It was found that GA<sub>3</sub> (0.03 mg per one plant) caused significant delay of the flowering of two different genotypes of peas under conditions of an increasing natural day length (March - May). It was expressed both in a greater number of vegetative nodes and in a greater number of days to the first flower. Under conditions of a decreasing day length (August - November) most of G type plants treated with GA<sub>3</sub> reacted with complete inhibition of the flowering. In K type pea, GA<sub>3</sub> treatment in the discussed conditions affected only the number of days from the sowing time to the appearence of the first flower. This stage was greater in treated plants in comparison with the control ones.

Seven varieties of pea (Pisum sativum L.) sown monthly through the year in the temperate climate at Melbourne (38° S.), varied in their pattern of reproductive development according to their maturity type. The pattern was simple in the five early to mid-season varieties (Alaska, Collegian, Canner's Perfection, Dun, Partridge) in which rate was controlled directly by temperature, whereby the growing period after spring sowing was half that after winter sowing. The pattern was complex in the late varieties (Mackay, Austrian Winter) in which the slowest development followed sowing in late summer and early autumn. At each sowing, the range in time of flowering of early to late varieties resulted from a decreasing tendency to reach flower initiation from fast (Alaska) to very slow (Dun, Partridge, Mackay and Austrian Winter), together with an increasing positive sensitivity to photoperiod and a negative sensitivity to temperature. Both responses ranged from absent in Alaska to weak in Canners, Collegian and Dun, slightly more in Partridge and to strong in the two latest varieties. In Partridge, the sensitivity to photoperiod continued after flower initiation, causing abscission of flower buds in winter-sown plants. Three relationships can be used to forecast the ability of a variety to fit its seed maturity to a given growing season: the correlation between (1) early and later stages of development; (2) leaf stage at flower initiation and at first flower; (3) rate of development and temperature. Thus a sound basis for planning yield improvement is provided. _______________ *Part III, Aust. J. Agric. Res., 17: 1 (1966).
