Best practices for Peas

[JDGreen]

Have grown peas for 20 years. Always fertilized for first 6/7 years and then decided no fertilizer one year as rumor on the street was they didn't need any. Very disappointing crop that year. The following year left an Unfertilized strip on every field to confirm the previous years disappointment. That year was 2004 and fertilized peas ran 60-80 while unfertilized strips 50/55.. All plants need balanced fertility and I find it laughable how generically most assume pulses do not respond. Each to their own but before I would ever spout off that pulses need no fertilizer my first question would be "where is your soil test??"
