NEMCHINOVSKIY 100

Nemchinovskiy 100 is a mid-season, leafless pea variety intended for cultivation in the Central region of Russia, including the Moscow, Ryazan, and Tul regions. This variety is characterized by high resistance to lodging and shattering, which ensures crop preservation and ease of harvesting. Seeds are spherical with yellow cotyledons and a black hilum; the mass of 1000 seeds varies from 160 to 228 grams depending on growing conditions. The vegetative period from germination to physiological maturity is about 70–80 days, while seedlings appear within 7–10 days at an optimal temperature of 13–15°C. The Nemchinovskiy 100 stem is of medium height (80–120 cm), light green in color with large stipules. Foliage is moderate, with 9–11 internodes before the first inflorescence and a total of 12–14 internodes. Pods are light brown, slightly curved, usually two per pedicel, containing 4–5 seeds, sometimes up to 8. Protein content in the grain ranges from 23.5 to 27%, making this variety valuable for feed and food use. The optimal sowing rate is 1.2–1.4 million viable seeds per hectare, with field germination reaching about 80%, ensuring a plant density of 80–100 per square meter. Despite high yields reaching up to 43.4 centners per hectare, the Nemchinovskiy 100 variety is susceptible to ascochyta blight and root rots, requiring the application of appropriate agronomic measures for plant protection. Under favorable conditions and with proper care, yields of 4–5 tons of grain per hectare can be achieved. This pea variety is suitable for cultivation in a temperate climate and is optimal for use in the agriculture of Russia's Central region due to the combination of high productivity, grain quality, and resistance to adverse weather conditions.
