In this video, expected rate of peas has been highlighted for the year 2022.
Peas (Pisum sativum) is one of the most important vegetables of Pakistan and its remains available in the market almost all round the year. In this video, we have suggested the best suited time for profitable cultivation of this crop as vegetable in different peas production districts of Punjab. Very early sowing of peas has been restricted in most parts due to high temperature. Under the scenario of changing climate particularly onset of proper monsoon rainfall this year, it has been suggested that early varieties of Meteor and Lina Pak may be sown during the last week of September in north Punjab, mid October to 1st week of November in the central Punjab and During the entire month of November in the south Punjab.
Peas are considered as very important vegetable crop of Punjab. Its early crop is more profitable. In this video, we have suggested the farmers of Rice zone to plant Peas in moist soil after Rice crop using 80kg to 100kg of seed through broadcast method and avoid irrigation throughout its lifespan. This barani type cultivation of early Peas may fetch enough profit without initiation of foot rot disease of Peas.
Production technology relies heavily on the local weather conditions of an area. Suitable weather conditions support the higher yield and production of different crops. Despite of using lesser amount of fertilizers like dap , sop and urea fertilizer, rain water compensates the deficiency of different major micro nutrients.
Peas are an important vegetable crop in Pakistan. No doubt pre-emergence spray of herbicides provides fairly satisfactory weed control for 1st month in this crop. Their residual effect does not live longer than 40 days and Dumbi sitti (Phalaris minor) regerminates and poses severe threat during winter season. I conducted a research trial on post emergence grassy weed control at the private seed farm of Director Vegetable Research Institute Faisalabad. Post emergence herbicide like Axial (Penoxaden) of Syngenta @ 330ml per acre was found as the most effective for the safe post emergence control of Dumbi sitti and most grasses from the seed crop of peas. Weed management is an essential factor in successful production technology of Peas crop. If weeds are not controlled in time, it can reduce the overall yield of the crop. Use of efficient and proper herbicide is the only technique that can increase production of our crop.
