## Resource

PGRO has unveiled its 2026 Descriptive List for pulses, which contains 11 new pea and bean varieties. Joining Ben Pike in today's special episode of Inside the Pod is Dr Chris Judge, who goes through the new varieties from this year's list, which contains seven new combining peas, two winter beans, and two spring beans. Chris also talks to us about how the Descriptive List trials performed this season, after contending with drought conditions across much of the country and a small number of trial sites failing. The Descriptive List gives growers the opportunity to compare different varieties and evaluate which will suit their situation. You can read the 2026 Descriptive List in full at pgro.org, or you can watch the full launch and presentation presented by Chris on the PGRO YouTube channel.
