The vegetable pea variety ORIENT is an early-maturing sweet crop, ripening within 45-50 days from full emergence to technical maturity. The plant has a strong structure and a stem length of 50-70 cm. Pods are long, broad, slightly curved, and have a pointed tip, appearing light green at technical maturity. The number of seeds per pod ranges from 9 to 11, and the number of pods per node is predominantly three. The seeds are dark green, with 6-8 seeds per pod. Average yield reaches 5-6 tons per hectare.
This pea variety is distinguished by the absence of a parchment layer in the pods, making it especially attractive for fresh consumption, culinary use, and canning. Due to its early maturity and strong plant structure, ORIENT is suitable for cultivation in various climatic conditions with a sum of active temperatures around 700 °C until technical maturity.
Peas, as a leguminous crop, are valued for their high content of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber, making them a nutritious and beneficial product for both humans and animals. They are widely used in agriculture for producing flour, vegetables, and other products. Successful pea cultivation requires fertile soils, adequate sunlight, and moderate watering, which contribute to obtaining a high-quality yield.
