The pea, Pisum sativum L. Family Papilionaceae, is a leguminous, herbaceous plant native to Asia Minor and Central Asia. It was cultivated by the Greeks and Romans in antiquity and quickly spread throughout the world; it was brought to Romania in the 17th century. Pea has long been an important component of the human diet, providing an excellent source of protein, is characterized by high yielding ability, but at the same time significant variability of yield level. It also has a high protein content in seeds and the ability to bind atmospheric nitrogen, which is of both ecological and economic importance. Peas play also an important role in crop rotation and in the plant production systems being a good previous crop for cereals and chemicals are not used or only used to a limited extent and has recently received special attention for the improvement of new varieties. To establish the production potential and the ability to adapt to the climatic conditions of the area, in the period 2019, 2020, 2021, at Agricultural and Development Research Station Teleorman, was tested the behavior of 7 local and foreign pea varieties, by establishing a bifactorial experiment, in 3 repetitions, laid out according to the randomized block method, with plots having an area of 10 m2, because the capability of the variety to adapt to growing conditions plays an important role in increasing the quantity and quality of crops production.
