Abstract:
This research was carried out in different locations of the scientific agricultural research centers in Hama, Aleppo and Izraa affiliated to the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research, to study the performance of 12 genotypes of grass pea and the local variety Aleppo 2 as a check, and they are (Bang-206, Bang-146, Bang-270, Bang-153, Bang-210, Bang-284, Bang-240, Bang-286, Bang-195, Bang-229, Bang-285, Bang-264), during the season (2017-2018), in order to evaluate the variance between genotypes and environments and interaction between them, and to determine the most productive genotypes of seeds and straw in each environmental site, and to determine the most appropriate site for their cultivation, Randomized complete blocks (RCBD) was used with two replications. The results of the statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences between the genotypes and locations and the interaction between them, and the results indicated the superiority of the two genotypes Bang-285 and Bang-286 in the characteristics of plant height, seed yield and hay yield over the check Aleppo2. Whereas, the Bang-285 genotype achieved a significant increase of 24.54% compared to the check Aleppo 2. Izraa research station was the most suitable for the cultivation of these genotypes, as it was the best in terms of early flowering, maturity, seed yield and hay yield.
Key words: genotypes, grass pea, seed yield, hay yield.
