Fertilizer schedule
Use the stage cards as a planning checklist, then read country notes for local fertilizer language (rates are not prescriptions).
Inoculate seed with rhizobia when needed; supply phosphorus and potassium — legumes often need less N.
Use a low-N starter if soils are very poor; excess N reduces nodulation.
Maintain K and micronutrients (e.g. Mo, B where deficient); irrigate to reduce flower drop.

Irrigated. Autumn tillage, PK applikation at the period of sowing. Nitrogen application at the time of seedlings.
Rainfed and Irrigated. Autumn tillage, PK applikation at the period of sowing. Nitrogen application at the time of seedlings.
The first harvest takes place 90 days after sowing and the last 120 jours.On is usually direct seeding (25x25 cm) hill. The ririgation practiced in hill dry season (June-September or autajt times as needed). commonly apply organic manure.
In the case of peas, to achieve a production of 4 to 5 tons of green pods per hectare, the crop extracts 125 kilograms of nitrogen (N), 30 kilograms of phosphorus (P) and 75 kilograms of potassium (K) from the soil. , reaching in some cases to extract, respectively, 125, 50 and 85 kilograms of these nutritive elements and requiring, additionally, from 65 to 100 kilograms of calcium (Ca) and 13 kilograms of magnesium (Mg) per hectare.
Rainfed. Autumn tillage, PK applikation at the period of sowing. Nitrogen application early spring until March 8-th.
Follow the stage cards above (soil prep → planting → mid-season). Exact rates depend on soil tests and local packages — FAO notes below show how growers describe fertilization in different countries.
Treat them as historical/field guidance, not a prescription for your plot. Units and products differ by country. Confirm with agricultural extension before applying.
Not a fertilizer prescription. Over-application wastes money and can harm plants and waterways. Follow local extension packages.
