The objective of this study was to analyze at NARDI Fundulea (44ᵒ26̕ N latitude, 68 m altitude) the influence of time of planting on yield and other traits at winter peas, as support of the appropriate technological decision. A split plot layout with in randomized block design, with three replications has been applied in this study. Four dates of planting were considered as main plots, respectively: October 11, 2019/October 21, 2020 (autumn) and February 19, 2020/March 03, 2021 (spring), while three replication subplots include twelve winter peas varieties and breeding lines (Lavinia F, Ghittia F, 13008MT28-1, 13020MT, 12018MT1, 12023MT1-1, 13002MT, 12038MT2, 13008MT42-2, 12025MT4, 13020MT1-2, 12004MT2). According to the analyzed variables such plant height, seed yield, TGW and protein content, results suggest that planting in autumn leads to a higher performance of the both TGW and Yield capacity (4838 kg/ha), as compared to the spring one, in this case being registered an yield of 1796 kg/ha.
