NIKITKA

The vegetable pea variety NIKITKA is a mid-season and early-season variety with a maturity period ranging from 53 to 80 days depending on growing conditions. The plants feature compact growth with a height from 50 to 120 cm; most descriptions note short-stemmedness and the lack of need for support due to stem strength and resistance to lodging. Leaves are modified into tendrils, which facilitate ease of cultivation and harvest.

The peas of NIKITKA have a weakly curved shape with a blunt tip, medium length and width, green in color without a parchment layer, which improves their taste qualities and makes them convenient for consumption. Each pod contains 8-9 large, sweet, and tasty peas, making the variety especially attractive for fresh consumption, home cooking, canning, drying, and freezing. Peas at technical maturity are smooth and uniform in size, which facilitates processing.

For cultivating the NIKITKA variety, early spring sowing is recommended on the sunny side of the plot at a depth of 4-6 cm using a 15x30 cm scheme. The variety is characterized by high yield — from 0.2 to 0.4 kg per square meter, as well as a long fruiting period that can continue practically until frost. These characteristics make NIKITKA a universal and reliable choice for gardeners seeking to obtain quality and tasty vegetable peas.
