Germination Temperature (in °C)

Pea seeds germinate best at soil temperatures between 13°C to 18°C (55°F to 65°F). However, they can germinate in a broader range of 4°C to 29°C (40°F to 85°F), though germination slows significantly at the lower and higher ends. The optimal temperature for quick and healthy germination is around 24°C (75°F).

Germination Time (in Days)

• At optimal temperatures (around 24°C): 5–7 days.
• At cooler temperatures (4°C–13°C): 9–17 days.
• On average, expect 7–14 days under typical conditions.

Plant Height, Span, and Seed Sowing Depth

• Plant Height: Depends on the variety—bush peas grow 30–60 cm (1–2 feet) tall, while climbing/vining peas can reach 1.5–2.5 meters (5–8 feet).
• Span (Width): Individual plants spread about 15–30 cm (6–12 inches), though this increases with trellising for vining types.
• Seed Sowing Depth: Sow seeds 2.5–3.8 cm (1–1.5 inches) deep to ensure proper root establishment and moisture access.

Plant Spacing (in Inches or Feet)

• Inches: Space seeds or plants 2–5 inches (5–12.5 cm) apart in a row.
• For bush varieties, 2–3 inches is common; for vining types, 4–5 inches allows room for growth.

Row Spacing (in Inches or Feet)

• Inches: Rows should be spaced 12–24 inches (30–60 cm) apart.
• For double rows (common with peas), space pairs of rows 6 inches (15 cm) apart, with 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) between sets of double rows.

Trellis or Physical Support Requirement

• Bush Peas: Typically do not require support, though short stakes or cages (30–60 cm high) can help keep them upright.
• Vining/Climbing Peas: Require a trellis, stakes, or netting at least 1.5–2 meters (5–8 feet) tall. A cattle panel or bamboo structure works well to support their climbing habit.

Seed to Harvest Time (in Days or Months)

• Days: 50–70 days, depending on the variety (e.g., snap peas: 50–60 days; shelling peas: 60–70 days).
• Months: Approximately 1.5–2.5 months from sowing to harvest.

Seed to Bloom Time (in Days or Months)

• Days: 35–50 days, depending on variety and growing conditions.
• Months: About 1–1.5 months until flowers appear.

Pot Size/Container Size/Bed Size (in Inches)

• Pot Size: Minimum 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) in diameter and depth for a single plant; 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) for multiple plants.
• Container Size: A 5-gallon (19-liter) container can support 4–6 plants.
• Bed Size: For a small garden bed, 24 x 24 inches (60 x 60 cm) can accommodate 10–15 plants with proper spacing.

Soil Type (in Detail) and Ideal pH Level

• Soil Type: Well-drained, loamy soil rich in organic matter is ideal. Peas tolerate a variety of soils (sandy loam to clay loam) but dislike heavy, waterlogged soils.
• Ideal pH Level: 6.0–7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral). They can tolerate a range of 5.8–7.5 but perform best in this range.

Daily Sunlight Requirement and Light Requirement for Germination

• Daily Sunlight: 6–8 hours of full sun is ideal for growth and pod production.
• Germination: Light is not required for germination (seeds germinate underground), but consistent moisture and warmth are critical.

Water Requirement (in Liters) with Watering Intervals

• Seedling Stage (up to 15 cm): 0.5–1 liter per plant every 2–3 days.
• Growing Stage (15–60 cm): 1–2 liters per plant every 2–3 days, increasing to daily during flowering/pod formation if dry.
• Mature Stage: 2–3 liters per plant every 2–3 days, depending on weather (more in hot, dry conditions). Avoid waterlogging.

Essential Nutrients and Organic Fertilizers

• Nutrients:
  • Nitrogen (N): 2–3% (peas fix their own nitrogen via root bacteria).
  • Phosphorus (P): 4–5% for root and pod development.
  • Potassium (K): 3–4% for overall vigor.
• Organic Fertilizers:
  • Compost: Provides N, P, K, and micronutrients.
  • Well-rotted manure: Rich in N and organic matter.
  • Bone meal: High in P (up to 15%).
  • Wood ash: Supplies K (5–10%).

