Bosfor

Focus on Technology and Yield

Pea variety 'Bosfor' from the breeding company VNIS answers the farmer's primary demand: how to minimize harvest losses and secure a stable yield. In intensive farming, this hybrid stands out due to its morphology: a semi-dwarf, 'leafless' (tendrilled) type that forms a sturdy stand resistant to lodging, even during heavy rain. This is its key advantage over traditional tall varieties, making the harvest process a streamlined, single-pass operation ideal for direct combining.

Plant Protection Shield

Agronomists often face yield degradation due to disease pressure. 'Bosfor' is fortified against a complex of the most damaging pathogens:

• High tolerance to Ascochyta blight and Anthracnose, which often devastate crops during flowering.
• Strong resistance to root rot, which is critical when growing in crop rotations heavily saturated with legumes.
• Resilience against viral mosaic diseases, ensuring consistent photosynthetic leaf activity until maturity.

Economic Performance

With a vegetation period of 70–80 days, this hybrid is an excellent tool for efficient moisture utilization in the first half of the summer. A thousand-seed weight of 260–280 grams ensures a high yield of high-quality grain, while a protein content of 20–22% makes it highly competitive in both food and feed markets.

Who is this pea for?

'Bosfor' is tailored for growers operating on large scales where harvest speed and efficiency are paramount. Eliminating the need for windrowing and its excellent suitability for direct combining significantly reduces production costs. If your objective is to prevent lodging and achieve uniform ripening, this hybrid will serve as the foundation for your seasonal yield success.
