Lynx winter field pea is an exciting new alternative to Austrian winter pea offering two significant benefits:
Cold tolerance: While Austrians have a cold tolerance of 10°F, Lynx can withstand temperatures as low as – 5°F. That’s an extra 15° of cold tolerance! This is a significant benefit when used as a cover crop or as forage and wildlife feed.
Tannin-free sweetness: Austrian winter peas are bitter tasting; not just the seeds, but the whole plant. This is due to naturally occurring tannins. Lynx are tannin-free and sweet to the taste. The ENTIRE plant is sweet. It is like sugar to wildlife and livestock!
Lynx can be seeded straight or used in mixes with grains, grasses and other legumes, replacing Austrians with a sweeter and more cold tolerant pea.
Lynx is also available with NitroCoat® seed enhancement technology. The Nitro-Coat® process ensures that each seed receives a high level of the correct rhizobium strain so as to provide the maximum potential for forage production, root growth, and nitrogen fixation.
