Vegetable Pea MILANI

Technical Profile of 'Milani' Vegetable Pea

Developed by the Federal Research Center for Vegetable Growing, the 'Milani' variety is a specialized cultivar focused on high-quality yield output. The primary value of this variety lies in its seed morphology and precise biological cycle timing.

Agrotechnical Indicators and Morphology

• Vegetation period: The 60–70 day cycle classifies it as a mid-season variety, enabling efficient production scheduling.
• Seed size: Large-seeded type. This is a critical metric for the processing and freezing industry, as high thousand-seed weight directly correlates with processed yield quality.

Genetic Potential and Practical Application

The development of this variety by a team of breeders (V.A. Epikhov, N.S. Tsyganok, Y.Y. Polunin) focuses on stabilizing a genotype that meets modern agricultural standards. The selection for large grain size helps minimize losses during mechanized harvesting while ensuring uniform bean maturation. 'Milani' shows high adaptability to specific climate conditions when standard seeding practices and moisture levels during grain filling are maintained. This variety is recommended both for small-scale farms targeting the fresh produce market and for large agribusinesses specialized in deep vegetable processing.
