How Vibe analyzers were used

Eight yellow pea genotypes grown across four locations were evaluated for composition and milling performance. Image analysis quantified seed size/shape traits to link genotype-by-environment effects with dehulling, splitting efficiency, and flour yields.

Study overview

This study investigated the effects of genotype, growing location, and their interaction on milling of peas and on the chemical and physical characteristics of pea seeds by testing eight genotypes of yellow peas grown in four different locations.
