Ceora is the first grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) cultivar to be bred and released in Australia. It has a growth habit similar to field peas, and is intended to fulfill a multi-purpose role as a low cost, low input grain legume, green forage species, hay or green manure crop. This Farmnote discusses the status of Ceora, how it can be utilised, soil and rainfall requirements, its agronomy (including time of sowing, sowing rate, innoculation, fertiliser, sowing depth, weed control, diseases, insect pests and rvesting), and its role in farming systems. It also discusses biosecurity requirements.
