The development of field pea as a major specialty crop in western Canada has led to questions regarding the nutritive value of its straw component. The objective of this study was to examine the nutrient composition of field pea straw collected from south central Alberta variety trials. Our analysis focused on four varieties grown on four locations for the period between 1995 and 1997. Five nutrients were examined: CP, Ca, P, ADF and NDF. There were significant year × location interaction effects for concentrations of all five nutrients. Location-to-location differences were considerably inconsistent across the years. The environmental variation in nutrients of pea straw requires that the optimal strategy of managing the pea straw (particularly using it as part of cattle feed) be based on an extensive sampling of the straw over diverse environments rather than on the average value. Key words: Nutritive composition, field pea straw, environmental variation, Pisum sativum L.

DS Admiral, a yellow cotyledon field pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivar, was released in 2000 by Agriprogress Inc., Morden, Manitoba. DS Admiral has a semileafless leaf type, powdery mildew resistance, medium sized, round seeds, and good yielding ability. DS Admiral is adapted to the field-pea-growing region of western Canada.

Bellevue field pea (Pisum sativum L.) was licensed in 1986. It is about 15% higher yielding than the check cultivars Century and Trapper. Bellevue has smooth seeds with yellow cotyledons. It has the le gene for shortened internodes and is about 6 d later maturing than Century and Trapper. Seed weight is about 179 g/1000 seeds, intermediate between Century and Trapper.Key words: Cultivar description, pea (field), Pisum sativum L.

Field pea seeds from 10 cultivars grown at two locations in Manitoba in 1986 and 1987 were analyzed for proximate and mineral profiles. Cultivars differed significantly in their level of total protein, crude fat, ADF, and all minerals tested. However, differences were not extremely large and were comparable to European reports. Location-year also had a significant effect on the levels of total protein, ADF, and all minerals tested. In most cases, the warmest location-year produced relatively higher levels of minerals, ash, and total protein, and lower seed yield than the coolest location-year. Key words: Field pea, Pisum sativum L., mineral

Background: Field pea, Pisum sativum L. is an important winter-season pulse crop. It is subjected to damage by both field and storage insect pests and approximately 10-15 per cent reduction in yield was reported due to the infestation of different insect pests. Among these, pulse aphid (Aphis craccivora Koch.) affects plant physiology directly by removal of nutrients or indirectly by dispersal of various viral diseases. The present investigation has been aimed to study the seasonal fluctuations of aphids and their natural enemies as well as their correlation. Another objective was to know the effect of various weather parameters on pulse aphids and their natural enemies which ultimately would be helpful to develop a forewarning model.Methods: The field experiment was conducted at the A-B Block Farm of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Nadia, West Bengal using two varieties of field pea (KPMR 935 and IFPD 122) during rabi seasons of two consecutive years of 2017-18 and 2018-19 following a Randomized Block Design with three replications. After recording the total population of both pests (nymphs and adults) and their natural enemies across the season, the mean population was worked out and used for correlation and regression studies along with the weather parameters. Result: Maximum aphid population was noticed during the peak pod formation stage of the crop irrespective of the varieties. The pest population was very strongly correlated with the incidence of coccinellid and ant population in both test varieties. Among the weather parameters, both maximum and minimum temperature and sunshine hour showed a positive correlation with the pest population and their natural enemies but relative humidity and rainfall showed a negative correlation. Regression studies indicated that temperature and relative humidity were the most influencing factors over the incidence of aphid in both the seasons.
