Field pea Geneva

Stable yields for canning and the fresh market

Geneva peas from the breeders at Nunhems are the choice for professional vegetable growers focused on predictable, high-quality harvests. With a vegetative period of 60–70 days, this variety fits perfectly into succession planting schedules, allowing producers to plan harvest cycles with high precision.

Agronomic Advantages

The primary value of the Geneva variety lies in its combination of high marketability and stable pod characteristics. With a pod length of 8–9 cm, it produces 8–10 uniform, medium-sized peas inside. This performance makes the variety highly effective both for "fresh-in-pod" sales and for the processing industry, where raw material uniformity is critical.

• Harvest Optimization: Pods are positioned to facilitate easy harvesting, whether manual or mechanized.
• Quality Control: Excellent stand density and resistance to lodging help reduce losses during the ripening phase.
• Consistent Demand: The medium-seeded type is a "gold standard" for consumers who value tender texture and rich flavor.

Practical experience shows that Geneva reaches its full potential in fertile, well-drained soils. Agronomists recommend following the seeding density guidelines provided in the Nunhems technical manual to ensure proper airflow between rows, preventing fungal disease outbreaks during the seed-filling stage. For farms operating in the fresh market, this variety is a key tool for building a reputation as a supplier of consistent quality, trusted by retail supermarket chains.
