In three field pea varieties (Kirazlı,Töre and Taşkent) grown in two row spacings (20 and 40 cm) yield and some yield characteristics (Plant height, fresh matter yield, rate and yield of dry matter, rate and yield of crude ash) were investigated. Over two year's results, the plant heights 155.89 and 144.56 cm, fresh matter yields 4360 and 3398 kg/da, dry matter rates 18.12 and 17.81%, dry matter yields 782.4 and 595.1 kg/da, crude ash rates 8.30 and 7.93% and crude ash yields 63.8 and 44.7 kg/da were found for 20 and 40 cm, respectively. It was found that Töre and Taşkent could be promising varieties for Ege region. Keywords : Field pea, yield, variety, row spacing
