Evaluation of Peas Cultivars for Dry Production under Conditions of Nineveh, Al-Rasheedia


Abstract in English

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.
