Field pea Pisum sativum L. was grown on two sites for 2 years with the aim of obtaining information on nutritional values and the suitability of the harvest date for conservation by ensiling. The first attempt took place in the locality of Brťov near Velké Opatovice. It was aimed at obtaining information on the nutritional value of silage. The Gambit semi-leafless and Arvika fodder pea variety were used as silage. Better silage quality indicators and lowest losses were achieved with Gambit peas. Arvika had better biogasification. The second experiment took place on the Agritec plots in Šumperk, an experiment with 7 varieties of semi-leafless pea. They were compared with the leaf pea Protecta and the semi-leafless type Turnia. The best results were with creeper peas of the Gambit variety. The nutritional values and yields of the pea variety Protecta were comparable to those of the semi-leafless pea.
