Forage Pea – Pisum sativum
Forage Pea is an annual, cool season legume with an upright- or prostrate- growth form.
Forage Peas have a dual purpose, namely used for grain- and as a diverse forage crop.
Legumes have the ability to fix atmospheric Nitrogen, reduce the N requirements of the
species in a blend as well as the follow-up crop. An annual rainfall of 800 mm and more is
required for production, but best productions are achieved under irrigation.

Benefits

One of the primary benefits of forage pea is its nitrogen-fixing ability, which naturally enriches the soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and supports healthier soil for subsequent crops. The dense foliage of forage pea also provides effective weed suppression, while its root system helps prevent soil erosion and improves soil structure. As a forage crop, it offers high protein content and digestibility, enhancing livestock health and productivity.
