

14/10/2017

Avoid sowing of the crop earlier than mid-October to check the attack of the pest. Remove and destroy all the affected branches during the initial stages of attack. Sowing the crop in the second fortnight of October to escape the damage of the pest. Apply 7.5 kg of phorate 10G or 25 kg of carbofuran 3 G per ha in furrows at the time of sowing. On the crop, spray three times 750 ml of oxydemeton methyl 25 EC in 750 L of water per ha. The first application should be just after germination and the other two at an interval of 2 weeks each.

Pea seed rate and sowing

25/09/2017

Pea seed rate and sowing: – Seed rate: – For Early – 100 to 120 kg of seeds should be used per hectare . For mid and late 80-90 kg seeds should be used per hectare. Seed treatment: The seeds treated with rhizobium culture add more yield of peas and land fertility strength is also increased. Before sowing, the seed should be purified by the rate of 2.5 gm of Carbendazim 50% per kg seed. Sowing time: – It is sown between October to November.
