Arvika | Forage Peas

Arvika is the most famous worldwide variety of forage pea. It is suited for producing fresh fodder, hay, and can also be used as a cover crop or green manure. High protein content ensures good feeding quality in most fodder systems. Arvika also enriches the soil with nitrogen harvested from the air and is ideal for crop rotation. The ideal planting time is from the end of April to mid-June but is moisture dependant. Forage Peas can be susceptible to leaf and stem disease with early establishments.

Forage Peas are an important component of autumn and winter forage and cover crop mixtures with cereals.

Legumes
Legumes drive pasture production by producing nitrogen. They must be carefully inoculated to ensure success. Adequate pasture nutrition is important for maintaining the dominance of improved species in a pasture. Nitrogen is one of the most important elements of pasture nutrition. Protein levels and the digestibility of pastures are improved by legumes, resulting in improved livestock performance.
