Paddle

French Excellence in Pea Breeding

The «Paddle» pea variety, developed by the renowned French seed house Florimond-Desprez Veuve et Fils, stands out as a top-tier choice for farmers focused on high-efficiency cultivation. Known for its robust genetics, this variety is engineered to meet the demands of modern intensive agriculture.

Technical Superiority and Field Performance

As a semi-leafless (tendril) type pea, «Paddle» is specifically designed to maximize harvest efficiency. Its architectural structure significantly improves standability, effectively preventing lodging. With a plant height of 60–80 cm and an excellent suitability for direct combining, this variety drastically reduces harvest losses and operation time.

• Disease Resilience: The variety exhibits strong genetic resistance to Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta blight, providing a reliable safety net against common fungal threats and reducing the need for intensive chemical treatments.
• Yield and Quality: With a growing season of 75–85 days, «Paddle» optimizes the early moisture window. A protein content of 21% and a thousand-seed weight of 240–270 grams ensure that the output is highly valued for both commercial food markets and feed processing.

Florimond-Desprez Veuve et Fils has crafted a variety that blends consistency with productivity. For growers looking to minimize downtime during harvest and ensure stable, high-quality yields year after year, «Paddle» remains one of the most reliable selections in the French pea portfolio.
