Morphological characteristics of some 60 spring fodder pea lines were studied in this paper. Among the studied lines there was the greatest statistical difference in the number of pods, and the variation among the number of internodes was the least. The line Cult Frilene had the lowest plant height (32.6 cm), and the lowest number of internodes (9). Observation of all studied genotypes revealed that plant height varied from 32.6 to 100.3 cm, dry leaf mass from 5.98 to 25.69 g, number of internodes from 9 to 18, height of the first pod from 15.3 to 63.3 cm, number of pods per plant from 4 to 15, and number of seeds per pod from 1 to 6. Being acquainted with these parameters helps in making the work of pea breeders more effective, and contributes to rapid pea expansion in production.
