“…Fall sown peas can be established with potentially higher yields than spring sown crops. In France, winter hardy pea varieties yielded 40 % more than spring varieties (Cousin 1976). Previous studies with fababean.…”

“…Our results do not agree with some earlier findings. Effect of seeding rate variation on seed yield was minimal under humid conditions (Cousin et al 1985, Silim et al 1985, Heath and Hebblethwaite 1992. Under dry conditions in Idaho, USA, optimum populations of field pea in the spritig were 55 65 plants m"' (Murray and Slinkard 1969).…”

The efifects of three seeding rates (25, 50, and 100 seeds m"") on several morphological traits, and dry matter, seed and protein yields were evaluated in two leafed, two semi-leafless and two tare-leaved pea {Pisum sativum L.) cultivars, with fall and spring sowing for 3 years. The experiments were conducted under rain-fed conditions in the Bursa Region of Turkey.Sowing season, seeding rate and cultivar type had a significant effect on most of the measured traits and the yield determinants. The actual number of seedlings per unit area varied greatly among varieties, sowing seasons and climatic conditions during emergence. Fall sowings had taller plants, and more pods and seeds per plant. The number of tillers per plant usually increased with declining seeding rate. Semi-leafless varieties had improved standing ability particularly at higher seeding rates and fall sowing conditions. The harvest index was higher for short strawed, tare-leaved varieties than both leafed and semi-leafless varieties. Harvest index was hardly affected by sowing season and seeding rate.In general, fall sowings and the highest seeding rate produced the highest dry matter, seed and protein yields in all pea cultivars. The yields of spring sowings varied greatly, primarily depending on the amount and distribution of the spring rainfall. In the wet spring of 1993, dry matter, seed and protein yields from spring sowing was higher than those of fall sowings for ali varieties. The semi-leafiess pea varieties. Countess and Niva, presented a clear advantage in the yield determinants under Bursa rain-fed conditions.

“…Over the past few decades, breeders aimed to increase standing ability, which could reduce disease development and harvesting losses and increase yield potential and adaptability for harvest. Walton (1990) found that reduction in leaf area to produce smaller and more highly branched plants would favour yield, and Cousin et al (1985) found in a multiple regression analysis in a range of traits that leaf area, plant height and number of seeds per pod were negatively correlated with yield. Hence, one of the primary objectives was the assessment of radically altered phenotypes, which have reduced biomass due to the absence of true leaflets (semileafless trait) or the characteristic large stipules or both, and shortened internodes, which permitted the development of the currently elite cultivars.…”

Santalla, M., Amurrio, J. M. and De Ron, A. M. 2001. Food and feed potential breeding value of green, dry and vegetable pea germplasm. Can. J. Plant Sci. 81: 601-610. Pea is an important grain legume and vegetable in the South of Europe where it is grown on small farms and gardens using traditional varieties and methods during the winter. Variability in old, unimproved varieties needs to be determined in order to create useful genetic variation for broadening the narrow genetic base of commercial cultivars and for making efficient use of available resources. One hundred and four unimproved pea varieties and ten elite cultivars were evaluated in 1991 and 1992 at two locations for seed and vegetable quality, canopy and agronomic traits. Significant genotype by environment (G × E) interactions were found for protein concentration, fresh seed size and weight, canopy traits, pod length and weight, days to flowering, and days to fresh seed and pod maturity. There were significant differences between unimproved pea varieties for all traits studied except for seed soluble sugars and seed tenderness. Most of the significant differences for seed and vegetable quality traits were observed in the unimproved germplasm from the South of Europe when compared with differences within the elite germplasm. Data from the evaluation of available pea germplasm provide information needed by breeders to develop varieties efficiently for the different needs of growers, processors and feed manufacturers. The relevance of these results in devising breeding strategies is discussed. Can. J. Plant Sci. 81: 601-610. Le pois est abondamment utilisé comme légumineuse à graine dans le monde et comme légume dans le sud de l'Europe, où on en cultive des variétés traditionnelles en hiver, dans les fermettes et les potagers, selon des méthodes classiques. Il est capital de préciser la composition génétique des anciennes variétés non améliorées si l'on veut engendrer des variations qui élargiront la base génétique limitée des cultivars commerciaux et garantir une exploitation efficace des ressources existantes. Cent quatre variétés non améliorées de pois et dix cultivars élite ont fait l'objet d'évaluations à deux endroits en 1991 et 1992. Ont été évalués la qualité grainière et légumière, le feuillage et les paramètres agronomiques. La concentration de protéines, la taille et le poids des graines fraîches, les caractéristiques du feuillage, la longueur et le poids des gousses, le nombre de jours avant la floraison et le nombre de jours avant la maturité de la gousse et la graine verte révèlent une importante interaction du génotype avec l'environnement. Les caractères varient de façon significative chez les variétés non améliorées, à l'exception de la concentration de sucres solubles dans la graine et de la tendreté de cette dernière. La plupart des grandes variations qui affectent les paramètres de la qualité grainière et légumière surviennent dans le matériel génétique des variétés non améliorées du sud de l'Europe, et non chez les variétés élite....

“…It is one of the four most important cultivated legumes alongside soybean, groundnut and beans (Husle, 1994). Because of its high protein level (23-33%) (Cousin et al, 1985) and the increasing demand for protein-rich raw materials for animal feed or intermediary products for human nutrition there is rising interest in this crop as a protein source (Santalla et al, 2001).…”

ABSTRACT. We characterized 13 accessions of dry peas of different origins from various growing regions in Argentina, based on three replications of 20 plants cultivated in 2009 and 2010 in a greenhouse, with the objective of selecting those with favorable characteristics for use in breeding programs. Significant differences were found for length and width of stipule and pod, length of the internodes and leaflets, plant height, total number of nodes, number of nodes at the first pod, number of days to flowering and to harvest, number of pods and seeds per pod, 100-seed weight and grain diameter, demonstrating a high degree of genetic variability. Phenotypic correlation analysis demonstrated that large pods produced more seeds per pod, but the seed weight decreased. Plants with smaller number of nodes in the first pod were more productive. Estimates of genotypic correlation coefficients indicated a strong inherent association among the different traits. Clustering methods grouped the accessions into five clusters. of leaflets (7.43 cm) and days to flowering (122.6), while cluster 3, with one accession, and cluster 4, with two accessions, showed the highest values for number of seeds per pod (3.78 and 4.39), number of pods per plant (5.33 and 5.70), length of pods (5.54 and 5.72 cm), and width of pods (1.21 and 1.20 cm, respectively). We conclude that accessions in clusters 3 and 4 would be useful for crosses with other cultivars in pea breeding programs.
