3 adapted varieties
In Île-de-France, the local agronomic conditions (Cfb — oceanic temperate climate, 1156 growing degree days, loam soil at pH 6.9, 280 frost-free days) allow pea cultivation.
Favorable growing period: April to October.
Recommended varieties: LS Kalina, LS Paprika, LS Envergure
Sufficient growing degree days (1156 GDD) to complete the pea cycle.
Notable summer water deficit (-203 mm). Pick drought-tolerant varieties.
Long frost-free season (280 days), allowing broad crop cycles.
Favorable growing period: April to October.
Neutral pH (6.9), suitable for most crops.
High-yield spring protein pea with yellow grain, easy harvesting and strong adaptability to all pea markets.
Early spring protein pea with small yellow grain, excellent consistency and strong yield potential.
Very early green spring protein pea with high yield potential, vegetative plant structure and easy harvesting.
Protein pea is traditionally well established in Île-de-France, particularly in Brie. Deep silts, pH 6.9 and relatively cool summer (18.8°C) provide a quality environment. LS Envergure, LS Kalina and LS Paprika exploit these conditions for early spring sowings, complementing winter protein-oilseed crops (rapeseed, faba bean) already well established.
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 Île-de-France.
The favorable sowing window is typically from April 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 Île-de-France conditions with good practices, our adapted varieties target stable, competitive commercial yields. Precise ranges are available on request.
