Gunter

Pea vegetable variety Hunter is a high-yielding, mid-season variety with high protein content and excellent resistance to adverse conditions. This variety has a vegetative period of approximately 81-82 days, seed weight per 1000 seeds ranging from 240-260 grams, and 6-7 seeds per pod. Hunter exhibits high resistance to lodging and drought, and can successfully grow in various climatic zones, including forest-steppe, steppe, and meadow regions. Recommended sowing depth is 4-5 cm, with optimal density of 800-900 thousand plants per hectare and row spacing of 12.5 cm.

To protect Hunter pea crops from broadleaf and grassy weeds, a systemic and soil-applied herbicide based on the active ingredients imazapir and imazamox is used. The preparation is effective when applied at the 4-leaf stage of the crop and during early weed development stages, providing broad-spectrum control against harmful plants such as ragweed, sow thistle, daisy, mugwort, nightshade, and many others. The herbicide demonstrates high efficacy even with minimal or zero soil treatment, which helps preserve soil structure and improve growing conditions for peas.

The Hunter variety is suitable for cultivation in various agronomic systems and ensures stable yields due to its resistance to spring frosts and rapid early growth. The high protein content makes this pea a valuable product for the food industry and feed production. The optimal combination of agronomic traits and effective weed control allows full potential of the variety to be realized and ensures high-quality yields.
