Tamimi, S.M. (Jordan Univ., Amman (Jordan))
Growth, seed yield and water use efficiency (WUE) in leafless, semi-leaved and normal leaved cultivars of pea were compared in green house conditions of high, medium and low irrigation. The level of irrigation had a marked effect on the growth of normal leaved plants. The degree of this effect was less marked on plants of the semi-leaved cultivar; whereas the growth of leafless plants was not affected by the level of irrigation. Seed yields and WUE at high and medium irrigation were the highest in normal-leaved plants; but under the conditions of low irrigation, semi-leaved plants showed the highest seed yields and the highest WUE
