Field pea Vada

Consistent Yield and Disease Resistance

The Vada vegetable pea from Nunhems is the preferred choice for commercial farms focused on predictable results in mid-season production. With a growing cycle of 60–70 days, it allows for precise planning of harvesting sequences and processing logistics.

The practical value of this hybrid lies in its strong genetic resistance. In intensive farming systems where soil-borne pathogens can be problematic, Vada shows excellent tolerance to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum), which is critical for maintaining plant population density through to technical maturity. Furthermore, its resistance to powdery mildew significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications, directly lowering production costs.

Agronomic Specifications

• Seed Type: Mid-sized, perfectly suited for standard processing machinery.
• Thousand Kernel Weight: 200–220 grams, ensuring uniform emergence and robust root system development.
• Management: The variety thrives in well-drained soils, provided that standard crop rotation practices are followed to avoid legume-related soil fatigue.

Utilizing this Nunhems hybrid is essential when the goal is to produce high-quality commodity grain with excellent sensory characteristics. Vada is resilient to the environmental stressors common during the spring-summer cycle, making it a reliable asset for both fresh market producers and the canning industry.
