Abstract: The field experiments were carried out during the two successive winter seasons of 2013/2014 and2014/2015 in a Private Farm at Abo-Hammad District, Sharkia Governorate, to study the effect ofplant densities on plant growth, chemical constituents of some pea cultivars. The maximum values ofdry weight of roots, shoots and total dry weight / plant, chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll as wellas carotenoides in leaf tissues, number of pods/ plant, average pod weight, yield / plant and total yield/fad., were recorded in case of cv. Lincoln while, cv. Alaska recorded the highest values of N, P, Kand total carbohydrate in shoot. Planting pea plants on one side of the ridge gave the highest values ofdry weight of roots, shoots and total dry weight/ plant, chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll andcarotenoides in leaf tissues, N, P, K and total carbohydrate in shoots, number of pods/ plant, averagepod weight and yield /plant. Whereas, planting on three or four sides of the ridge increased total yield/faddan. Planting cv Lincoln on one side of the ridge gave the highest values of dry weight of roots,shoots and total dry weight/ plant, chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll and carotenoides in leaf tissues,number of pods/ plant, average pod weight and yield/ plant. Whereas, planting Alaska cv. on one sideof the ridge increased N, P, K and total carbohydrate in shoots. Planting Lincoln cv. on three or foursides of the ridge and planting Master B cv. on four sides of the ridge increased significantly the totalyield/ faddan.
