Effect of Foliar Fertilisation With Amino Acids on Seed Yield and the Percentage of Protein in Dry Seeds in Some Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Genotypess

Abstract

 This Research was carried out at Kafer Yahmool scientific Agricultural Research Center 2020-2021 during the agronomic season of 2020-2021, aiming to study the effect of foliage application on amino acids in seeds yield and protein percentage in dry seeds for three genotypes of peas (Pisum sativum L.). which are Dutch, Turkish, and Local, that was by using a random complete block design (RCBD) with three Replications. The Results showed the superiority of the treated Dutch genotype in seed protein content on the treated and untreated local and Turkish genotypes, while there were no significant differences with the rest of the genotypes and treatments. The results also showed the superiority of the Dutch genotype over the Turkish and local genotypes in most studied features, (seeds yield and number of pods per plant) with significant differences. The Turkish genotype also outperformed the local one in the characteristics of (seed yield and number of pods per plant), while the local and Turkish genotypes outperformed the Dutch one in the characteristics of 100-seed weight.
