Outsidepride Dundale Spring Field Pea Seeds (Pisum sativum) are versatile and valued for their nitrogen-fixing properties, making them a strong choice for USDA zones 3-10. Suited for spring and fall planting, these field peas thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, growing up to 36-48 inches tall. Known as a valuable cover crop and forage option, they help improve soil structure and nutrient content while offering a protein-rich seed choice for livestock and wildlife.These seeds establish quickly, supporting healthy growth and soil quality. Available in multiple packaging sizes, our field pea seeds are ideal for soil improvement, wildlife attraction, and supporting livestock needs.
High Forage Yields
Our field pea seeds produce high forage yields, ideal for livestock feed and food plots for deer. Known for vigorous growth, they offer dense yields for grazing across varied climates, making them suitable for spring, summer, and fall planting.
Compatibility with Cereal Grains
Spring peas work well with other cover crop seeds, enhancing soil quality and creating a nutrient-rich forage mix. They can be mixed with oats, barley or triticale. They’re an effective choice for establishing food plots to attract deer and support wildlife.
Green Manure Benefits
Field peas contribute valuable nutrients to the soil after each harvest, improving soil structure and promoting healthier growth for subsequent crops, helping increase productivity over time. The thick foliage breaks down easily and enhances the quality of the soil.
Nitrogen Fixation
With natural nitrogen-fixing abilities, field peas enrich soil by converting atmospheric nitrogen into nutrients, potentially reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers, making them a beneficial choice for many farming setups. It also produce large amounts of quality biomass.
Our spring field peas offer exceptional benefits as a cover crop, featuring rapid growth, excellent seeding vigor, and compatibility with wildlife and bird seed mixes. Known for enriching soil, they are an ideal choice for boosting soil health. With strong seeding vigor, our field peas establish a dense ground cover that helps prevent erosion and adds organic material to the soil. Additionally, they attract beneficial wildlife and can be mixed with other seeds to support diverse planting needs.
Our field peas provide a high-protein forage solution, perfect for enhancing livestock health and growth. Ideal as part of a food plot seed mix, field peas are packed with essential nutrients and can be combined with oats, barley, or triticale for a balanced, protein-rich feed. This versatile forage blend supports optimal weight gain, muscle development, and overall vitality, making it an excellent choice for pasture mixes, rotational grazing, and high-yield food plots for livestock.
Our field peas are perfect for enriching soil and supporting robust plant growth. For optimal results, sow field pea seeds at a rate of 75-100 lbs per acre (or 5 lbs per 1,000 square feet). Plant seeds at a depth of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) to ensure strong root establishment. If planning a fall crop, plant towards the end of summer to maximize soil benefits and produce a nutrient-rich harvest. This sowing guide helps boost soil structure, making field peas a valuable addition to any crop rotation or cover crop program.
Plant Dundale spring peas as soon as the fields are able to work and expect field peas to grow rapidly in the spring. Seedlings are able to tolerate frost in the low 20s and will produce a new shoot if frost damage does occur. The plants will flowers in approximately 45 days and are ready for harvest in about 60 days.
Field peas can be mixed with oats, barley or triticale and are an excellent source of protein forage. Research has shown that field pea is an excellent protein supplement in pigs, cattle and poultry rations. They are also excellent in wildlife mixes and bird seed mixes.
Spring field peas are also a good source of green manure for the soil. The thick foliage breaks down easily and enhances the quality of the soil. Field peas also fixate nitrogen and can greatly cut down the need to add fertilizers to the soil. Plant pea seed at a depth of 1 - 2 inches.
