Key messages
  • PBA Coogee being a dual purpose pea provides growers the option to either cut for hay, harvest for grain, or graze.
  • PBA Pearl is consistently the highest yielding pea variety in all areas across SA (2013 NVT data). It stands well and has better pod shattering tolerance than traditional varieties.
