Grow Desi Green Peas / Matar (دیسی مٹر) from seeds supplied by AZ Seeds & Gardening.

Green Pea (Pisum sativum) is a cool-season legume crop that develops green stems, compound leaves, climbing tendrils, flowers and pods containing developing peas.

Depending on the genetics of the seed line, pea plants may vary in height and growth habit. Because the exact cultivar and growth class of this Desi seed lot have not been separately verified, it should not automatically be classified as dwarf, semi-dwarf or tall climbing.

Providing suitable support is a practical option, particularly where plants develop a climbing habit.

May be suitable for a small number of appropriately spaced plants, depending on actual plant habit and root-zone requirements.

G-12 Grow Bag – 12 × 12 inch

Provides additional growing-medium volume and may be used with suitable support.

G-24 Grow Bag – 24 × 12 inch

Provides a wider growing area and may accommodate several appropriately spaced plants along a suitable support system.

Exact plant capacity should not be treated as fixed.

It depends on:

• Grow-bag dimensions
• Growing-medium volume
• Plant spacing
• Actual growth habit
• Support arrangement
• Irrigation
• Fertility
• General crop management

Avoid excessive overcrowding.

Recommended Soil / Growing Medium

Use a growing medium that is:

• Loose
• Well drained
• Reasonably fertile
• Well aerated
• Suitable for root development
• Capable of retaining adequate moisture without remaining saturated

A practical soil pH reference is approximately:

pH 6.0–7.5

Bhalu Mitti and properly decomposed Vermicompost may be incorporated where appropriate.

A fixed 50% Bhalu Mitti + 50% Vermicompost mixture is not compulsory.

Adjust soil amendments according to:

• Existing soil texture
• Fertility
• Drainage
• Organic-matter content
• Moisture retention
• Container size

Avoid continuously waterlogged soil.

Growing Instructions from Seeds

1. Direct Sowing

Peas are generally suitable for:

Direct sowing

Sow seeds directly into their intended growing position in prepared garden soil, raised beds or suitable grow bags.

Direct sowing also avoids unnecessary disturbance to young root systems.

2. Sowing Depth

A practical sowing depth is approximately:

4–5 cm

Cover with loose soil or growing medium and water gently.

Avoid excessive soil compaction over the seed.

3. Germination

Under suitable cool to mild conditions, seeds may generally germinate within approximately:

7–14 days

The source provides approximately 10°C and above as a useful soil-temperature reference for germination.

Avoid sowing into severely cold, saturated soil.

Actual germination time and percentage may vary according to:

• Seed age
• Seed storage
• Seed handling
• Temperature
• Soil moisture
• Sowing depth
• Growing medium
• Drainage
• Seasonal conditions

100% germination is not guaranteed.

4. Seedling Care

After germination, provide:

• Adequate sunlight
• Suitable airflow
• Reasonably consistent moisture
• Appropriate growing space
• Support where required

Young seedlings should also be monitored for locally occurring pests and physical damage.

5. Plant Spacing

A practical spacing reference is approximately:

5–8 cm between plants

when plants are being grown along an appropriate row or support system.

Actual spacing can be adjusted according to:

• Plant growth habit
• Support system
• Available growing area
• Airflow
• Cultivation method

Avoid severe overcrowding.

6. Sunlight

Provide approximately:

6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily

as a practical guideline.

Actual sunlight requirements and crop response may vary with temperature, season and local conditions.

Pakistan Sowing Season

Green Peas are primarily a cool-season crop.

For many areas of Pakistan, a practical sowing period is approximately:

November to mid-December

However, this should not be treated as a fixed nationwide planting window.

Pakistan has substantial variation in winter temperatures, so sowing time should be adjusted according to:

• Region
• Local temperature
• Elevation
• Seasonal weather
• Frost conditions
• Duration of cool weather
• Local cultivation practices

In warmer areas, suitable timing may differ from cooler or elevated regions.

Climbing Support

Pea plants commonly produce tendrils that can attach to nearby supports.

