Protein pea

Protein pea

Protein pea has been gaining more and more importance in recent years. It is an excellent source of protein in animal feed, but it is increasingly becoming a source of protein for human consumption. It fits perfectly into the crop rotation, especially as a pre-crop for cereals, because of the nitrogen it leaves in the soil.

Sowing of winter peas can last until the middle or end of October, which leaves enough time for the plant to go into winter. Resistance to low temperatures is excellent.
New varieties of peas that have afila type leaves are much easier to harvest without losses in the harvest; there is no lodging, and the yield is better.
Winter peas have about a 7-10 day head start in vegetation compared to winter barley. In this way, it forms pods early enough and fills the grain, which is later insensitive to high temperatures. Therefore, the pea yield that can be expected is around 5 t/ha.
 
Our offer includes Foudre winter peas and alternative variety Batist.

FOUDRE - winter pea

Foudre
Foudre is a late-maturing winter pea variety with a protein content of approximately 21–22%. It exhibits excellent lodging tolerance due to its somewhat lower height at harvest, although the plant is of medium height during the growing season.
✔Yield potential: up to 5 t/ha of dry grain
✔Maturity:late
✔Harvest time: June
✔Grain color: yellow
✔Optimal sowing time: mid-September to early October
✔Seeding rate: 200–220 kg/ha (or 80 viable seeds/m²)
Sowing unit contains 100.000 seeds

BATIST - alternative pea

BATIST
Batist is a new protein pea variety with a protein content of 21–23%. It is a medium-early to early variety that is highly adaptable to various weather conditions. Thanks to its excellent tolerance to low temperatures, Batist is suitable for both autumn and spring sowing. For spring sowing, we recommend planting as early as weather and soil conditions allow. Sowing as early as the beginning of February is recommended to achieve high yields; this allows the plants to form pods and fill their grains earlier, thereby avoiding the high temperatures that can occur as early as May and June. 
✔Maturity: medium-early to early
✔Harvest time: June
✔Yield potential: over 5 t/ha
✔Large grain
✔Plant height at harvest: medium
✔Optimal sowing time: • Autumn: October • Spring: February
✔Seeding rate: 220–250 kg/ha (or 80 viable seeds/m²)
Sowing unit contains 100.000 seeds
