2. Important vegetable crop grown all over the world
Grown as winter crop in India
Highly nutritive and rich source of protein 7%
Used as fresh vegetable, canned or dehydrated
The average yield in India is 6.12t/ha

3. Soil and Climate
Well drained loamy soil with optimum pH range of 6 -7.5
is ideal
Thrives well in cool weather
Withstands low temperature at the seedling stage
Grows best at a temperature of 10-18 0C
Optimum temperature for seed germination 22 0C

4. Season
Central plains – Oct. - Nov.
Northern hills – Jun. - Jul.
Seed rate
Early crop 100-120 kg ha -1
Mid and late crop 80-90 kg ha -1

6. Ooty 1:
Crop duration of 90 days
Dwarf type with yield potential of 11.9 t/ha
Resistant to white fly
Bonneville:
It is very popular variety in India
Introduced from USA
Yield 10t/ha, susceptible to powdery
mildew

Arka Ajit:
Released from IIHR, Bangalore
Resistant to powdery mildew and rust
Yield 10t/ha in 90 days
Jawahar Matar - 2:
Bigger size pods
Yield 10-12t/ha
Susceptible to powdery
mildew

8. Contd…
UN 53 :
Snap pea (whole pod edible)
From IIHR- Bangluru
Yield 8- 9 t/ ha
Duration- 90 days

11. Seed treatment
Treat the seeds with Trichoderma 4 g/kg or Thiram or
Captan at 2 g/kg of seed
To avoid seed borne diseases
Apply 2 kg Phosphobacterium as soil application
before sowing
11
12. Land preparation
Thorough preparation of the land is necessary for pea
crop for better growth
This fix large quantity of atmospheric nitrogen to soil
This is achieved by soil turning plough followed by
one or two harrowing
12
13. Methods of sowing
Broadcasting
Behind the country plough
By dibbling
Spacing
Early varieties 30 cm x 5-10 cm
Mid and late varieties 45 cm x 10 cm
13
14. Irrigation
Do not irrigate the crop immediately after sowing
Results in poor germination due to formation of hard crust
Life saving irrigation is given on 3rd day after sowing
Irrigation is done once in a week
critical stages for irrigation are flowering, fruit set and grain
filling stage
14
15. Manuring
FYM 20 t/ha
N - 60 kg /ha, P2O5 - 80 kg/ha and K2O - 70 kg K/ha as
basal dose
apply N - 60 kg /ha on 30 days after sowing
Foliar sprays of ammonium molybdate 0.1% at flowering
Increased yield and quality
15
16. After cultivation
Weeding:
Done 15 days after sowing
Subsequent weeding is done as and when necessary
Pre-sowing application of Basalin 3 lit/ha
Staking:
Most important operation especially for tall varieties
Stake the plants on 30 days after sowing
16
18. Harvesting
Peas must be harvested at proper stage of pod maturity
Early varieties in 50days after sowing
Mid and late varieties in 60-75days after sowing
Maturity of pea tested with Tenderometer
18
20. Contd….
Delayed harvesting leads to fibrous pod
Its bring down the market value of the produce
Higher temperature at harvest affects quality
Yield
Early varieties: 2.5-4t/ha
Mid-varieties: 6-7.5t/ha
Late varieties: 8-10t/ha
20
21. Storage
Peas are perishable and get heated easily in storage
Fresh unshelled peas are kept at 00 C and 90-95%
RH for 2 weeks
Pods freezes at -10 0C
Shelling percentage ranged from 35-50%
21
23. Pest incidence
Pod borer: Heliothes sp.
Symptoms:
Larvae feed on foliage and pod
Destroys buds, flowers, and pods
Management:
Spray Carbaryl 50 WP at 2 g/lit
23
24. Pea aphid: Acyrthosiphon pisum
Symptoms:
Adults and nymphs suck sap from leaves
Leaves turn yellowish green and wilt
Management
Spray Phosphamidon at 1 ml/lit
Contd…
Pea aphids24
25. Disease incidence
Powdery mildew : Erysiphe polygoni
Symptoms:
Appears as on foliage and pods
First small slightly darkened areas, later become
white powdery spots
Spots enlarge and cover entire leaf area
Infected leaves become chloratic and distorted
