Pea Vektor

Efficient Harvesting with the «Vektor» Pea

The «Vektor» pea variety, developed by the Polissia Institute of Agriculture, is designed for modern agronomic practices where efficiency and harvest security are top priorities. Its semi-leafless (tendril) morphology creates a robust, interlocking canopy that resists lodging even under adverse weather conditions. This structural stability enables direct harvesting, significantly reducing machinery transit time and harvest-related grain losses.

Field Performance and Agrotechnical Advantages

• Optimized Harvesting: With a plant height of 50–85 cm, the variety is perfectly suited for modern combine headers, facilitating high-speed direct harvesting.
• Resilience: The breeding program focuses on strong resistance to Fusarium root rot and Ascochyta blight. This natural defense reduces the reliance on heavy fungicide applications during the vegetative phase.
• Predictable Maturity: A vegetation period of 70–80 days allows for precise crop rotation planning, ensuring consistent field operations across diverse farm layouts.

Grain Economics

With a 1000-seed weight of 200–260 grams and a protein content of 22–25%, «Vektor» provides high marketability for both feed production and export markets. It is an excellent choice for growers looking for a reliable, easy-to-manage crop that maximizes yield consistency while minimizing post-harvest expenses. The variety thrives in the fertile soils of the Polissia and Forest-Steppe regions, proving its value as a consistent, low-risk commodity in intensive farming systems.
