Horizon

Robust Yields and Superior Disease Resistance

The «Horizon» pea variety, developed by the V. Ya. Yuriev Plant Production Institute, is a strategic asset for farms looking to stabilize production in regions with high phytosanitary pressure. By focusing on inherent resistance to common pathogens, this variety reduces the dependency on expensive fungicide applications.

Agronomic Advantages

• Pathogen Resilience: The variety exhibits strong resistance to rust, septoria, fusarium, and ascochyta. This biological protection is essential for maintaining crop integrity during seasons with high humidity.
• Harvest Efficiency: Excellent suitability for direct harvesting significantly reduces field losses, making it a reliable choice for large-scale operations where timing is critical.
• Quality Output: With a protein content of 20–22% and a thousand-kernel weight (TKW) of 260–280 grams, Horizon provides a marketable product that meets modern trade standards.

Practical Farm Application

Designed primarily for grain production, Horizon serves farms that prioritize operational efficiency. Its structural characteristics, including moderate height and high resistance to lodging, ensure that the crop is well-prepared for mechanical harvesting. With a vegetation period of 90–100 days, it allows for a predictable harvest schedule. Whether for commercial grain sale or domestic processing, this variety offers a consistent performance profile that simplifies field management and enhances ROI.
