Popis: | ‘Crown’ is a new short‐strawed field pea (Pisum sativum) with purple flowers and a mottled brown and light tan seed coat. It has been developed for use as a spring‐sown grain pea in the export ‘maple’ pea trade. In regional evaluation trials in Canterbury, New Zealand, over six seasons, ‘Crown’ has consistently out‐yielded the standard cultivar ‘Whero’. Because of its short stature and relatively prostrate growth habit ‘Crown’ is best suited to medium‐high fertility soils and access to irrigation to facilitate easy harvest. |
