Pea Cadet

Field Performance and Reliability: The «Kadet» Pea Variety

The «Kadet» pea variety is the result of extensive breeding efforts carried out by FGBNU FRANTs in collaboration with leading agricultural research organizations, including OOO Ssts Rostovskij and OOO Agrofirma Poisk. This variety was developed to meet market demand for a crop that combines high yield potential with efficient harvesting characteristics.

Agronomic Traits and Growth Cycle

«Kadet» is a mid-season variety with a vegetation period ranging from 70 to 80 days. This early maturity allows farmers to optimize crop rotation, freeing up fields for the timely planting of subsequent winter crops. The plant possesses medium height, which facilitates strong stand development and uniform maturation across the field.

A key factor in the success of this variety is its suitability for direct combining. In industrial farming, where harvest losses can significantly impact overall profitability, «Kadet» delivers excellent performance, reducing the need for additional, costly field operations.

Economic Value

Primarily cultivated for grain, this variety offers a protein content of 24–26%, making it highly attractive for both the feed industry and human consumption markets. Its consistent chemical composition and grain physical properties ensure strong marketability.

Developed with the direct contribution of Nikolai Nikolaevich Klimenko, the «Kadet» variety has successfully transitioned from experimental plots to widespread commercial application. It has established itself as a reliable choice for farms focused on minimizing risk and achieving consistent, high-quality yields within tight agronomic windows.
