The research was conducted during the growing season in 2013-
2014 in Bssiren Hama. In a split- plot design: the varieties were
main plots (asgro, rama, Muncipal) and the sowing dates were subplots (15\11;30\11;15\12 and 30\12) and the densities we
re subplots (20 plant\m2, 13.33 plant\m2). The early planting went to Significant increase in the days to germination, long time of fruit; the number of days to flowering and the number of days to fruiting; Plant height; Number of branches plant ; weight of pod; number of pods plant; dressing percentage; Yield of green pods plant and
Yield of green pods. While the high density was observed
Significant increase in the Plant height; Number of branches plant;
weight of pod; number of pods plant; and Yield of green pods
plant, while the low density was observed Significant increase in the Yield of green pods. The Asgro variety was obtained at Rama and Muncipal varieties in the number of branches plant; number of pods; Yield of green pods plant and, while the Rama variety was obtained by the plant height, and non- significant results were found among varieties by the weight of pod. The positive results also showed in the interaction among factors.
The changes in green peas, processed by using freezing and bleaching were
compared with their chemical composition (moisture, ash, sugar, fat). Effect of
freezing and bleaching processes of green peas on the ascorbic acid, total
phenolic compounds
,and antioxidant activity were investigated. Significant
changes were occurred between fresh and processed peas with regard to their
content of ascorbic acid, total phenols, and antioxidant activity as measured by
DPPH. Vitamin C content reduced to 65% in frozen peas and to16% in
bleaching peas. The decreased in total phenols was less, being 150mg/100g fw in
fresh peas reduced to 140 mg/100g fw in bleaching peas, and reached 120mg
/100g fw in freeze peas. These changes have been reflected significantly
(P<0.05) in antioxidant activities. Storage of green peas, frozen or boiled peas,
for 8 weeks, resulted in significant loss in vit C, antioxidant activity(P<0.05).
The study was carried out at AL-Rasheedia Agricultural Research Station,
Nineveh, to evaluate nine introduce pea cultivars for dry production, during
two fall growing seasons of (2000- 2001) and (2001- 2002).
The results showed that the cultivar,
P.S.510571 gave the highest value in
plant length at both two seasons. The cultivar, M.G.102703 was superior in the
number of pods per plant, pod weight, weight of 1000 seeds, and gave higher
yield of dry production per unit area (722.5 and 780.2 kg/ donum) for the two
seasons, respectively.
However, the width of pods wasn't significantly different among the
cultivars in both two seasons.
