Characteristics
About
A new addition to the 2024 PGRO Descriptive List, KWS Flam is a high yielding yellow pea that will have good potential for both the animal feed and human consumption markets. KWS Flam offers growers easy crop management boasting an excellent yield (107%) combined with all the characters for a safe harvest such as earlier maturity (6) and standing ability through to harvest (7). Throughout the growing season, KWS Flam has a good disease package including resistance to pea wilt along with solid scores for downy mildew (5). As with most commercialised yellow peas on the market, KWS Flam is susceptible to powdery mildew. Agronomically it is a strong contender with a good all-round disease resistance, having stiff straw and good standability through to harvest. Good thousand seed weight (254g) and protein content (21.5%) rounds off this impressive package.
