A three-year field experiment (2001-2003) evaluated the influence of different field pea cultivation intensity on the protein content and yields in pea seeds and involved low-, medium- and high-expenditure cultivation technologies. Four pea cultivars were investigated: two edible cultivars: Rola and Agra, and two fodder cultivars: Sokolik and Wiato. Although the highest protein content and yield in seeds was observed in all the pea cultivars cultivated with high-intensity technology, the effect of the technology was significantly lower as a considerably greater variation in the protein content and yield was due to variability in weather conditions over the years.
