Pea YEN

Understanding how to drive performance of pea crops, by sharing measurements, experiences and ideas

https://www.yen.adas.co.uk/projects/pea-yen

The Pea YEN was established in 2016 with support from PGRO and 15 commercial sponsors. Pea YEN has sought to understand the variation in combining pea yields between fields, farms and seasons, with a focus on measurements rather than competition. It is open to all interested parties, with all crops entered receiving a comprehensive report, detailing how their crop performed compared to other crops in the YEN.

The first six years of the Pea YEN have been supported by independent pea agronomist Keith Costello sharing his knowledge, taking in-season measures and samples to produce a practical protocol for growers and agronomists specific for peas.

All members will receive a comprehensive report, newsletters and are invited to discuss results, experiences and ideas at the Results Conference.

YEN

Yield Enhancement Networks (YENs) were launched in 2012 to support and energise on-farm learning-by-sharing and thus to enhance farming progress.

Pulse Crops

Pulses are leguminous crops harvested for dry protein-rich seed, with peas (pisum sativum) and beans (vicia faba) being the major crops in the UK.

Farm centric research

Farm-centric research generally involves On-Farm Experimentation and may be better described as 'Farm Action Research', i.e. research conducted at least in part by and for beneficiaries who also farm. 

PGRO

As the UK's centre of excellence for peas and beans, the PGRO has a long and highly valued track record of providing authoritative, up to date information and project work based on solid, reliable research.

Yield

Crop yield has been a major subject of research and industrial improvement for decades.  The YENs have set out a framework for understoanding yield in terms of capture and conversion of the major resources light and water. Temperature plays a role in crop development and can also have a substantial impact on growth and yields.

Peas

Peas (pisum sativum) are grown either for combining dry seed (combining peas) or harvesting fresh as a vegetable or for freezing (vining peas).

It’s worth reflecting on why we export most of the pulse crop we produce in the UK, or simply fee

Crop Monitoring

You need to measure to be able to manage. Yet most farms for most crops don't have a systematic approach to monitoring their crops through the season. This means we lose the opportunity to compare across fields, farms and years. There are now a suite of technologies to sense crops and the ability to share data across farms, providing the opportunity to learn what works on-farm.