Depending on actual plant habit, suitable supports may include:

• Trellis
• Pea netting
• Bamboo sticks
• Vertical strings
• Suitable wire support
• Twiggy branches
• Garden frames

Where support is likely to be required, installing it early can reduce disturbance to established plants later.

Guide young growth gently where necessary.

Watering

Maintain reasonably consistent soil moisture during:

• Germination
• Seedling establishment
• Vegetative growth
• Flowering
• Pod setting
• Pod development

Avoid:

• Severe repeated drying
• Prolonged wilting
• Standing water
• Permanently saturated soil
• Poor drainage

Pay particular attention to moisture during flowering and pod development.

Water according to actual soil moisture and weather conditions rather than following a rigid schedule.

Feeding

Peas belong to the legume family.

Properly decomposed Vermicompost or another suitable organic amendment may be incorporated into the soil where appropriate.

Additional fertilizer should depend on:

• Existing soil fertility
• Plant condition
• Growth stage
• Previous fertilizer applications

Avoid unnecessarily heavy nitrogen fertilization.

Excessive nitrogen can encourage disproportionate vegetative growth.

No fertilizer program guarantees flowering, pod number, pea size or total yield.

Flowering & Pollination

Pea plants develop flowers as they reach the reproductive stage.

Garden peas are generally capable of a high degree of self-pollination, although actual fruit and seed development still depends on successful flower development and suitable growing conditions.

Flowering and pod set can be influenced by:

• Genetics
• Temperature
• Sunlight
• Moisture
• Plant health
• Nutrition
• Environmental stress

Prolonged high temperatures can negatively affect cool-season pea crops.

Pod Development

Following successful flowering, pods begin to develop and the seeds inside gradually enlarge.

During this stage:

• Maintain appropriate soil moisture
• Avoid severe plant wilting
• Monitor pests and diseases
• Maintain support where required
• Avoid damaging vines during maintenance

Exact pod length, number of peas per pod and pod production are not guaranteed for this Desi seed lot.

Mulching

A light organic mulch may be applied around established plants where appropriate.

Mulching may help:

• Reduce rapid moisture loss
• Suppress some weed growth
• Moderate surface soil conditions
• Protect soil structure

Keep heavy mulch slightly away from the main stems.

Weed Management

Keep the growing area reasonably free from aggressive weeds.

Weeds can compete with pea plants for:

• Moisture
• Nutrients
• Sunlight
• Root space

Remove weeds carefully to minimize root disturbance.

Pest & Plant-Health Monitoring

Inspect plants regularly for locally occurring pests and diseases.

Potential problems may include:

• Aphids
• Slugs
• Snails
• Caterpillars
• Birds
• Pea-related insect pests
• Powdery mildew
• Root rot
• Wilt
• Other locally occurring fungal or soil-borne problems

Useful management practices include:

• Appropriate spacing
• Good airflow
• Suitable irrigation
• Good drainage
• Weed management
• Crop hygiene
• Crop rotation where practical

No specific pest or disease resistance is claimed for this Desi seed lot.

Harvesting

Harvest timing should be determined according to actual pod and seed development rather than relying on a fixed number of days.

Pods may be monitored as they develop and harvested at the stage appropriate to the intended crop production.

Actual maturity varies according to:

• Genetics
• Temperature
• Sowing date
• Plant growth habit
• Soil
• Moisture
• Nutrition
• Sunlight
• Plant health
• General crop management

No exact maturity period is guaranteed for this Desi seed line.

Regular Harvesting

During active pod production, mature pods can be checked regularly and removed carefully as they reach the required stage.

When harvesting:

• Support the vine with one hand where necessary
• Remove pods carefully
• Avoid pulling or breaking stems
• Avoid unnecessary damage to flowers or developing pods

The exact duration and quantity of pod production will vary.

Crop Variability

Seeds and plants are biological products.

Natural variation can occur in:

• Germination
• Plant height
• Vine length
• Climbing behaviour
• Flowering time
• Flower colour
• Pod length
• Pod shape
• Number of peas per pod
• Pea size
• Maturity
• Overall yield

Environmental and crop-management conditions can further influence these characteristics.
