Abstract

Comparative trials were carried out on five pea cultivars during the winter of two successive seasons, i.e., 1995 and 1996 under Sohag and Kena (Southern Egypt) conditions. Highly significant differences were existed among cultivars for all studied traits. Mammoth Melting Sugar and Toledo Sugar cvs, produced the highest pod length and pod width, and had some better in fresh yield of pods. Sohag location was superior to Kena location in pod length and seed/pod. Moreover, pod width, pods/plant and fresh yield of pods were costantly in the two loca­tions.
