Weeds directly compete with the crop for water, nutrients, light and other growth factors. Competition for water begins when root systems overlap as they absorb water and nutrients (3). Competition for water depends on the rate and completeness with which a plant utilizes the soil water supply (4). Competition for water usually occurs with other forms of competition. For example, competition between weeds and peas (Pisum spp.) centered on light and water depending on weed height (5).

Starch content of field peas (Pisum sativum L., cv. Trapper) ranges from 43.7 to 48% and, after being subjected to pin milling and air classification, produces a flour containing 78% starch (9,12,13). 

The field pea (Pisum sativum) and small fababean (Vicia faba minor) were pin milled and air classified into protein and starch fractions or, alternately, the protein, starch and fiber were extracted by an aqueous alkali procedure. 

The smooth field pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Trapper) and small fababean (Vicia faba minor cv. Diana) samples were composites of several lots grown in 1981. After blending, about 20 kg were dehulled on a resinoid disc, abrasive dehuller (19), followed by air aspiration to remove 10 and 15% of hulls, resp. The dehulled seeds were coarse-ground in a hammermill and subdivided for dry and wet processing.
