Pois potager
Pisum sativum
Une légumineuse annuelle de saison fraîche cultivée pour ses gousses comestibles ou ses petits pois verts écossés. Auto-fécondant dans le bouton — parmi les légumes potagères les plus fiables et l'espèce que Mendel a utilisée pour établir la génétique moderne. Les types grimpants atteignent 5-6 feet ; les types nains restent sous 24". Fixe l'azote atmosphérique via des nodosités à Rhizobium — laisse le sol enrichi pour la culture suivante.
