dc.description.abstractField pea is an important cool-season legume crop that is grown on over 6 million hectares worldwide. P. arvense is a variety used commonly as forage pea due to its digestibility and highly nutritious content suitable for feeding livestock. Despite various types of electric field treatments are investigated for the improvement of widely consumed crops, studies are still very limited. In this study, field pea seeds were treated with HVEF of 50, 100 and 200 kV/m intensities for 3 different durations (1, 5 and 10 minutes). Germination and seedling growth parameters examined were germination percentage, root and shoot lengths and dry weights. Germination percentage was 96.25% for control, and oscillated +/- 1.5% in treatments with no significance. 50 and 100 kV/m treatments enhanced root lengths up to 10.5% in 5 min-100 kV/m treatments. Although non-significant, shoot lengths also increased especially in 100 kV/m treatments up to 16.2%. The most significant effect was determined in root dry weights which improved in all treatments of 50 and 100 kV/m except 10 min-50 kV/m treatment. 200 kV/m treatments slightly reduced the growth of seedlings. This study shows that HVEF treatments are effective in enhancing seedling growth of field pea seeds and have the potential to be used in seed technologies.
