Combining Peas
We have two varieties, both bred by Serasem, on the 2010 PGRO Combining Pea Recommended List. Our high yielding white pea Gregor has progressed from P1 to P2 recommendation, whilst our large blue pea Bluestar - with yields that match those of Prophet - has been added with a provisional (P1) recommendation.
Two new varieties, Franklin from Serasem, and Salamanca from NPZ - both white peas - have been taken forward into PGRO 2010 Recommended List trials for potential approval this autumn.
More peas are set to follow with material in National List trials covering most types - blues, whites and marrowfats.
Field Beans
Our pale hilum spring bean Fury from NPZ - higher-yielding than the market leader Fuego (also from NPZ) - has been added to the 2010 PGRO Recommended List with a provisional (P1) recommendation.
The winter bean Husky (NPZ) has also progressed to (P1) on the 2010 PGRO list. Husky has a pale hilum too with grain quality well suited to export premium markets - and its yield matches those of market leader Wizard.
Our specialist tannin-free spring bean Tattoo (NPZ) is also being marketed in the UK through KWS.
