Additional Information
Harvest Recommendations
Shell Type and Snap Type: pick when pods are full, but not swollen. Large peas
are tough and less sweet.
Edible Pod: pick before there is much indication of the pea inside the pod. Pods become tougher as pea-size increases.
Harvesting the peas every 3 to 5 days will prevent overmaturity and stimulate the plants to continue to produce new pods. Harvested peas should be rapidly cooled to 32 to 34° F. Optimum storage conditions are between 32 to 36°F and 90 to 98 percent relative humidity.
Storage and Preservation Methods
Fresh for short periods of time. May be canned or frozen.
In Utah diseases and pests do not require much control. Some crop loss is often better than using pesticides. Fungicide treated seed is helpful for early plantings when soil warms slowly.
