Sami z Vusamy

Agronomic Profile of 'Sami z Vusamy' Pea

A 2025 breeding novelty, the 'Sami z Vusamy' variety is a specialized vegetable pea designed for efficient cultivation in the Ukrainian climate. The uniqueness of this variety lies in its morphological features: the plant is almost devoid of leaflets, which is compensated by developed, large stipules with characteristic spotting. This structure significantly reduces the risk of lodging, as powerful tendrils provide reliable interlocking between plants, forming a stable 'frame' in the field.

Field Behavior and Resilience

Under field conditions, the variety demonstrates medium flowering times, allowing it to effectively utilize moisture during the spring period. An important characteristic is its ability to form up to two flowers per node, which, with proper agronomy, ensures stable yields. The absence of anthocyanin coloration and stem fasciation indicates breeding purity and a focus on producing high-quality commercial grain.

• Lodging Resistance: Due to the semi-leafless (tendril) type and strong stem, the variety maintains a vertical position perfectly, which is critical for mechanized harvesting and minimizing losses.
• Stress Response: The short stem and average number of nodes promote optimal nutrient distribution, increasing the plant's endurance during short-term drought periods.
• Adaptation Zones: The variety is recommended for all soil and climatic zones of Ukraine where vegetable pea cultivation is practiced, thanks to its plasticity and adaptability to various soil types.

'Sami z Vusamy' is the choice for farmers focused on efficiency. The absence of excess vegetative mass in the form of leaflets facilitates air circulation within the crop, which reduces the likelihood of fungal diseases typical of dense pea plantings.
