[QUOTE="Auckland Blue, post: 5722820, member: 47780"] We grow sakura peas here on ragdale, hanslope, series clays. we plough early and as dry as possible and level off with a press. If the land greens up in the autumn then we spray of with robust rate of glypho and then leave till the spring. Will spray again before drilling with glypho if needs be and use wheeling's for tramlines in the crop. Will drill when we feel land has dried out enough to take a wheel with the least amount of compaction (tricky) we are prepared to hold out until the middle or even last week in April if necessary but we run the risk of running into spring drought going later. Keen eye on weather forecast and gut feeling come into play here. Drill straight into plough with KV tine seeder if possible, move land with K harrow as a last resort. Seed rate is usually 330kg per hectare treated with thiram dressing. Roll when land has haseled off. Nirvana plus clomate pre em. pyrethroid for pea and bean weevil if severe notching occurs. 1 possibly 2 flowering fungicides depending on weather and an insecticide for pea moth if thresholds are reached. liquid manganese added to the fungicide applications. watch out for pea aphid. pea harvest for us takes priority over wheat. will desiccate if uneven or weedy if not like this year cut direct.

We then dress them and dry them gently in a continuous flow dryer, get them to hot and they split better to run them over twice. try and keep their time in chain and flight conveyers to a minimum, again they will split Just the way we grow peas here.
