Pea: revolutionizing Organic Farming with Intercropped Pea Seedlings
Organic farming faces unique challenges, particularly in managing proteins and crop yields. For your pea sowing, the Hr Pea, an innovative variety of winter pea, offers concrete and effective solutions.
Photoperiodism: The Key to the Success of HR Peas
The HR Pea takes advantage of its photoperiodic nature, where the initiation of its flowering depends on the length of the day rather than temperature. This characteristic offers three essential advantages:
- Early pea sowing: allows farmers to start their crops earlier in the season.
- Maturity aligned with cereals: facilitates a coordinated and efficient harvest.
- Optimal ground cover: offers better protection against weeds and soil erosion.
Impact sur les protéines et rendements
Traditionnellement, les variétés de blé à haute teneur en protéines souffrent souvent d’un rendement inférieur. La solution réside dans l’association d’un blé tendre à rendement équilibré avec un pois Hr.
Cet agencement stratégique offre :
- Augmentation de la teneur en protéines : crucial pour satisfaire les exigences des collecteurs en agriculture biologique.
- Réduction des intrants : le pois Hr contribue à la fixation de l’azote, réduisant la dépendance aux fertilisants externes.
- Lutte contre les mauvaises herbes : une meilleure couverture du sol aide à contrôler
naturellement le salissement.
- Sécurisation de la récolte : en renforçant la culture contre les risques tels que la verse.
Pea Sowing Advice and Crop Management
The sowing date is crucial to maximize the benefits of Hr peas. The ideal periods follow the end of winter soft wheat sowing, avoiding less effective late sowing. In terms of density, 150 kg/ha is recommended on clay-loam soils, adjustable according to soil texture and depth.
The Future of HR Peas in Organic Agriculture
The combination of HR peas with cereals represents more than a technical innovation. It is a step towards more productive and sustainable organic agriculture.
This allows farmers to meet high standards while maximizing profitability and promoting responsible agricultural practices.
