Rassvet pea is a light-loving culture that requires good illumination and well-drained soil fertilized with manure and superphosphate to achieve high yields and excellent taste. This variety is characterized by early maturation—the first pods are ready for harvest just 50 days after germination. The plants are low-growing, reaching about 50 cm in height, and do not require supports, which simplifies care and harvest.
Rassvet pea possesses high resistance to diseases, particularly to Fusarium wilts, making it a reliable choice for growing in arid and hot conditions without the need for irrigation. Dark green peas grow in pairs and reach a length of about 9 cm. The tender and sweet peas are ideal for freezing, canning, and fresh consumption, while uniform maturation allows for efficient harvest planning.
For successful growing of the Rassvet variety, seed preparation with soaking, disinfection, and seedling feeding is recommended. Plant care includes regular watering, hilling, feeding, and pest control, such as against the tortrix moth. Thanks to its productivity and resistance, the Rassvet variety is suitable for repeated sowing from early spring to late summer, ensuring a stable and quality harvest.
