Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is one of the most suitable legume plants adapted to global climate change. This study was conducted to investigate the seed yield and yield components of 26 grass pea genotypes in between 2017 and 2019 at Antalya in an East Mediterranean environment. Large variations were observed among various grass pea genotypes in terms of the characteristics examined, especially for seed yield and biologic yield. Whereas the GP3 genotype displayed the highest seed yield (1430.7 kg ha(-1)) and biologic yield (4222.3 kg ha(-1)), GP20 displayed the lowest seed yield (601.2 kg ha(-1)), and GP 11 displayed the lowest biologic yield (2426.8 kg ha(-1)). The yield (seed and biological) values of most genotypes in this special grass pea collection, which was selected in terms of low ODAP content from ICARDA lines, was higher than the local variety Gurbuz-2001 used as control.
