Three female (USA5, Vesela and Oranlij) and three male (Ater, Taskent and Ozkaynak) field pea genotypes were used as parents and crossed in 2013 and 2014 according to the Line x Tester analysis method. The obtained F1 hybrids and the parents were planted on 8 November 2016. The aim of this study was to determine the combining ability and cross performances of pea (Pisum sativum L.) lines obtained by hybridization using Line x Tester method. The study was carried out in 2016-2017 at Bursa Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, Bursa (40 degrees 11' North, 29 degrees 04' East). In the research, biological yield (g/plant), seed yield (g/plant), straw yield (g / plant), harvest index (%) and 1000-seed weight (g) were determined. For these characters, mean values, general and specific combining abilities and heterosis and heterobeltiosis values were determined for the parents and F1 generations. As a result, USA5 x Taskent, Vesela x Ates, Vesela x Taskent and Urtiniti x Ozkaynak genotypes were identified as significant genotypes in terms of both seed and straw yields.
