The Federal Scientific Centre of Legumes and Groat Crops (FSC LGC) has selected a medium-maturing (average 84 days) peas variety Estafeta to improve productivity, grain quality and processability. Thanks to its tendril-shaped, rigid leaf structure and strong stem, the agrocenosis of this variety forms a highly lodging-resistant crop stand capable of withstanding adverse environmental factors such as strong gusts of wind or heavy rainfall. The new variety has a high productivity potential, with an average yield over the years of the competitive varietal testing (CVT) of 37.3 c/ha, which is 3.6 c/ha higher than the standard. The maximum yield in the CVT was obtained in 2017 - 47.7 c/ha; in the state variety testing – in 2020 at the Lipetsk variety testing station - 50.3 c/ha. In terms of seed quality, Estafeta can be classified as a food variety. It has good culinary advantages - taste, boilability - better than the standard. Protein content at the level of the standard 20…25%. Approved for cultivation in the Central region by the Russian State Variety Commission for Testing and Protection of Breeding Achievements since 2021.
