A Cold-Tolerant Forage & Cover Crop Pea
Frostmaster Peas combine the forage value of a winter field pea with improved cold tolerance. Their vining growth and large leaves can contribute useful cool-season biomass, while their legume growth provides biological nitrogen fixation for soil-building systems.
Why Use Frostmaster Peas?
A versatile winter pea for forage production, nitrogen fixation and cool-season mixtures.
Improved Cold Tolerance
Selected for improved winter hardiness, helping Frostmaster remain productive through cool-season growing conditions.
Palatable Forage
A white-flowered forage pea known for highly palatable vegetative growth for livestock and wildlife forage applications.
Nitrogen Fixation
As a legume, Frostmaster Peas can fix atmospheric nitrogen and contribute to soil-building cover crop programs.
Mix Versatility
Works well with cereals, grasses, brassicas and other cool-season species in forage and cover crop formulations.
Agronomic Uses
Where Frostmaster Peas Fit
Frostmaster Peas are useful where growers want a cool-season legume that can contribute both forage and soil-building benefits. They can be planted alone or incorporated into mixtures with cereal grains and other cover crop species for additional structure, biomass and diversity.
Establishment & Management
Build a Productive Cool-Season Stand
Frostmaster Peas can be used as a fall-planted winter cover crop or as part of a forage program. Their vining growth habit benefits from cereal companion crops when additional stand structure is desired. Planting timing, seeding rate and grazing or termination management should be matched to the local growing environment and production goal.
Mixing Tip: Combining Frostmaster Peas with a cereal such as triticale, oats or cereal rye can provide structural support for the pea vines while combining legume nitrogen fixation with grass biomass and rooting.
