The vegetable pea variety Karina is an early-maturing, high-yielding variety that matures in an average of 45-65 days after emergence. Plants reach a height of 60-70 cm, have a compact form and dark green leaves with a waxy coating. The flowers are small and white, and the pods are straight, about 8 cm long, containing 8-10 medium-sized peas with a vibrant green color at technical maturity. Karina peas are distinguished by their high sugar content, which gives the peas a delicate, sweet taste highly valued for both fresh consumption and processing.
This variety is versatile in use: it can be consumed fresh, used for preparing first and second courses, or frozen and canned. Due to its resistance to fusarium and relative tolerance to low temperatures, Karina is suitable for cultivation in both home gardens and commercial scales. The yield of this variety reaches 88 centners per hectare, with a green pea yield from pods of approximately 48%.
Growing Karina peas does not require special knowledge or effort; it is sufficient to follow basic agronomic practices and carry out necessary measures in a timely manner, taking into account climatic conditions. The compactness of the plants and high resistance to diseases make this variety attractive to gardeners and farmers aiming to obtain a high-quality and flavorful vegetable pea harvest.
