About
Mankato has come from KWS Momonts highly successful pulse breeding programme. It is medium height with exceptional straw strength and good standing to ensure a safe harvest. It is a very high yielding variety nationally over a range of soil types. Mankato has a strong disease package including resistance to pea wilt. It is the next step up from older competitor varieties. We have seen Mankato demonstrate fantastic colour retention compared to other large blue varieties, leading to higher premiums paid at the farm gate. In short Mankato ticks all the boxes for UK pea growers and end users alike.
