Fargus

Reliable pea variety for grain production

«Fargus», developed by NVA Stepova, is a variety specifically tailored for producers prioritizing stable grain yields within a condensed timeframe. With a vegetation period of just 70–80 days, this variety fits seamlessly into intensive crop rotations, allowing farmers to clear fields before peak summer heat and proceed to subsequent agricultural operations.

Agronomic resilience and performance

The primary advantage of «Fargus» is its robust resistance to Ascochyta blight. In regions where fungal diseases frequently threaten pulse yields, this genetic trait is a decisive factor in maintaining crop integrity. By choosing «Fargus», farmers can effectively reduce their reliance on fungicide applications, thereby optimizing overall production costs.

• Primary goal: Intensive grain production with a protein content of 20–22%.
• Maturity: Ultra-early maturity (70–80 days) mitigates the risk of yield loss due to late-season drought.
• Adaptation: Developed by NVA Stepova experts, the variety is fine-tuned for Ukrainian soil and climatic conditions, ensuring consistent performance.

Integrating «Fargus» into a farm’s crop cycle is a strategic move for early-season output. The variety is characterized by excellent canopy uniformity, which is vital for efficient harvesting and minimizing field losses. High protein levels ensure the harvested grain remains competitive in both domestic fodder and processing markets.
