'Trounce' is a new maincrop freezer pea developed for the vegetable pr
ocessing industry. Its main advantage is its high level of resistance
to powdery mildew (Erisyphe pisi DC). It is a mid-season maturity cult
ivar resistant to pea common wilt (Fusarium oxysporum fsp. pisi race 1
), pea top yellows virus, and bean yellow mosaic virus. In 15 evaluati
on trials over 3 years, it has consistently outyielded the standard cu
ltivars. 'Trounce' has performed well in quality assessments testing i
ts suitability for freezing. A notable feature of this cultivar is the
high proportion of small peas produced.
