Plant Characteristics

Pod Characteristics

Better Heat Set

One of the important characteristics of Advanta ADV 12 is its better heat-set ability. This feature supports pod setting when growing conditions become comparatively warmer.

Actual crop performance will still depend on sowing period, temperature, irrigation, nutrition and overall field management.

Powdery Mildew Tolerance

ADV 12 has tolerance to powdery mildew, an important disease characteristic for pea cultivation.

Tolerance should not be interpreted as complete immunity. Farmers should continue regular field monitoring and follow appropriate disease-management practices whenever required.
