Lump pea is a medium-maturing, leafless variety of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) with a vegetation period of 75-80 days and medium-early maturity. Plants are characterized by compact height and high resistance to lodging, which ensures ease of care and harvest. The 1000-seed mass varies from 178 to 270 grams, and the number of seeds per pod reaches 7-9, indicating high grain size and quality. The recommended planting density at harvest is 0.95-1.0 million plants per hectare, with seeding rates of 100-110 thousand per hectare. The Lump variety is distinguished by high yield and adaptability, allowing successful cultivation in various soil-climate zones, including Bryansk, Kursk, and Oryol regions. Average yield in the Central region is about 25.2 centners per hectare, and in the Central Chernozem region — up to 31.8 centners per hectare. The pea is resistant to shattering and cracking, and shows excellent resistance to drought and late frosts, making it a reliable choice for farmers. Despite high resistance to lodging and shattering, the variety is susceptible to ascochitosis of pods and seeds, and highly susceptible to root rots. However, it exhibits resistance to powdery mildew and viral diseases, which contributes to plant health and stable yields. Protein content in the grain reaches 26%, making Lump pea a valuable product for food industry and feed purposes.
