Peas, planting and care in the open ground and in the greenhouse. Correct planting of peas in the country in spring in the open ground
Nothing is easier than growing ona household plot of peas. Planting and care in the open ground are absolutely elementary and do not require any serious effort from the gardener. The culture is extremely loyal to soils and weather conditions, therefore almost always yields an impressive harvest.
Peas, planting and cultivation: preparatory work
Peas must be prepared for planting and growing. Begin this process by sorting the seeds. To determine the quality of the material in one liter of boiled warm water dissolve a tablespoon of salt. Then, peas are placed in this liquid for 2-3 hours. Surfaced specimens are collected and discarded, and those left on the bottom are left for sowing in the soil.
Correct planting of peas in the country in the spring
Correct planting of peas in the country in spring is reduced to the following simple actions:
Seeds selected for cultivation are soaked for 14-16 hours in water at room temperature. Every 3-4 hours the fluid is changed. This allows the peas to swell and quickly penetrate into the soil.
Sow peas immediately in the open ground and only inthe time when the possibility of recurrent frosts is completely excluded. The culture easily tolerates a short cooling to -5 ° C, but a more radical decrease in temperature on it has a disastrous effect. Peas planted in the period from 15 to 30 April, under favorable conditions, gives the first harvest in July. Later planting (end of May or the first ten days of June) does not bear fruit until mid-August.
For peas take away the windless and sunny placeswith nutritious, fertile land. To the soil the plant does not put forward practically any requirements and normally fructifies both on light and heavy soils with weakly acidic PH-index. To increase the yield of agrarians with experience, they advise early in the fall to fertilize the land under peas with nitrogen-saturated preparations and qualitative humus.
On the site allocated for peas, make grooves with a depth of 5 to 8 centimeters. The passage between them should be approximately 50 centimeters.
Prepared grooves are well spilled, and thennecessarily make a suitable fertilizer: a mixture of compost and ash with a layer of about 2 centimeters or superphosphate. Preparations are sprinkled with earth, and already planting seed is laid out.
The optimal volume for sowing is 15 peas per 1 m of trench. Seeds are located at a distance of 6-7 centimeters from each other.
On top of the pea, the soil is carefully covered with earth and compacted a little to preserve the moisture necessary for rapid germination.
If a large number ofbirds, landing necessarily covered with a polyethylene film with good light transmission capacity. Otherwise, there is a great risk that feathered guests will simply take the whole crop off.
In warm dry weather, the first shoots will appear in a week, with a cool and cloudy - in 10-12 days.
Further care is traditional for many vegetablecrops: moderate watering, regular loosening of the soil, mandatory weed removal and planned top dressing (complex fertilizer for vegetables once every 20 days).
Peas: planting in a greenhouse, reproduction
Planting of peas in a greenhouse is carried out in order,to get the earliest harvest. Usually, special sugar varieties are chosen for this purpose, intended for growing on a green spatula. In the leaves of such fruits there is no hard inner layer, and the taste is marked by a pronounced sweetness. The leaves of the pea are mutated into a mustache. Fruits are rich in iodine, zinc, iron, etc. A variation of a one-year sweet pea is a long-standing rank.
In a heated greenhouse, the inoculum is sownin late February or early March at the rate of 110-120 peas per 1 m². The room is regularly ventilated in order to reduce the humidity. Otherwise plants will be affected by powdery mildew and part of the crop will die. For all other parameters, the cultivation of peas in the greenhouse is no different from cultivation in the open ground.
Diseases and pests of peas: leaf-roll or pea moth, pea aphid.
