Variety Testing Procedures
Staff of the Agricultural Research and Extension Council of Alberta (ARECA) and the Pulse Program of Alberta Agriculture’s Crop Diversification Centre North did the compilation and co-ordination of the pea, lentil, chickpea and fababean tests. Staff of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge, conducted the dry bean trials.
Funding was provided by seed companies (field pea entries only), the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission, the Alberta Crop Industry Development Fund, the Alberta Barley Commission, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, the Alberta Branch of Canadian Seed Growers Association and the Association of Alberta Co-op Seed Cleaning Plants Ltd.

Plant Breeder’s Rights
The use of the logo indicates the variety is protected by law, and the seed of this cultivar cannot be sold for seed purposes without permission and royalty payment.
2007 Data
In 2007, there were 15 sites grown of the green and yellow pea. Two sites from British Columbia were used as part of Region 4. Fourteen of the yellow and twelve of the green pea trials were used in the final report of the regional variety trials. Only sites with coefficient of variances (cv’s) less than 15% were used for field peas and less than 20% for other pulses were included in the final report of pulse crop summaries.
Fully Tested Varieties
Fully tested varieties were not tested in 2007. Direct comparisons between field pea fully tested and the 2000 - 2005 data cannot be made.
First-year Entries
Please use caution interpreting relative yield % when overall station years are below 25 sites for green and yellow pea.
