Field pea agronomy for the HRZ locations
Aims

To determine optimum sowing times for the various field pea varieties in the HRZ.

Key messages
  • Timely sowing is essential for the profitable production of field peas. Sowing in May or June produces the highest grain yields and biomass.
  • Despite several frost events and dry, hot conditions during flowering, all varieties sown were able to produce profitable grain yields.
