Field pea (Pisum sativum) — a cold-tolerant and sun-loving crop requiring specific conditions for successful cultivation and high yield. Pea seeds begin to germinate at 1-2ºC, but for uniform emergence, a biological minimum of 4-5ºC is required. The optimal temperature for vegetative organ formation is 12-16ºC, and for reproductive organs — 16-20ºC. Above 26ºC, both quality and quantity of yield decrease. Peas require adequate moisture: seeds require 110-115% water relative to seed mass for swelling and germination, and for some varieties — up to 150%. Best growth conditions are created with annual precipitation of 450-600 mm and soil moisture of 70-80%. Soils must be well-drained, highly fertile with neutral pH (6.8-7.4), rich in humus, lime, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients such as molybdenum and boron.
Pea cultivation technology includes selecting appropriate predecessors, soil preparation, fertilizer systems, seed preparation, sowing, crop maintenance, and harvest. Special attention is paid to comprehensive weed and pest control throughout the growth stages. Effective herbicides are used, among which "Bogun" stands out, providing reliable protection and promoting plant health.
Thus, the pea variety "Bogun" represents a quality choice for farmers aiming to achieve stable and high yields. Adhering to agronomic requirements and using modern protective agents such as the "Bogun" preparation allows effective weed and pest control, ensuring optimal conditions for crop growth and development.
