Planting time: Snow peas are generally planted in winter, mainly from late October to mid-November. Site selection and preparation: The soil for planting snow peas should not be acidic. After selecting the land, the soil should be plowed deeply in time. Seed selection and seedling cultivation: Select good varieties, germinate them before planting, then dry them, sow one seed every 20 centimeters, then cover with soil and water. If you feel the planting is too dense after germination, you can thin out the seedlings. Also pay attention to fertilization and water management.

1. Planting time

Snow peas are generally planted in winter, mainly from late October to mid-November. If you sow at this time, you can harvest from April to May of the following year. Whether the snow pea is sown too early or too late, it is not conducive to its growth. Sowing too early will easily cause it to grow vigorously before winter and be frozen to death during the cold wave. Sowing too late will cause its root system to be insufficiently developed and harvested the following year. Low Yield.

2. Site selection and preparation

Snow peas have strong adaptability and do not have high requirements for soil. Just pay attention to the pH value. It cannot be planted in acidic soil. You must choose a good site based on this, and then plow the soil deeply in time to improve the looseness and air permeability of the soil, and apply sufficient base fertilizer.

3. Selection and breeding of seedlings

To select suitable, superior snow pea varieties, soak the seeds in water for eight to twelve hours the day before planting. Then dry it, sow one seed every twenty centimeters using on-demand method, then cover it with soil and water it thoroughly. During this period, keep the temperature between ten and eighteen degrees Celsius. Generally, you can see the seeds sprouting after three to five days. If you feel that the planting is too dense after germination, you can thin out the seedlings so that there is a distance of more than 20 centimeters between each seedling.

4. Fertilization method

Before sowing, it is necessary to apply 2,500 grams of organic fertilizer, 20 kilograms of urea and 40 kilograms of potassium sulfate per acre of land. In the later stage, if the growth is relatively good and the planting density is relatively high, you can apply appropriate top dressing two or three times, which can be done when it is sprouting vines and forming pods. In addition, at different stages of its growth, it requires different fertilizers, mainly phosphorus, potash and nitrogen fertilizers. Fertilizers must be adjusted in time to supplement nutrients according to its growth conditions.

5. Moisture management

Snow peas The demand for water is relatively large throughout the growth period, and only sufficient water supply can make it grow vigorously. However, if you water too much, root rot and seed rot will occur. Therefore, we must be careful about watering, control the time and amount of watering, and judge whether to water based on the moisture of the soil. It should be noted that watering is not necessary until the snow peas have flower buds.
