Abstract :In this research, six pea cultivars (Karina, Kosmos, Sprinter, Jofs, Manuel and Bolero) were sown 3 times in 1998 (April 15, April 23, May 3) and 3 times in 1999 (April 15, April 22, May 6) under the ecological conditions of Konya. The trial was conducted under Split Plot in Randomized Blocks Design with three replications, according to the results of Konya Rural Affairs Research Station. The highest seed yield (186.9 kg/da) was obtained from Manuel cultivar and the highest protein yield (37.3 kg/da) was obtained from Jofs cultivar. The highest seed yield (168.9 kg/da) was obtained from April 23 sowing date. Correlation between seed yield and plant height (r = 0.988**), flowering time (r = 0.702**), and vegetation period (r = 0.301**) were positive and significant. Vegetation period of the pea cultivars was 89-101 days.
