Forage Peas
Estimated Delivery between April 24 and April 26.
Forage Peas are a high-value, high-biomass legume crop selected for its excellent forage quality, strong nitrogen fixation, and versatility in mixed feed and silage systems. This is well suited to New Zealand conditions and (when properly managed) delivers both high feed value and soil fertility benefits.
Sowing Rate: 200-250kg per hectare
Key benefits
- High Feed Quality: Delivers legume-rich feed with elevated protein levels which support animal performance and complement cereal forages.
- Soil Fertility & Rotation Value: Adds nitrogen to the system and breaks cereal disease cycles, improving long-term productivity.
- Flexible Use & Improved Feed Balance: Whether used solo or in a mix, the pea component improves palatability, digestibility and feed value of the crop.
- Supports Silage & Baleage Systems: When paired with cereals, it aids in achieving high dry matter yield and consistent feed quality.
