3 adapted varieties
In Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the local agronomic conditions (Cfb — oceanic temperate climate, 1576 growing degree days, loam soil at pH 6.3, 307 frost-free days) allow pea cultivation.
Favorable growing period: April to October.
Recommended varieties: LS Envergure, LS Kalina, LS Paprika
Sufficient growing degree days (1576 GDD) to complete the pea cycle.
Balanced summer water budget — no significant water stress.
Long frost-free season (307 days), allowing broad crop cycles.
Favorable growing period: April to October.
Neutral pH (6.3), suitable for most crops.
Very early green spring protein pea with high yield potential, vegetative plant structure and easy harvesting.
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.
Protein and yellow peas find favourable spring sowing conditions in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, especially in Poitou-Charentes. Deep silt loams and regular Atlantic rainfall secure establishment. LS Envergure, LS Kalina and LS Paprika bring valuable nitrogen diversification to rotations often dominated by cereals and sunflower. The relatively cool early cycle limits weevil pressure.
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 Nouvelle-Aquitaine.
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 Nouvelle-Aquitaine conditions with good practices, our adapted varieties target stable, competitive commercial yields. Precise ranges are available on request.