Organic Fertilizer Application for Container Size

For a 5-gallon container (4–6 plants):

• Compost: 200–300 grams mixed into soil at planting; reapply 100 grams every 30 days.
• Well-rotted Manure: 150–200 grams at planting; 50 grams every 45 days.
• Bone Meal: 20–30 grams at planting; 10 grams every 60 days.
• Wood Ash: 10–15 grams at planting; 5 grams every 60 days.

 Chemical Fertilizer Requirement and Application Rate

• Fertilizer: Use a balanced NPK fertilizer like 10-10-10 or low-N 5-10-10 (since peas fix nitrogen).
• Application Rate:
  • Seedlings (up to 15 cm): 5–10 grams per plant at planting.
  • Growing (15–60 cm): 10–15 grams per plant every 30 days.
  • Mature (>60 cm): 15–20 grams per plant every 30 days during pod production.

Companion Plants

• Carrots, radishes, lettuce, spinach, cucumbers, and beans (enhance growth and deter pests).
• Avoid: Onions, garlic, and other alliums (may stunt pea growth).

Fruit Taste (Pods/Peas)

• Taste: Sweet and crisp (snap/snow peas) or mildly sweet and tender (shelling peas).
• Rating: 8/10 for fresh peas/pods.

Leaf Taste

• Taste: Pea shoots/leaves are mildly sweet and grassy (edible in young stages).
• Rating: 7/10 for tenderness and flavor.

Pest Types, Chemical, and Organic Control

• Pests:
  • Aphids: Imidacloprid; Organic: Neem oil or insecticidal soap.
  • Pea Weevil: Carbaryl; Organic: Row covers, hand-picking.
  • Cutworms: Permethrin; Organic: Collars around stems, diatomaceous earth.
• Apply chemicals as per label; organic methods weekly or as needed.

 Disease Types, Chemical, and Organic Control

• Diseases:
  • Powdery Mildew: Fungicide (Sulfur); Organic: Baking soda spray (1 tsp/liter water).
  • Root Rot: Captan; Organic: Improve drainage, avoid overwatering.
  • Fusarium Wilt: Fungicide (Thiophanate-methyl); Organic: Crop rotation, resistant varieties.
• Use chemicals per instructions; organic methods preventatively or at early signs.

How to Identify Mature Fruit

• Pods are bright green, firm, and plump (snap/snow peas edible whole; shelling peas have rounded, filled seeds). Harvest when pods are 5–10 cm long, before they yellow or toughen.

Average Crop Yield per Square Foot (Estimated)

• 0.1–0.2 kg (100–200 grams) per square foot, depending on variety and conditions.

Ideal Potting Mix for Pea Plant (Bangladeshi Climate)

To create an optimal potting mix for growing pea plants (Pisum sativum) in a Bangladeshi climate, we need to consider the plant’s preferences: well-drained, nutrient-rich, loamy soil with good moisture retention, aeration, and a pH range of 6.0–7.0. The Bangladeshi climate varies from cool, dry winters (ideal for peas) to hot, humid summers and a monsoon season, so the mix should support growth during the cooler months (e.g., February–March) while ensuring drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Composition and Percentages:

• Loamy Soil – 40%
• Cow Dung Compost – 20%
• Vermicompost – 15%
• Coconut Coir Dust – 10%
• Brown River Sand – 10%
• Bone Meal – 3%
• Oyster Shell Powder – 2%

Optional Additives (Adjust as Needed):

• Water: Add gradually to achieve a moist but not soggy consistency (like a wrung-out sponge).
• Epsom Salt: Add 1 teaspoon (5g) per 5-gallon pot at planting if magnesium deficiency appears (yellowing leaves).

Preparation Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Components: Combine loamy soil (40%), cow dung compost (20%), vermicompost (15%), coconut coir dust (10%), brown river sand (10%), bone meal (3%), and oyster shell powder (2%) in a large container or on a tarp. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
2. Moisture Balance: Gradually add water while mixing until the blend feels moist but not waterlogged. Test by squeezing: it should hold shape but not drip excessively.
3. Rest: Let the mix sit for 1–2 days to stabilize microbial activity and pH.
4. Fill Pots: Use in pots (e.g., 8–12 inches deep) or beds, leaving 1 inch of space at the top for watering.
