Cover Crop, Forage, & Wildlife Program

​Icicle: A unique and versatile winter pea with characteristics that make it particularly attractive for markets as a high-biomass-yielding winter pea. Icicle has white flowers that allow for better palatability and digestibility, with good or better durability, unlike any other winter pea.

Max: A very similar to Flex in yield and maturity, as well as diversity in markets it can serve. It has advantages in both Powdery Mildew Resistance, as well as tougher seeds, leading to a higher germination rate.

Compass: The quickest to establish ground cover with the best seedling vigor when compared to other forage/BioCrop™ and wildlife peas. Compass is excellent as a forage pea when planted alone and good when planted with forage oats or triticale. 

Journey: Has exceptionally strong early seedling vigor as its key attribute. This gives Journey a quick start. It has been used as a fall-seeded forage and cover crop pea in California with success. It is also used extensively as a spring-seeded forage pea, either by itself or in blends with spring oats and other spring small-grain forages—variety profile (in development).

Pro 6101: An extremely aggressive winter forage pea with high forage yields and will make an excellent winter cover crop. Its quick growth will also make it a great component for a blend. 

Pro 7110: A semi-leafless winter forage pea variety, giving this variety superior standability compared to most other forage pea varieties, while maintaining a high forage yield. Variety profile (in development).

Whistler: Was the first pea of its kind in the Pacific Northwest. Whistler is a semi-leafless, stand-up winter pea with white flowers and yellow cotyledons. Due to its greenish-yellow seed coat, Whistler is aimed at the feed market as a protein source. Regions: See variety profile (in development).
