Central and Central Black Soil regions

An early forage pea variety producing a high and consistent yield. It features intensive development at the early growth stages. Despite a height of 54–97 cm, the variety has a high lodging resistance. The yield potential is estimated at 9 points (very high), protein content in the bean is medium (22.1 – 24.0%)

Optimum soil types are loam and sandy loam, with sufficient organic matter and a soil pH of 6.5–7.5. Nitrogenous fertiliser is applied only on light soils and soils poor in humus prior to sowing at a rate of 20 kg/ha active substance. The rates of phosphate and potassium fertilisers are 60 and 90 kg/ha, respectively. Trace minerals (Mn, Mg) are highly important, particularly, in arid conditions.

The variety is resistant to powdery mildew and septoria spot, susceptible to brown rust and ascochyta blight.
High susceptibility to root rots

Seed treatment against root rots and ascochyta blight with Maksim (2 l/t). In the southern regions where bean seed fly is widespread, an insecticide needs to be added to the fungicide. Two combined treatments with a fungicide and insecticide mixture against brown rust and pea weevils during vegetation starting from budding stage are obligatory.
