NICOLAS

Field Stability and Predictability

The 'Nikolas' pea variety is a top choice for growers who prioritize strict maturity timelines and predictable performance. With a growing season of 50 to 60 days, this variety allows for precise planning of agrotechnical operations and product marketing. The operator doesn't have to guess when the harvest peak will occur: the crop demonstrates high uniformity in bean ripening, which significantly simplifies logistics during harvesting.

Agronomic Potential and Specifications

In the field, 'Nikolas' proves to be a highly technological variety. Upon inspection, the uniformity of the pods is immediately apparent, which is critical for mechanized harvesting. Key parameters that an agronomist relies on when planning operations:

• Pod length: 7-8 cm, ensuring efficient handling by equipment.
• Filling: 10-12 peas per pod, guaranteeing a consistently high yield of marketable product per hectare.
• Shape: blunt pod tip, preventing unnecessary losses during transportation.
• Caliber: large-seeded type, traditionally in high demand in both the fresh vegetable market and the processing industry.

Operational Recommendations

Given the variety's early maturity, the primary load falls on the initial stage of vegetation. 'Nikolas' is sensitive to uniform irrigation during the bean-filling period—this factor determines the final size of the peas. The plant features a strong stem, which minimizes the risk of lodging when sowing density standards are followed. This variety was developed by researchers at the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Production, ensuring adaptation to regional climatic conditions and consistent results despite changing weather cycles.
