Dry Pea (Pisum sativum L.) protein, starch and ash concentrations as affected by cultivars and environments

Dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important crop in the Northern Great Plains (NGP) of the US and Canada. Information on dry pea quality as affected by cultivars and environments is limited. This experiment determined the effects of dry pea cultivars and environments on protein, starch and ash concentrations. Six dry pea cultivars (cv. Arcadia, Bridger, CDC Striker, Cruiser, Montech 4152 and SW Midas) were evaluated in randomized complete block design with four replications in 22 environments. The results showed that cultivar by environment interaction effects were highly significant on protein, starch and ash concentration (PThe accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
