Yakhont

Reliable Yields in Challenging Climates

The «Yakhont» pea variety is a solution developed by the Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center for producers focused on stable grain production in regions with short growing seasons. By prioritizing agronomic efficiency, this variety has become a reliable asset for modern crop rotation.

Harvesting Efficiency

The key advantage of «Yakhont» is its semi-leafless (mustache) architecture. This structural trait provides high lodging resistance, which is critical for farm operations. Key benefits include:

• Seamless direct harvesting with combine harvesters;
• Significant reduction in field losses;
• Optimized post-harvest logistics due to uniform maturity within the 90–100 day growing period.

The moderate height of the plants ensures that the crop remains manageable even under adverse weather conditions, simplifying the overall harvesting workflow.

Integrated Protection

«Yakhont» features strong genetic resistance to root rot and ascochyta blight. By selecting this variety, agronomists can effectively manage input costs, as the inherent resistance significantly reduces the need for frequent fungicide applications. This makes «Yakhont» a cost-effective choice for those looking to maintain high yields and grain quality while minimizing chemical exposure.
