Effects of Plant Densities on Seed Yield and Some Agricultural Characteristics of Jofs Pea Variety

This research was conducted to determine effects of
plant densities on seed yield and some agricultural characteristics of
pea variety- Jofs in Konya ecological conditions during 2012
vegetation period. The trial was set up according to “Randomized
Blocks Design” with three replications. The material “Jofs” pea
variety was subjected to 3-row spaces (30, 40 and 50 cm) and 3-row
distances (5, 10 and 15 cm). According to the results, difference was
shown statistically for the effects of row spaces and row distances on
seed yield. The highest seed yield was 2582.1 kg ha-1 on 30 cm of
row spaces while 2562.2 kg ha-1 on 15 cm of distances.
Consequently, the optimum planting density was determined as 30 x
15 cm for Jofs pea variety growing in Konya.
