Field pea ChBL-5

Technological Precision: ChBL-5 Pea

In the grain pea sector, the ChBL-5 variety stands out due to its unique architectural design. This semi-dwarf, leafless (semi-leafless) variety was developed by Ukrainian breeders to minimize harvest losses. The tendrils interlock, forming a stable structure that prevents lodging even during heavy rainfall, which is a major advantage for commercial farming.

Key Agronomic Strengths

• Disease Resistance: The variety exhibits strong resistance to root rot and ascochyta blight. This reduces the need for heavy fungicide applications, making it a cost-effective choice for regions with high disease pressure.
• Harvest Efficiency: The semi-leafless type is exceptionally well-suited for direct harvesting. Because the crop stays upright and firm, mechanical harvesting losses are significantly reduced compared to traditional leaf-type varieties.
• Stable Quality: With a thousand-seed weight (TSW) of 260–280 grams and a protein content of 22–24%, ChBL-5 meets both feed and food market requirements.

Why choose ChBL-5?

ChBL-5 is designed for operations that prioritize industrial-scale efficiency. If your primary goal is to maximize harvest speed with minimal field losses, this variety offers the reliability you need. With a 70–80 day vegetation period, it fits seamlessly into various crop rotations.

Developed under the coordination of the National Scientific Center "Institute of Agriculture of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine," this variety represents a synergy of traditional breeding and the specific demands of modern high-tech agriculture.
