Abstract
Dissemination of this crop among farmers and the definition of its nutritive and economic importance. Increase production and quality of sugar pea using some stimulant substances for growth, which are safe and not harmful to the environment or human health. Evaluate the behavior of some sugar pea varieties and responses to different plant densities under sandy soil conditions to determine the most appropriate distances. Methods & Results : The present study was conducted at Private Farm in EL-Salheya, Sharkia Governorate, Egypt during winter seasons of 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 to study the effect of plant density and some natural foliar applications, i.e., moringa leaf extract (MLE), chitosan at 150 ppm and silicon at 200 ppm on vegetative growth, pod yield, quality and storability of snow pea cultivars, i.e., “Compados and Snow Wind” and sugar snap pea cultivar “Sugar Snap” grown under drip irrigation system of sandy soil. Conclusion : It could be concluded that sowing sugar pea cultivars, i.e., Compados, Snow Wind and Sugar Snap under sandy soil and similar conditions for local consumption and exportable at 20 cm apart and spraying with moringa leaf extract or chitosan at 150 ppm or silicon at 200 ppm three times, i.e., 15 days after sowing then repeated each 15 days interval, to achieve the highest productivity, though 40 and 60 cm apart produced high quality and storability
