CERESA

Vegetable pea variety Ceres belongs to mid-season and mid-late crops; the period from full germination to technical maturity is approximately 57-62 days. The plant is characterized by a long stem and dark blue-green leaves. Pods of this variety are short, weakly curved, with dark green peas possessing an excellent taste. The variety is distinguished by simultaneous ripening and high cold-hardiness: seedlings can withstand frosts down to -6 °C. Ceres is not demanding on soil fertility and contributes to the enrichment of the plough layer with nitrogen due to the formation of root nodules, which positively affects the growth of vegetative mass. For successful cultivation of sweet pea Ceres, it is recommended to plant it in warmed soil, taking into account the climatic features of the region. The plant requires regular watering and feeding to maintain health and productivity. When growing in greenhouses, attention must be paid to the prevention of diseases such as powdery mildew, as well as pest control to preserve the quality of the harvest. After harvesting, green peas of the Ceres variety should be stored in cool and dark conditions, which allows them to retain freshness and taste qualities. Thanks to its agronomic characteristics and taste merits, this pea variety is an excellent choice for growing both in open ground and in protected ground.
