Determination of the Seed Yield and Quality Characteristics of Some Advanced-Generation Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Lines

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the seed yield, yield components, and seed quality values of some field pea genotypes grown under Bursa conditions. The trials were carried out at Bursa Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Agricultural Research and Application Center in the years 2013-2014 and 2015-2016. The present study was conducted with three replications according to the randomized complete block design. The 7 pea lines (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, PS6, PS7) and Golyazi cultivar were used as the plant material. These lines were obtained as a result of the hybridization studies that were started in 2007. The Golyazi cultivar, which was developed by Bursa Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, was used as the control cultivar. In this study, plant height, the number of pods per plant, the number of seeds per pod, the number of seeds per plant, 1000-seed weight, seed yield, crude protein ratio, and crude protein yield were determined. PS1 line gave the highest values in terms of 1000-seed weight (288.7 kg da-1) seed yield (333.63 kg da-1), and crude protein yield (61.91 kg da-1) based on two-year results. It was also determined that the PS1 line is a good cultivar candidate especially, in terms of seed yield.
