- Yellow grain variety useful for dry grain cultivation purposes.
- Leafless type.
- Very good yield of seed and overall protein.
- Very good stiffness during flowering time and good stiffness just before harvest.
- High fungal diseases resistance, high resistance to pod cracking and to seed shedding.
Cultivation
- The most suitable soils for field peas cultivation are medium to good rye and wheat soils. The highest yields are achieved on neutral pH soils. Soil preparation for sowing shouldn’t be conducted when there is a high soil moisture.
- Sowing term should be as earliest as possible, starting from the middle of March. The seeds should be placed into the soil on the depth of 6-8 cm with the seed density of 110-120 per 1 m2. The seeds should be treated with e.g. Vitavax 200F, which guaranties diseases protection and improved emergence. It is recommended to inoculate seeds with Nitragina.
- Nitrogen fertilization is limited to a single application of 20-30 kg/ha before. Phosphorus and potassium fertilization is generally carried out in the autumn, before winter plough in the rate of 70-100 kg/ha P2O5; 100-140 kg/ha K2O. Calcium application into soils is recommended when soil pH is lower than 5,5 in the rate of 3-5 t/ha.
- Weed control recommendation: after sowing e.g. Command 480 EC 0,2 l/ha and Afalon 50 WP 1kg/ha. After the plantlets achieve 6-12 cm, which is in the phase of first adhered tendrils; Basagran 480 SL in the rate of 2,5-3 l/ha may be used in a single or divided application. Bruchus pisorum control should be applied in the phase of first pod formation and then repeated after 10 days with e.g. Sumi-Alpha 050 EC in the rate of 0,2 l/ha. All weed treatments should be applied according to official recommendations published by Institute of Plant Protection.
- One-phase harvesting.
- Field pea treshing requires adjusting of the harvester (decreasing of treshing cylinder turns (400 turn/min); widening of chink between treshing floor and treshing cylinder, correct sieves choice).
