Avalon

Stability and Yield: Why «Avalon» is the Choice for Crop Rotation

German breeding by P.H.Petersen Saatzucht Lundsgaard is known for its technological edge, and the «Avalon» bean variety is a prime example of a crop that performs consistently in open field conditions. This mid-season variety has a vegetation period of 91 to 110 days, making it an optimal solution for farms aiming to balance harvest timelines and optimize machinery utilization.

Practical Application on the Farm

The core value of «Avalon» lies in its versatility. Unlike highly specialized varieties, this hybrid excels in two key directions:

• Forage Production: Its high protein content makes these beans a valuable component for producing balanced compound feeds, which is critical for livestock enterprises focused on reducing meat and dairy production costs.
• Food Industry: The high quality of the grain allows the harvest to be used in the processing sector, giving farmers flexibility in choosing sales channels based on current market demands.

Agronomic Advantages

A potential yield of 46–50 dt/ha in open field conditions is a high standard that requires adherence to proper agronomic practices; however, with the right approach, «Avalon» delivers excellent results. The variety is resilient and adapts well to the soil and climatic conditions prevalent in many regions where legumes are grown.

For an agronomist, «Avalon» is a reliable tool. Due to its uniform ripening, the farm can plan harvesting operations with minimal losses, avoiding inconsistencies in plant growth stages. By choosing P.H.Petersen products, you gain access to genetic potential backed by a European breeding school focused on intensive agriculture.
