Trials at this location included multiple planting dates to evaluate performance differences across fall and spring conditions.
| Brand | Variety | Type of Variety | Yield Rank | Yield (bu/ac) | Seed Weight (g/1000) | Protein (%) | Flowering Date[1] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ProGene | Payback | Winter; Yellow – Food ingredient market | 1 | 47.5a | 124b | 21.1a | 22-May |
| ProGene | Blaze | Winter; Yellow – Split, food ingredient and pet food markets | 2 | 40.8ab | 134a | 20.8ab | 28-May |

| ProGene | Pro 184-7148 | Winter; Yellow – Whole pea food grade quality | 4 | 36.0b | 124b | 19.8b | 29-May |
[1] Flowering date was determined as 50% of the plants flowering in the plot.
Means followed by the same letter within a column do not differ statistically from each other by the least significant difference test at 5% probability. Seed yield, seed weight, and seed protein concentration are expressed at 12% grain moisture content.
