본 시험은 우리나라 논에서 적응성이 우수한 forage pea 품종을 선발코자 2004년부터 2006까지 전라남도농업기술원 답리작 포장에서 공시초종은 자운영 1품종(중국 자생품종)과 forage pea 2품종(cv, ‘Austrian Pea’, ‘Livioletta’)이였고 파종량은 120kg/ha으로 수행하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 개화기는 Livioletta 품종이 5월 16일로 빠르고 Austrian Pea 품종이 5월 18일로 2일정도 늦었고 월동율은 Austrian Pea 품종이 Livioletta 품종보다 떨어졌다. Austrian pea 품종의 건물률은 20.9% 보다 높았고 ha당 생초수량은 Austrian Pea 품종이 26,870kg으로 많았고 Livioletta 품종이 약 16,235kg/ha로 적었다. 그리고 건물수량에 있어서는 Austrian Pea 품종이 5,986kg/ha으로 Livioletta 품종의 3,652kg/ha보다 훨씬 많은 수량을 얻었고 조단백질수량에 있어서도 Austrian Pea 품종이 861kg/ha로 많이 생산되었다. Austrian Pea 품종의 조단백질 함량은 14.4%으로 Livioletta 품종의 15.5%보다 약간 낮았고 건물소화율은 Austrian Pea 품종의 74.3%이 Livioletta 품종의 61.3%This experiment was conducted to compare the agronomic characteristics and productivity in introduced forage pea cultivars at the experimental field. The experiment was arranged in a randomized block design with three replications. The forage pea used in this study were two cultivars(‘Livioletta’, ‘Austrian Pea’) and one Chinese milk vetch cultivar(Chinese domestic cultivar). Flowing of ‘Livioletta’ cultivar was May 16th and ‘Austrian Pea’ cultivar was 18th May, 20 days later than the former. The ‘Livioletta’ cultivar showed stronger than winter hardiness of ‘Austrian Pea’ cultivar. Dry matter(DM) content of ‘Livioletta’ and ‘Austrian Pea’ cultivars were 22.5% and 20.9% chinese milk vetch showed the lowest content with 17.7%. ‘Austrian pea’ cultivar showed the highest DM yield with 5,617kg/ha but the DM yield of ‘Livioletta’ cultivar was low with 3,652kg/ha. The yield of CP(crude protein) and TDN(total digestible nutrient) set high at ‘Austrian Pea’ cultivar. And ‘Livioletta’ and ‘Austrian Pea’ cultivars showed CP content with 15.5% and 14.4% but Chinese milk vetch with 19.3%. The acid detergent fiber(ADF) and neutral detergent fiber(NDF) content of ‘Austrian Pea’ cultivar were 23.2% and 40.3%. Therefore ‘Austrian pea’ cultivar seems to be suitable varieties in paddy field as winter forage crops.
