Solar pea is a valuable protein-rich food and feed crop. It is widely used as a high-nutrition feed for animals, including green mass, hay, straw, and pods. Due to its nutritional properties, pea contributes to improving animal rations and increasing livestock productivity.
As a leguminous crop, Solar pea plays an important role in agronomy. It can fix atmospheric nitrogen through symbiosis with rhizobial bacteria that colonize the plant's roots. Under favorable conditions, pea can leave up to 100-120 kg of nitrogen per hectare in the soil, equivalent to applying 20-25 tons of manure. This significantly improves soil fertility and reduces the need for mineral fertilizers.
Moreover, pea is an excellent phytosanitary predecessor for winter wheat. Its cultivation helps reduce root rot incidence in wheat, improving the health and yield of subsequent crops. Under optimal growing conditions, the Solar variety can deliver high yields of both green mass and seeds, making it a promising choice for agricultural enterprises.
