Pea Spartak

Operational insight: Spartak field peas

For farm managers looking for consistent grain yields, the 'Spartak' variety offers predictable performance. With a growth cycle of 70-80 days, it allows for highly manageable scheduling during the harvest season. The plant architecture, characterized by its height, is particularly appreciated by operators: it simplifies header settings and significantly reduces losses during combine harvesting by ensuring the lower pods are positioned at an accessible height.

Crop health and maintenance

The variety’s resilience to Fusarium and downy mildew is a significant operational advantage. By showing strong resistance to rust and various rots, Spartak allows for a more relaxed fungicide spraying schedule. Fewer passes through the field lead to direct savings in fuel consumption and reduce wear and tear on specialized spraying equipment, ultimately lowering the total cost of ownership per hectare.

Grain quality and marketability

Spartak delivers a consistent protein content of 22-24%. This reliability makes the crop easy to market, as it meets the standard requirements for both animal feed and human consumption sectors. Developed through international collaboration between research centers in Russia, New Zealand, the UK, Australia, and France, this variety exhibits a high degree of adaptability, ensuring stable production across diverse field conditions.
