VARIABILITY OF THE MAIN QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS IN THE GARDEN PEA VARIETY IȘALNIȚA 60 IN SANDY SOIL CONDITIONS FROM RDSPCS DĂBULENI

Abstract

The studies were carried out in the experimental field of the Research Development Station for Plant Culture on Sands Dăbuleni in the period 2023 on the garden pea variety Isalnița 60, with the objective of maintaining varietal purity within the specific limits of the variety. Following the statistical analysis of each analyzed character, the 100 elites chosen showed medium variability and very high variability for the analyzed characters. The number of pods per plant is another quantitative character that determines the productivity of the variety, a character influenced by the environmental conditions and the applied technology. The calculation and analysis of the variability of this genotype revealed very high variability for this character (34.80%).
