One of the pillars of best management practices for every crop is selecting a variety that is suited to your particular growing environment. The Alberta Pulse Growers (APG) has funded regional variety trials across the province for many years to ensure that our growers have current yield, standability and disease resistance information relevant to their own farms.
APG is committed to ensuring high quality data and sharing it in an easy-to-use way with the producers who need it. Only trials that meet industry standards for data quality are published. This web tool was designed to allow Alberta pulse producers to access the information they need when they need it. We hope that you find this tool useful and informative.

In Alberta, production of pulses occurs in most cropping regions, though the distribution of a particular pulse crop may be limited.
To see how current varieties performed in each soil zone, view the soil ecozone map:
Field Peas
Dry Beans
Production occurs predominantly in the irrigated fields of Southern Alberta, surrounding Bow Island, Taber, and Vauxhall.
Chickpeas
Production occurs predominantly in Southern Alberta, where the growing season is longest, and drought stress can be used to induce podset in this indeterminate crop.
Lentils
Production also occurs predominantly in Southern Alberta, along with a small strip along the eastern border.
Faba Beans
