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.
