The average yield of the variety over research years ranged from 1.53 to 3.55 tons per hectare, and the vegetation period is 75-80 days, which corresponds to medium-early maturity. High resistance to lodging (7 points) allows for direct combining during harvest, enhancing harvesting efficiency.

Cruiz variety exhibits good disease resistance at the level of top standards, contributing to stable production and reduced losses. The 1000-seed mass varies from 210 to 240 grams, and the crude protein content reaches 20-23%, making this pea a valuable protein source. Moreover, the pea has good cooking properties and pleasant taste qualities, expanding its application in food industry and household use.
