A six-year (1996-2002) research program to evaluate 35 dry peas (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes for yield, resistance/tolerance to powdery mildew, quality and suitability for canning, has resulted in the selection of the high yielding and high quality genotype, DMR-26. It scored a four season mean yield advantage of 30% over the local check at Shambat Research Farm and a mean yield advantage of 42.6% in the multi-location trials at five different environments. Moreover, DMR-26 had the highest average yield from 7 environments, average slope (b=l) and accordingly it had average stability of performance. This genotype was also highly resistant to powdery mildew in two seasons. As for processing quality, the genotype DMR-26 has large seeds, high hydration coefficient, and increased weight after processing, high seed protein content and low percentage of non-soakers compared to the local check. DMR-26 seeds (dry or canned) gained high acceptability by most of those people who had tasted it
