Abstract
The booklet "Organic pea production" describes in detail the technical process of organic pea cultivation: place of cultivation in the rotation, varietal choice, seedlings, weeding, pests and diseases, harvesting and economic data. It also presents a map of the crop in France, specifying potential yields and the main obstacles to cultivation. It provides information on the use of peas in pig and poultry feed. This tool is interesting for both farmers and advisors. It is specific to organic farming. Some of the information can be used beyond France, but some is specific to France.
