The tolerance of several field pea cultivars to glyphosate was compared in the laboratory and greenhouse, using root, foliar, and tissue culture exposure techniques. Pea cultivar response among glyphosate exposure techniques did not always agree. However, the cultivar ‘Alaska’ was consistently one of the most susceptible cultivars regardless of exposure technique. ‘Melrose’ was one of the most tolerant cultivars, especially when its roots and cells were exposed to glyphosate. The response of ‘Frogel’, ‘Glacier’, and other cultivars varied among glyphosate-exposure techniques.
