These regional field trials evaluate pea and faba bean varieties for yield, crop establishment, maturity, disease, lodging and overall performance under Alberta growing conditions. The research provides independent data to support pulse variety selection and production decisions
Funders/partners: Alberta pulse growers
Project Overview
- Evaluating pea and faba bean varieties under Alberta growing conditions.
- Conducting replicated field trials to assess the performance and adaptability of new and commercially available pulse varieties.
- Monitoring characteristics including crop establishment, plant height, maturity, lodging resistance, disease, crop vigour and yield.
- Providing independent regional data to support variety selection for Alberta pulse production.
Project Goals
- Compare the yield and agronomic performance of pulse varieties.
- Evaluate variety adaptation and performance under Alberta growing conditions.
- Generate science-based information to support producer variety selection and variety recommendations.
