Magnat

Engineered for Efficiency: The «Magnat» Pea Advantage

Developed by the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute, the «Magnat» pea variety represents a shift toward technology-driven farming. Its standout feature is the semi-leafless (tendril) plant type. Unlike traditional varieties, the tendrils allow the plants to interlock, creating a self-supporting canopy. This structural stability prevents lodging—a common issue in pea cultivation that leads to yield loss and disease proliferation—even under heavy rain or wind.

Why «Magnat» stands out

• Harvesting Performance: The high resistance to lodging and uniform maturation make this variety perfectly suited for direct harvesting. It significantly reduces the field losses typically associated with harvesting delicate pea crops.
• Resilience: With a strong genetic profile against anthracnose and root rot, the variety reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, making it a more economical choice for integrated pest management.
• Quality Parameters: A seed weight of 220–240 grams per 1000 seeds combined with a 20–22% protein content provides excellent market versatility, catering to both animal feed and culinary segments.

Who should choose this variety?

«Magnat» is designed for producers who prioritize operational efficiency and risk mitigation. With a growing season of 80–90 days, it offers the flexibility needed for modern crop rotation cycles. It is particularly effective for those looking to simplify harvest logistics while maintaining high quality. While it requires strict attention to seeding rates to ensure the tendril-locking mechanism works effectively, it rewards producers with a consistent, high-quality output that holds up well in the field and the warehouse.
