- Observation Attika ranked first for index value across sowings among 50 European and Australian varieties.
- Observation Attika ranked seventh for grain yield among the 50 varieties.
- Observation Attika outyielded Metaxa by 17% across and within sowing times.
- Observation Attika tended to have greater competitive ability against weeds.
- Observation Attika had 28% lower weed biomass in April.
- Observation Attika had greater crop biomass.
- Intervention effect Autumn sowing led to 56% higher yields than late-winter sowing.
- Intervention effect Autumn sowing gave a better ability to control weeds from late vegetative stages onwards than late-winter sowing.
- Intervention effect The optimal technique (Attika with autumn sowing) could substantially reduce the yield disadvantage of organic cropping relative to conventional farming.
- Recommendation The variety suitability index may be used to recommend or select field pea material adapted to organic or low-input systems.
