Pea seeds not forming? Expert: Fertilizer errors, continue feeding for full pods.

• Pea pods in Surguja, Chhattisgarh, are not forming seeds due to incorrect fertilizer management.
• Agricultural experts advise using a balanced basal dose of well-rotted cow dung, potash, and DAP/Ippco during field preparation.
• Farmers often stop fertilizing after the first harvest, which is a major mistake leading to fewer seeds in subsequent pods.
• Continue providing nutrition after the first harvest using soluble fertilizers like 19-19 or 12-32-16 via spray or drip.
• Proper and timely fertilizer management ensures full, quality seeds, increased production, and better market profits.
