Diverse Flowering Beauty: Field Forage Peas showcase a captivating array of flower colors, including white, pink, lavender, blue, and purple, representing different cultivars. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these vibrant flowers serve as a precursor to the development of pods that contain several seeds. Initially flattened when young, the pods later acquire a roundish shape and exhibit dehiscence along two sides. The seeds themselves vary in characteristics, ranging from globose to angled, and can be smooth or wrinkled, appearing in shades of whitish, gray, green, or brownish.
Adaptability and Soil Preference: Field Peas exhibit remarkable adaptability to a range of soil types, but they truly excel in clay soils and alluvial bottom areas. While they can tolerate various conditions, they prefer a cool, relatively humid climate and thrive at higher altitudes in tropical regions. However, it’s important to note that drought conditions during the flowering stage can significantly impact production. To ensure optimal growth and yield, it’s crucial to provide adequate moisture during this critical phase.
High-Nutrition Forage: Field peas are highly valued for their ability to produce protein-rich, high-nutrition forage. They serve as an excellent source of feed for livestock, offering substantial nutritive value. However, when grazing Field Peas, it’s important to implement strip-grazing techniques to minimize wastage. While the forage is protein-rich, there is a potential risk of bloat in grazing animals. The presence of condensed tannins in the forage helps mitigate this risk, although tannin levels can vary.
Annual Life Cycle: Field Forage Peas are annual plants, completing their life cycle within a single growing season. This characteristic allows for flexibility in crop rotation and the incorporation of other desirable forage or cash crops into your agricultural system.
Upright Growth Habit & Regrowth Potential: Field Forage Peas exhibit an upright growth form, with tangled vegetation creating a dense and productive stand. Late-maturing types tend to display a more prostrate growth habit compared to their early-maturing counterparts. This variation in growth habit provides options for different management strategies and objectives.
