'ND Dawn' yellow pea (RFP-323)
ND Dawn is the first field pea developed by North Dakota State University and was released by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2020. The variety was derived from a cross of DS Admiral/PS0010836. DS Admiral is the industry standard for yellow pea and being used as a ‘check’ variety at many agriculture experiment stations. PS0010836 is a smooth yellow pea germplasm known for its large seed size.
Based on 2015-2017 data comprised of 18 nurseries, ND Dawn has high yield potential in ND environment. Its seed yield (2,536.8 lb/a) is not significantly different from standard cultivars such as Agassiz, Copper and Admiral, and outperforms other cultivars such as CDC Golden, Striker, and Aragorn. It has early maturity (about 95 days) which is favorable in ND growing conditions. ND Dawn is tolerant to lodging and has a good standability.
Similar to DS Admiral, ND Dawn produces a very uniform round seed processors can pick out from any other variety. Seed size for ND Dawn is similar to Navarro (large yellow pea) and a bit larger than a medium yellow check cultivar, Agassiz. It has total protein content of (24.1%) which is ideal for processors to get premium price for high-protein peas.
To help ensure genetic purity, 'ND Dawn' yellow pea has been protected under PVPA Title V (certificate no. 202000363) and must be sold as a class of certified seed.
