Peas - Fertility

Nitrogen

Where phosphate and potash are required, apply 15 kg N/ha (13 lb N/ac) at seeding. If no phosphate and potash are required, the nitrogen may be omitted.

Phosphorus

Test the soil to determine phosphorus requirements. Where the soil test values are 16 mg P per L soil (ppm) or higher, peas are unlikely to respond to additional phosphate applications. For soils testing lower than 16 mg P per L soil (ppm), see Table 1-10, Phosphorus Requirements: Vegetables on Mineral Soils, on page 12.

Potassium

Test the soil to determine potassium requirements. Where the soil test values are 121 mg K per L soil (ppm) or higher, peas are unlikely to respond to additional potash applications. For soils testing lower than 121 mg K per L soil (ppm), see Table 1-12, Potassium Requirements: Vegetables on Mineral Soils, on page 14.
