New study reveals key factors for maximizing green pea yield.
The study looked at different types of table peas to see how their characteristics are related to the amount of green pods they produce. They found that traits like pod length, width, number of seeds per pod, and protein content are important for predicting green pod yield. Some traits, like number of pods per plant and pod length, have a big impact on yield. Other traits, like seeds per pod and protein content, also play a role but to a lesser extent. Overall, the study suggests that certain characteristics can help farmers choose the best peas for higher yields.
