Pulse vs Vegetable UsesPulse crops are technically agronomic
Mature, dried seed handled as a grain crop
Vegetable legumes (vegetables, duh)
Immature seeds, green pods, leaves, stems, roots
Very difficult to separate uses with respect to world production statistics, management principles, etc.

Heat units and planting
For processing, planting scheduled by heat unitsBase temperature - 40 degreesUpper limit adjustment – 85 degreesEarly varieties require about 1000 degree-daysLate varieties require over 1600 degree-daysPlanting date determined by prediction of harvest
date using historical temperature averages

Harvest Indices
Green – pods smooth but filled, seed immatureDry- moisture content <40%Edible pod
Non-snap types – full-size pod, no seedSnap types – pod smooth, seed ½ to ¾ size
Canning peas tested with tenderometer, starch content, brine solutions, alcohol soluble solids

Production - Harvest
Optimum quality stage lasts only 2-3 daysHand-picking common for fresh use (mostly
gardens)Machine picking common for processing
Operation – pick, strip, shellEfficiency – 67-97%
Dry peas harvested with a grain harvester

Pea
Handling and Storage Rapid post-harvest conversion of sugar to starchTemperature critical – shelled peas held 3 hr at
ambient results in quality lossImmediate hydrocooling to 32 degreesShelf life depends on product
Shelled peas – several hoursPodded peas – 1-2 week at 32 degrees, 90% RHDry peas – several years if dried to <15% moisture
