Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Pigeon pea seeds generally do not require any special preparation before planting. However, you can soak the seeds in water for 6-12 hours before planting to soften the seed coat and promote germination.

Sowing:

Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-drained soil.
Prepare the soil by loosening it to a depth of 6-8 inches and removing any weeds or debris.
Sow the pigeon pea seeds directly into the soil at a depth of 1-2 inches.
Space the seeds 4-6 inches apart in rows that are 24-36 inches apart to allow ample room for growth.

Germination:

Pigeon pea seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period to ensure successful sprouting.

Transplanting:

Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are 6-8 inches tall, they can be thinned to maintain proper spacing or transplanted to their final growing location if necessary.

Care and Maintenance:

Water pigeon pea plants regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist.
Mulch around the base of the plants to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Support tall varieties of pigeon pea with stakes or trellises to prevent lodging and promote upright growth.
Monitor for pests such as aphids, caterpillars, and pod borers, and treat infestations promptly with appropriate insecticides or organic controls.
Harvest pigeon pea pods when they are young and tender for use in culinary dishes, or allow them to mature fully for use as dried peas or fodder for livestock.

Happy gardening!
