New winter peas variety
- Medium-early variety
- Intended for the production of coarse fodder with a high nutritional value
- Used as a ruminant feed in the form of hay and haylage; significantly increases milk production and quality in dairy cows due to its quality
- Ensures economically profitable and environmentally friendly production
- Sown together with winter cereals in a 3:1 ratio (150 kg of peas: 50 kg of wheat), usually in combination with the Galloper wheat variety, which provides a stable support for the peas due to its higher habitus
- Enters the blooming phase with a dark red flower seven days earlier than Osječki zeleni
- Seeds are larger than in case of Osječki zeleni; minimal seeding rate is 150 kg of seeds per hectare
- Modest crop management requirements, with minimal investments in protection and fertilisation
- Excellent resistance to low temperatures
- As a pre-crop, increases soil nitrogen content and curbs weeds
- Allows for two harvests a year in the same field. After removal of peas, we recommend stubble sowing of early OS corn hybrids such as OS 3114
- Robust stem, average height 158 cm
- When harvested in the blooming and first pod formation phase (10-20 May), yields 50-60 t/ha of green matter, or more than 25 t/ha of haylage and more than 10 t/ha of hay
