The study presents experimental results obtained in 2023 regarding the effect of pedoameliorative and basic soil works - classical and conservative system (direct sowing) – on the pea crop. The research was carried out in the experimental field in the SCDA Pitești - Albota area on the typical soil-luvosol type. In addition to the factors (scarified, nonscarified, and working depth of basic soil works) that were studied, the research period's climate also had an impact on the yields. In 2023, the scarified soil version produced an average yield of 2715 kg/ha, while the nonscarified soil version produced an average yield of 2476 kg/ha. This represents a 239 kg/ha difference in favor of the scarified soil variants. The conventional deep ploughed scarified system is the most effective tillage method for pea crops in the SCDA Pitesti Albota area. It guaranteed a superior yield when compared to the conservative direct sowing method.
