Abstract
Seed hull content in field pea was used as a measure of estimating fib er content. Screening of field pea cultivars and germplasm showed a ra nge of 7.2-12% in seed hull content. There was a significant effect of growing sites and years on hull %. No significant correlation was det ected between hull % and yield, maturity or seed size but cultivars co ntaining high hull % produced puree with poor viscosity.
