Sakharnyi 2

Technical profile of the pea variety "Melkosemyanny 2"

Developed by the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, this variety represents a specialized solution for farms focused on stable grain production. The breeding is based on the "semi-leafless" (tendril) morphotype, which fundamentally changes crop management and harvesting logistics.

Engineering features of vegetation

• Stem Architectonics: The tendril plant type creates a strong, self-supporting framework. In the field, this translates into high lodging resistance, even under conditions of excessive moisture. For an agronomist, this is a critical parameter: the crop remains upright, keeping the lower pods well above the soil level and ensuring proper photosynthesis in the lower canopy.
• Harvesting Efficiency: A 70–80 day vegetation period places the variety in the mid-early group. Direct harvesting is highly effective due to the plant's mechanical adaptability: the pods are shatter-resistant, and uniform maturation minimizes losses during harvesting.
• Grain Biochemistry: A protein concentration of 22–24% makes "Melkosemyanny 2" a reliable component for feed production and processing raw materials. This is a balanced indicator focused on maintaining high yields without sacrificing seed quality.

"Melkosemyanny 2" is a tool for technologists aiming to eliminate harvest losses. The reduction in leaf mass improves airflow within the canopy, decreasing the risk of fungal diseases and simplifying the application of plant protection products. The medium plant height is perfectly matched to the technical specs of modern combine harvesters, allowing for high-speed operation without the risk of clogging the threshing mechanism.
