3 adapted varieties
In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, the local agronomic conditions (Cfb — oceanic temperate climate, 1192 growing degree days, clay loam soil at pH 7.8, 251 frost-free days) are particularly favorable to pea cultivation.
Favorable growing period: May to October.
Recommended varieties: LS Envergure, LS Paprika, LS Kalina
Sufficient growing degree days (1192 GDD) to complete the pea cycle.
Balanced summer water budget — no significant water stress.
Long frost-free season (251 days), allowing broad crop cycles.
Favorable growing period: May to October.
Alkaline soil (pH 7.8), watch for micronutrient deficiencies.
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.
High-yield spring protein pea with yellow grain, easy harvesting and strong adaptability to all pea markets.
Key agronomic watchpoints in this zone:
Protein pea can fit in PACA short rotations producing before the dry summer, particularly with autumn sowing. The cool early cycle protects flowering from heat stress. LS Envergure, LS Kalina and LS Paprika can be considered in Crau or the Comtat plain on the best-watered soils with fine pH management (7.8 remains alkaline for the 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 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
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 Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur conditions with good practices, our adapted varieties target stable, competitive commercial yields. Precise ranges are available on request.
