Peas

The 2023 PGRO Descriptive Lists for combining peas show that LSPB varieties continue to offer pulse growers a wide choice to meet their yield, agronomy and marketing priorities.

Carrington is the top yielding pea on the PGRO DL and joins newly-added Butterfly, Stroma, Bluetime green peas, Orchestra yellow pea and top-yielding Akooma and newly-added Takayama marrowfats.

Looking to the future, we have a range of promising Candidates for the DL in the pipeline - including combining pea varieties to do our part in developing the UK pulse crop in the future.
