Key Points
- Average pea yields were 1.9 t/ha in the dryland trial with no significant differences between the cultivars.
- Under irrigation yields rose to an average 3.6 t/ha with Crown, Miami and Courier having the highest yields of 4.2, 4.0 and 3.8 t/ha respectively.
- Plant populations were very low, which may have reduced the yield potential of some cultivars.
- Seed size was larger from the irrigated trial, but other factors such as more peas and/or pods also contributed to the higher yields.
