Abstract: This research was made during the 2011 and 2012 growing periods in the trial filed of research station for management of soil water and desertification according to randomized blocks design with 3 repulications. Research material was the following pea lines; PS3029-B, PS3048, PS3053, PS3055, PS3057, PS4021, PS4023, PS4028, PS4053-B and other 2 commercial varieties named as Bolero and Ultrello. Some agronomical characteristics such as plant height (cm) number of pod per plant number of seed per pod number of seed per plant 1000 seed weight (g) and seed yield (kg/ha) were determined. Means of the 2 years showed the range for plant height was from 94.67 (PS3048) to 31.83 cm (PS3055), number of pod per plant was from 9.83 (Bolero) to 20.17 (PS3053), number of seed per pod was from 3.25 (Ultrello) to 5.00 (PS3029-B), number of seed per plant was from 35.50 (Ultrello) to 83.83 (PS3053), 1000 seed weight was from 117.83 (PS4053-B) to 303.33 g (Ultrello) and seed yield was from 1406.67 (Bolero) to 2700.00 kg ha-1 (PS4021). Results of the research implicated that the new developed lines were superior compared with the control (commercial) varieties by means of most of the characteristics. Nevertheless similar researches should be continued in different locations and years.
