Project Description

This project will determine whether combining together in a mixture more than one genotype can improve the growth, production and competitive ability of field peas. The unique aspect of this project is that genotypes will be chosen based on genetic relatedness. The project will determine if genotypic mixtures improve the growth, production, and competitive ability of field peas in the presence and absence of weed competition and assess whether genetic relatedness is an important consideration on the choice of genotypic mixtures both in the presence and absence of weed competition.

Project Objectives

To manage weeds in field pea production using cultural practices through the investigation of how genotypic mixtures may be used to improve field pea production.
