In the Šumperk region, the beginning of July is a good time for harvesting. For ensiling, semi-leafness peas of the Gambit variety were the most suitable. The nutritional values and yields of the pea variety Protecta were comparable to those of the semi-leafness pea. In the next year, it is necessary to focus not only on comparing varieties and determining a suitable harvest date, but also on solving the harvesting technology. If the peas are harvested for ensiling at a suitable stage, they do not reach the required DM content for a good fermentation, but a two-phase harvest is not suitable (difficult loading and usually a higher ash content).
