Pea ESKO

Stable pea yields with Austrian genetics

The «ESO» pea variety from the Austrian breeder Saatbau is the choice for agronomists prioritizing harvesting efficiency and resistance to complex pathogens. In today's farming landscape, this variety demonstrates high adaptability, minimizing field losses.

Efficiency and Harvesting

The main advantage of «ESO» is its leafless (semi-leafless) plant type. This stem morphology provides excellent resistance to lodging, which is critical during the grain-filling stage. The plant maintains a vertical position even in adverse weather conditions, making it an ideal candidate for direct combining. You avoid wasting time and machinery resources struggling with lodged crops.

Protection and Productivity

The variety features built-in genetic immunity to key threats to pea crops:

• High tolerance to root rots, allowing for stable performance even on fields with complex crop rotations.
• Resistance to downy mildew, ascochyta blight, and anthracnose — diseases capable of reducing yields by 30-50% in the absence of fungicide protection.

The 110-120 day growing season allows for efficient harvest logistics planning, while a 1000-seed weight of 240-260 grams makes «ESO» attractive to processors. A protein content of 22-24% ensures grain marketability for both feed and food industry needs.

By growing «ESO», you get a predictable result: strong stems, no issues with lodged crops, and stable crop development dynamics from emergence to full maturity.
