The best varieties of sweet peas

Peas are an annual herb that is widespread, both in industrial crops and in household plots. This crop is an excellent predecessor for almost all agricultural crops. The presence of nitrogen-fixing bacteria on the roots allows pea plants to absorb atmospheric nitrogen during the growing season, which has a positive effect on soil fertility. In addition, pea fruit is of great value as a raw material for the food industry. The varieties of this culture differ in many characteristics and have a large assortment. However, on the territory of the Russian Federation, the most widespread varieties are vegetable, sugar and early ripening groups.

Sweet peas

Pea varieties of this group are distinguished by excellent taste. In the process of cultivation, the varieties are unpretentious. Grown products are used with great success in the food industry, fresh and canned. In addition, it should be remembered that the whole sweet shoulder blade is eaten as a whole, since there is no parchment layer in the valves of the beans.

Site selection and soil preparation

For growing peas of the Moscow Delicatessen variety, ordinary chernozems are most suitable.You can not sow peas in areas with a close occurrence of groundwater and with insufficient illumination. The best precursors for growing this variety are early cabbage and potatoes. After harvesting the predecessor in the fall, the soil is cultivated by 12-15 cm. In the spring, the soil is leveled with the simultaneous removal of wintering weeds.

Sowing

Before sowing, pea seeds must be re-sorted by removing beans with an unnatural color and odor. Sowing should be done in late March - early April. Early sowing of peas most effectively uses soil moisture and is less damaged by diseases and pests. It is necessary to sow peas in an ordinary way with a row spacing of 15 and 30 cm. About 15-18 seeds should be sown per linear meter. The seeding depth depends on the type of soil. On ordinary chernozems, the depth of planting seeds is 6-8 cm, and on sandy soils, peas should be sown to a depth of 4-6 cm. After sowing, the soil surface must be compacted.

Crop care

Caring for crops of this variety of peas consists of the following activities:

1. Loosening the soil. It is carried out as the weeds grow. Perennial weeds with a powerful root system are especially dangerous. The processing depth should be 3-5 cm.

Today, there are three main varieties of sowing peas:

• shelling (Pisum sativum convar. sativum) - these are peas with spherical smooth seeds and a high content of parchment in the pod. When ripe, its peas contain a large amount of starch and are eaten only after boiling or stewing. They are also used in the chemical industry for the production of bioplastics. Unripe pea seeds are eaten fresh, but they quickly overripe and become mealy;
• cerebral (Pisum sativum convar. medullare) - its distinguishing feature is the high (6–9%) sugar content in peas that shrivel after ripening. At the stage of technical ripeness, they have excellent taste and are often used for conservation and freezing. Ripe seeds of brain varieties are unsuitable for making soups and cereals, as they retain their hardness even after prolonged heat treatment;
• sugar (Pisum sativum convar.axiphium) - it is characterized by small, rounded peas and a soft, juicy pod, practically free of parchment. Whole beans with underdeveloped seeds are eaten.

The best varieties of peas

Today there are many varieties of peas that differ from each other not only in the type of fruit, but also in the ripening period, the size of the bush and other characteristics. From this variety, each gardener can choose the crop that is most suitable for his site.

For open ground

Peas do not need a lot of heat, so they are most often grown outdoors. Almost all varieties are suitable for this, but high-yielding and unpretentious representatives, not prone to lodging and shedding seeds, are in maximum demand. These qualities are especially important in industrial cultivation.

Leafless pea varieties are great for outdoor planting. Due to the large number of antennae replacing the leaves, the plants adhere tightly to each other and do not need to install supports, which greatly simplifies their care and saves the gardener's efforts.
