A method for increasing the yield of peas, independently of the weather

摘要

A method for increasing the yield of leguminous products in a manner unaffected by weather is provided. According to the method, a leguminous plant is allowed to grow as it is up to a certain stage of cultivation. When podding begins, lateral branches and leaves on the branches, which absorb nutrients in a large amount, are eliminated so that nutrients can be utilized exclusively for growing pods containing seeds. Thus, the method accelerates ripening of pods and ripens seeds borne in pods growing on up to upper branches. After germination of sown seeds of a leguminous plant and subsequent growth of seedlings, when podding begins on the lowermost branch, branches extending outward as viewed from the pods are cut off together with leaves on the branches, thereby allowing intensive utilization of nutrients for ripening pods containing seeds.
