Field pea is the most produced and exported pulse crop in Canada. Canadian field pea exported to countries with tropical climates is at particular risk due to rapid deterioration. It is therefore important to develop practical strategies for safe storage of field pea, which is most often exported as animal feed. This study was conducted to examine the conditions that lead to mold growth during the storage and transport of field pea. Tropical and subtropical conditions were simulated in airtight chambers. Relative humidities (RH) of 60, 70, 80, and 90% and temperatures of 10, 20, 30, and 40°C were used. Both whole sound pea and feed-grade pea were observed for changes in moisture content (MC) and mold appearance at different time intervals. Concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during storage was measured in airtight chambers to control the condition existing in sealed containers. Molds were identified after their appearance on the samples. Mold-free days for both feed-grade pea and whole sound pea were modeled at temperatures of 10, 20, 30, and 40°C and RH of 80 and 90%. It was found that if the temperature and RH exceeded 20°C, and 80%, respectively, the shelf-life of both whole sound pea and feed-grade pea was shortened to 35 and 40 days, respectively. Whole sound pea was contaminated by storage fungi, whereas feed-grade pea was contaminated by both storage and field fungi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is a lack of persistent forage legumes for permanent pastures in eastern Canada. Kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.; KC) is a long‐lived species, with demonstrated potential in various regions, however, there is a lack of information on its performance in mixtures with grasses and no comparisons with white clover (Trifolium repens L.; WC), the main legume species recommended for pastures in eastern Canada. Objectives were to evaluate the potential of KC when grown in mixtures with grasses and compare its performance with WC based‐mixtures and N‐fertilized grass monocultures. Twenty treatments that included KC, WC, and six perennial grasses species (Kentucky bluegrass [Poa pratensis L.; KB], meadow bromegrass [Bromus biebersteinii Roem. & Schult., MB], orchardgrass [Dactylis glomerata L., OR], smooth bromegrass [Bromus inermis L.; SB], tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.) Dumort.; TF], and timothy [Phleum pratense L.; TI]) seeded alone and in binary mixtures were seeded in 2 yr at two sites and monitored for up to four production years. During the first production year, WC‐based mixtures yields were overall greater than those of KC‐based mixtures, while in the second production year and onwards, KC treatments had similar or greater yields than WC, illustrating the greater persistence of KC. Adding KC to grasses also increased total forage yields by 13% on average compared to N‐fertilized solo‐seeded grasses. The performance of specific KC–grass mixtures was variable across sites‐years with no specific mixture being consistently more productive. Kura clover is adapted to contrasting environments of Québec and appears to be a suitable alternative to WC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
