Specifications of Desi Pea (Batani) Seeds
This Desi Batani variety produces sweet, tender green peas widely used in Indian households for curries, pulao, and everyday cooking. A cool-season crop, it thrives in winter conditions and, as a nitrogen-fixing legume, also helps improve soil fertility. Depending on the growth habit, plants may need light support as they mature and set pods.

Planting and Care for Pea
Sowing: Sow seeds 1-1.5 inches deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Space seeds adequately to allow room for growth.
Growing: Provide light support (stakes or a small trellis) for climbing varieties as vines develop. Water regularly, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged, especially during flowering and pod formation.
Harvesting: Harvest pods once they feel firm and well-filled, typically 60-75 days after sowing. Regular picking encourages continued pod production through the season.
Precautions While Growing Pea
Sow within the cool season window, as warm temperatures reduce yield and pod quality
Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot
Watch for aphids and powdery mildew, especially as the season warms; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest promptly once pods are filled, as overripe pods become starchy and lose sweetness
