Agronomy

Farm Management Practices:
Kern 464 peas is a cool-season legume crop with medium-tall plants and green, tender, and sweet pods.
• Soil: loamy, well-drained, fertile, pH 6.0-7.5, avoid waterlogged, saline, or compacted soils
• Temperature: cool-season, 55°F to 65°F, frost-intolerant, germination 40°F to 75°F, flowering and pod development 60°F to 70°F
• Climate: temperate, tropical, subtropical, mild weather preferred; moderate rainfall tolerated
• Irrigation: regular and adequate, 7 to 10 days in vegetative phase, 4 to 5 days in flowering and pod filling phase, avoid moisture stress at germination, flowering, and pod setting, use drip irrigation
• Weed control: manual or herbicides, twice during crop cycle, first at 20 to 25 days after sowing, second at 40 to 45 days after sowing, use pendimethalin or trifluralin as pre-emergence sprays
• Sunlight: full sun, 6 hours minimum
• Storage: fresh, frozen, canned, or dried. Fresh peas cooled quickly and stored at 32°F to 40°F and 90% to 95% humidity for up to two weeks. Frozen peas blanched before freezing and stored at -18°C or below for up to one year. Canned peas are processed and stored in a cool and dry place for up to two years. Dried peas are cleaned, sorted, graded, dried, and stored in airtight containers in a cool and dry place for up to one year.
