Abstract
AAC Chrome is a semi-leafless, yellow cotyledon field pea (Pisum sativum L.) variety developed at the Lacombe Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lacombe, AB. It has high yielding potential, medium maturity, and good lodging resistance. AAC Chrome has a maturity of 95 d and thousand-seed weight of 241 g. AAC Chrome is resistant to powdery mildew (caused by Erysiphe pisi), moderately tolerant to mycosphaerella blight (caused by Mycosphaerella pinodes), and moderately susceptible to fusarium wilt (caused by Fusarium oxysporum). AAC Chrome is adapted to all field pea growing regions in western Canada.
