Can pea seedlings be pinched in rainy days?

In the process of pea seedling growth, it generally grows faster and the stem tip grows too long. In order to promote the development of plant branches and lateral branches, sometimes the operation of pinching tips can be carried out. Pinch refers to cutting off the top of a plant stem to control plant growth and promote branching.

The question of whether rainy days are suitable for pinching tips can be analyzed according to the following points:

1. Rain can promote the growth of pea seedlings: Rain can provide water and nutrients for plants and promote their growth. Therefore, rainy days are beneficial to the growth and development of pea seedlings.

2. Rainy days may aggravate the occurrence of pests and diseases: Rain will increase the risk of pea seedlings suffering from pests and diseases. Because rain will breed pathogenic bacteria and pests, pea seedlings may be infected and damaged. In this case, coring operation may further weaken the growth ability of pea seedlings.

To sum up, topping in rainy days may not be the ideal time for pea seedlings. Because pea seedlings get enough water and nutrition supply in rainy days, the growth rate will be faster at this time, and pinching tips may further affect the growth and development of plants. At the same time, rainy days will increase the risk of pests and diseases, and pinching tips may weaken the resistance of pea seedlings. It is suggested to suspend the pinching operation in rainy days and wait for the weather to clear up.
