Influence of the Chemical and Physical Properties of Soils on the Germination of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

The aim of this paper was to determine the influence of texture and pH value of the soil on germination and properties of germination for three sorts of garden pea (Mali Provansalac, Kelvedon, Čudo Amerike) on five different soil samples. Gathered data has been statistically analyzed with appropriate methods and results used for interpretation. In average, Mali Provansalac showed the highest value of germination energy, germination, length of the hypocotil and length of the roots. Cultivar Čudo Amerike showed in average the lowest germination energy and germination but the highest average sprouts mass. All cultivars showed the best germination energy on the soil with the lowest pH (6, 033 and 4, 27). Length of the hypocotil and roots showed independent of the pH of the soil although the highest values have been on the soils with lower pH values. Also all cultivars showed the best results of measured parameters in the heavy soils
