Abstract
The response of viner peas to various moisture regimes during different phases of growth was investigated. On a Lismore stony silt loam irrigation at the 15% soil moisture level during the vegetative phase was preferable to irrigation at either the 20 or 10% levels. During pod swelling irrigation at the 20% soil moisture level was best. The irrigated treatments matured later and had substantially more pods on each plant. The number of peas per pod and individual pea wcights were also increased by irrigation.
