Correct pinching

It is important to carry out this procedure on time, it is necessary for the culture under study. Thanks to her, the plant becomes more lush, more ovaries appear. In addition to the main shoot, lateral ones will form, they will also have peduncles.

Pinching is needed for young plants that have not yet reached their maximum size. A sunny day is ideal for the procedure. It is recommended to start pinching in the early morning, so the daytime sun rays can dry the broken off tip. This is necessary to reduce the risk of disease.

When lateral shoots appear on the culture, it is recommended to pinch them too. Thus, more pods will form on the bush, due to which it will become more luxuriant.

During the implementation of such a trick, it is important to keep in mind that an increase in the volume of the bush will contribute to the formation of a large number of ovaries. This will affect the ripening time of the pods, this process will take a little longer than before. In such a situation, it will be appropriate to use several beds for growing peas and plant the crop at different times.

And in order to prolong the fruiting of peas and harvest from the garden at different times, you can pinch only half of the plants in the garden, while shortening only part of the lateral processes.

Crop care rules

Tapestries are the best support for peas. You can put low pegs and pull twine or rope over them. Due to this, the plant during development will rely on the structure and inside the garden a favorable microclimate will be formed, contributing to the rapid growth of culture and obtaining high-quality harvest. Each planting will be ventilated, and the pods will not touch the ground, so the risk of disease and rot will disappear.

Supporting the crop allows the grower to have access to the soil. In order for the root system to receive enough oxygen, the soil must be regularly loosened and freed from pest plants. If you do not build the supports on time, the peas will end up on the ground, which will significantly reduce the amount of the future harvest, the gardener will not have access to the aisles, and it will be difficult to harvest the fruits.

You should plant peas in the same bed for two seasons in a row. Thanks to this, the plant will give a more bountiful harvest in the second year. During the first season, a large number of microorganisms necessary for peas will accumulate in the soil, which will favorably affect the plant in the second year.

To protect the crop from attacks of pests and various diseases, you can grow peas in special containers. Plants are first kept indoors, and then exposed outside, which activates their development. If you grow a crop in this way, you need to monitor the condition of the earthen coma. It is important not to allow the soil to dry out, this will negatively affect the plants.
