Description 

The Obonuco San Isidro pea variety stands out for having a green grain yield of 3,510 kilograms per hectare and 1,120 kilograms per hectare of dry grain. This variety has a longer green grain residence time without oxidizing or germinating (14.3 days before oxidation and 11 days before germination), which represents a reduction in postharvest losses and ensures a high commercial value in the Department of Nariño and its positioning in the national market.

According to the ICA registry, this variety presents resistance to the most limiting diseases of the crop: anthracnose and ascochyta; however, currently, the presence of these diseases has been found.

The Obonuco San Isidro pea variety is recommended for pea-producing municipalities in the Department of Nariño.
