Kharkiv Amber

Stable Yield and High Nutritional Value

The "Kharkivskyi Yantarnyi" pea is a selection achievement of the V.Ya. Yuriev Institute of Plant Production, specifically developed for high-quality grain production. The variety performs reliably in Ukraine's climate, delivering predictable results under standard agronomic practices. Its 90–100 day growth cycle allows farmers to optimize sowing schedules, ensuring harvest before peak summer temperatures to minimize moisture stress.

Disease Resistance and Crop Protection

The primary value of this variety for farm operations lies in its comprehensive resistance to a wide range of diseases that typically impact legume profitability:

• High tolerance to downy mildew (peronosporosis) and rhizoctonia root rot significantly reduces the need for aggressive fungicide applications.
• The variety effectively withstands ascochyta blight, rust, fusarium, and septoria, simplifying crop management during wet, high-rainfall seasons.

Economic Efficiency

With an average plant height, this variety forms pods prized for their high protein content (24–26%). The large grain size (1,000-seed weight of 260–280 grams) makes this pea highly desirable for both domestic food markets and processing facilities producing feed mixtures and food products.

Practical application: this variety is ideal for farms aiming to reduce pesticide usage and those needing a crop with a short growth cycle for crop rotation. The stable seed weight ensures consistent market quality, while the resistance to rot helps maintain yield integrity even during prolonged wet conditions during the ripening phase.
