It is still very early in the 2022/23 market year and it is dangerous to draw too many conclusions from exports in the first few months. Markets are constantly changing, often in unpredictable ways, and it’s important to keep predictions and forecasts in check.

Pisum sativum var. macrocarpum

Part of the joy of growing Pisum sativum var. Macrocarpum in the garden is right there in the name: snow pea.

This vegetable thrives in cool weather – even snow –, producing far ahead of other garden options such as squash, tomatoes, and green beans. This crop is best planted at the tail end of winter, about a month before the last frost.

Germination

Germination occurs when pea seeds absorb water and begin to germinate. Seeds contain small amounts of nutrients and moisture that allow them to start growing after being planted in the soil. When seeds are planted in moist soil, they absorb water through capillary action. As the seed absorbs water, the inner embryo begins to swell and form root hairs. Root hairs help the seed absorb more water and nutrients.

Once the seedlings have developed enough roots, they can use the energy stored in the cotyledons (the first true leaves) to photosynthesize food for themselves. Within 24 hours, the radicle (the first root hair) extends from the seed and forms a taproot. The primary root then sends out secondary roots and develops into a taproot. After about two weeks, the stem elongates, and leaf buds appear. The advantage of this stage is that the plant now has access to both light and nutrients.

How to Choose the Right Container for Growing Green Peas in Containers

Green Pea Plant.

• Green peas grow well in all types of containers with a good drainage system with 2 to 3 holes.
• And the container should hold between 8 and 10 gallons of soil.
• The minimum depth of the container should be between 12 inches and a width of 7 to 8 inches.
• Deeper containers are recommended for growing peas.
• You can choose wide wooden boxes, clay pots, patio bags, plastic bag, wooden barrels, etc. Any recycled containers are used to grow peas.

How many Peas does one plant produce?

Usually, pea plants produce 5 or 6 peas per pod. Suppose the Pea plant had five pods and a total of 26 Peas. The average yield is 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes per hectare. The result is Peas in pods on average of 5 or 6 tons of pods per hectare. Edible peas usually have 3 to 5 tonnes of beans per hectare.

• The time to sow pea seeds depends on the cultivated area. The sowing of rabies season usually starts from October to November in the plains of India. In the hills, it will be from mid-March to the end of May. It is best to sow seeds in the first week of November to achieve higher yields.
• In India, winter is a great time to start planting peas. They tend to have a slightly cooler climate but nowhere near frost. Also, if you want a steady and fresh supply of Peas in your garden, plant every two or three weeks.
• Peas are very easy to grow, but their growing period is short. It is essential to plant them early enough in the spring so that they ripen while the weather is still cool.
• Plant peas during the mild season in early spring when the soil temperature reaches 8°C. Once spaced, plant young Peas in an area 5 inches apart in plenty of sunny, fertile, well-drained soil. Improve your native soil by mixing in several inches of aged manure or other rich organic material.
