Variety description

10 August 2026

The Rafale variety is historically mentioned as a field pea of French breeding. Data on its use are recorded in the official variety catalogs of a number of European countries, where its status is currently defined as inactive due to the expiration of the registration period.

In scientific literature, the Rafale variety is mentioned primarily as an object of experimental research. In particular, it was used to study the response of genotypes to photoperiod, investigate tolerance to low temperatures, and assess resistance to diseases such as Pseudomonas syringae.
