New Peas for Low Rainfall Areas




GRDC - Driving Agronomy Podcasts show

Summary: GRDC funding has led to the development of two new field pea varieties – PBA Gunyah and PBA Twilight – that will see field pea production expand into low to medium rainfall areas in the southern and western cropping regions. The new varieties provide the same agronomic benefits of the popular Kaspa, but are much earlier flowering, have significantly higher grain yield and are more reliable in low rainfall areas.
