AB Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is an annual legume crop that is currently underutilized buthas the potential for reintroduction into Mediterranean rain-fed farming systems. In this study,we compared the adaptation of breeding lines in multi-environment field testing, which had widevariation for precocity, grain yield and broomrape infection. Heritability-adjusted genotype plusgenotype-by-environment interaction (HA-GGE) biplot and non-metric multidimensional scaling(NMDS) were performed to determine the effect on genotype (G), environment (E) and G × Einteraction on grain yield, precocity and broomrape infection. Precocity was associated with reducedbroomrape infection, and this with increased grain yield. Step-wise regression analysis revealed thatthe broomrape infection had the highest influence on grain yield, whereas precocity had a lower effect.Rain and humidity and mild temperatures before and during flowering were the climatic factors mostinfluential on broomrape. Accessions with a shorter growth cycle suffered lower broomrape infectionand were more productive in the environments with a high broomrape incidence. Accessions withlonger growth cycle suffered overall higher broomrape infection and were therefore more productivein the environments with low or moderate broomrape incidence.
