Sugar Snap Pea

Peas
A cross between garden peas and snow peas, known for their crunchy, sweet pods that are eaten whole.

Growing Environment

  • Soil Texture: Loamy Soil

    Balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay, well-draining but retains moisture, highly fertile.

  • pH Range: 6.6 - 7.3

    Optimal for a wide range of plants, nutrient availability is high.

  • Organic Matter: Moderate (2% - 4%)

    Adequate organic matter levels, common in well-managed agricultural soils.

  • Salinity Level: 2 - 4 (Slightly Saline)

    Mild salinity, some sensitive crops may start showing signs of stress.
    Impact: Sensitive plants like beans and carrots may experience reduced growth; tolerant plants generally unaffected.

  • Hardiness Zone: 9A (Min: 20°F, Max: 25°F)
  • Humidity: Moderate

    Comfortable for most plants; typical for temperate regions.
    Impact: Generally ideal for most crops and plants; supports healthy growth and development.

  • Water Requirement: N/A - N/A inches per week

Nutrient Profile

  • Calcium (Ca) (1.2 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Calcium (Ca) (1.2 - 4)

    Strengthens cell walls, improves soil structure and aids in nutrient uptake.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.3 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Magnesium (Mg) (0.3 - 5)

    Central to photosynthesis, as it is part of the chlorophyll molecule.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.6 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Molybdenum (Mo) (0.6 - 12)

    Necessary for nitrogen fixation and utilization, and the formation of enzymes involved in plant metabolism.

  • Nitrogen (N) (4 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Nitrogen (N) (4 - 1)

    Essential for plant growth, promotes lush, green foliage.

  • Phosphorus (P) (0.28 - 2)

    Vital for energy transfer and photosynthesis, helps in root and flower development.

  • Potassium (K) (2 - 3)

    Helps with water regulation, disease resistance, and overall plant vigor.
