Kondra of the Department of Plant Science at the University of Alberta as part of the Crop Variety Testing and Demonstration Project funded by Alberta Agriculture. The results are reported according to the crop zones used by the Alberta Cereal and Oilseeds Advisory Committee and are based on replicated yield tests at each location. The varieties fall into two maturity groups, the later group requiring up to seven to 10 days longer to reach maturity. Early varieties = Blues, SS Freezer, Yellows Later varieties = Century, Greenwrinkle, Trapper It should be noted that the yield levels obtained in these tests are generally higher than would normally be obtained under farm conditions. Although protein levels in the grain were not determined in the tests, recent results form Agriculture Canada and university tests in Manitoba and Saskatchewan indicate that the average protein content of peas in Western Canada is about 25 per cent. However, considerable variability can be expected, depending on the site and (continued) 10.
