SPASSKIY

Technical Profile of the Spassky Pea Variety

Spassky is a mid-season vegetable pea variety developed by the Federal Scientific Center for Vegetable Growing. The genetic architecture of this variety is focused on high adaptability and consistent performance, making it a reliable option for both commercial farming and intensive vegetable gardening.

Morphology and Yield Potential

The technical specifications of the pod indicate strong production metrics:

• Vegetation period: 60–70 days, allowing for efficient crop rotation planning.
• Pod geometry: 8–9 cm in length, optimized for standardized processing.
• Filling capacity: 7–9 large peas per pod, ensuring a high yield of marketable grain.
• Seed calibration: Large-seeded type; 1000-seed weight ranges from 200 to 250 grams, reflecting vigorous energy for early plant development.

Phytosanitary Resilience

A key engineering feature of the Spassky selection is its reinforced defense mechanism against pathogens that traditionally threaten legumes. The variety exhibits pronounced resistance to root rot, Fusarium wilt, and Ascochyta blight. This resilience effectively lowers the need for chemical intervention, as the plant actively suppresses the development of rot during critical growth phases, preventing premature wilting and crop loss. Such robustness is a vital factor for fields with high soil-borne infection pressure.
