Description

Biomaster peas are fast-growing, proprietary peas developed for outstanding forage and biomass production. Biomasters are strong veining peas with large leaves and pink flowers. It is a very fast-growing pea with most production made within 45-60 days after planting.

Because of its rapid growth, it is an excellent plow-down crop producing high amounts of nitrogen for subsequent cropping seasons. University trials have shown Biomasters to be one of the top nitrogen-fixing legumes as well as produce higher yields compared to other fall-grown peas. Biomaster peas are a must for any cover crop/green manure crop.
