Abstract

The first local cultivar of winter pea for grain, ‘NS MRAZ’, was developed by pedigree selection from the hybrid population created by crossing local populations and one French line of pea. The cultivar has a high seed yield potential, exceptional earliness and tolerance to low temperatures. Its average plant height is 75–85 cm; it is of the afila type of pea, tolerant to lodging and of uniform maturity. Its genetic potential for seed yield is more than 7,000 kg ha-1, and it achieved an average seed yield of 5,110 kg ha-1 in three-year trials, while seed yield in production conditions was  above 5,500 kg ha-1.  Thousand-grain weight is about 200 g, which was the goal achieved in reducing  the amount of seed per unit area. Protein yield ranged from 1,100 to 1,200 kg ha-1.
