Video: Scouting Sessions: Timing Desiccation and Preharvest Applications in Yellow Peas


Manitoba Pulse & Soybean Growers - To determine if peas are ready for desiccation or preharvest applications, scout the least mature areas of the field and check pods. When yellow peas are ready for preharvest applications at R7 (full maturity) seeds in the bottom pods will rattle, seeds in the middle pods will have changed colour and seeds in the upper pods will have some colour change and split evenly under pressure rather than squash.
