The present paper presents the results obtained within a multifactorial experience at the Research and Development Station of the University of Craiova, SCDA Caracal, in the period 2021-2022. The biological material was represented by four pea varieties (Omega, Tiara, Favorit and Trinity), each of them being sown in two different seasons. The variability of production, plant height and some elements of productivity were monitored, such as: number of plants/m2, number of pods/plant, length of pods, number of grains in pod and weight of 1000 grains. The results obtained showed a high variability, both in terms of production and productivity elements. Thus, the highest average production value was recorded by the Omega variety (4500 kg/ha) and the lowest one, Trinity (3635 kg/ha). The mass of 1000 grains had average values between 190.8 g (Omega) and 135.9 g (Tiara). Also, the ratio between plant weight and grains weight recorded average values from 1.74 (Tiara) and 1.59 (Favorit). These results confirm the very good suitability of the researched pea varieties for cultivation in the environmental and soil conditions of the South-West area of Oltenia.
