3 adapted varieties
In Bretagne, the local agronomic conditions (Cfb — oceanic temperate climate, 1014 growing degree days, silt loam soil at pH 5.5, 305 frost-free days) are particularly favorable to pea cultivation.
Favorable growing period: May to October.
Recommended varieties: LS Kalina, LS Envergure, LS Paprika
Sufficient growing degree days (1014 GDD) to complete the pea cycle.
Notable summer water deficit (-127 mm). Pick drought-tolerant varieties.
Long frost-free season (305 days), allowing broad crop cycles.
Favorable growing period: May to October.
Slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5). Liming can improve performance.
High-yield spring protein pea with yellow grain, easy harvesting and strong adaptability to all pea markets.
Very early green spring protein pea with high yield potential, vegetative plant structure and easy harvesting.
Early spring protein pea with small yellow grain, excellent consistency and strong yield potential.
Protein pea finds in Brittany a cool, regular oceanic climate ideal for emergence and flowering. The acidic pH (5.5) requires liming attention, but silt-loam soils are otherwise well suited. LS Envergure, LS Kalina and LS Paprika can diversify rotations often reduced to maize–wheat–ryegrass in livestock zones, bringing a structuring effect and valuable nitrogen for the following crop.
The varieties recommended above are pre-selected based on local climate, soil and disease pressure. Top picks combine adapted maturity, yield stability and the specific disease tolerances needed in Bretagne.
The favorable sowing window is typically from May to October. Exact timing depends on soil temperature (>10°C at 5 cm), weather forecast and your local agronomist's advice.
Yields depend on variety, agronomic management and the season. Under typical Bretagne conditions with good practices, our adapted varieties target stable, competitive commercial yields. Precise ranges are available on request.
