The green pen or petitpois (Pisum sativum L.) is the specie broadly distributed in the world. In Cuba, exist high tradition and acceptation in partly of people toward this grain, however, the majority of these consumption depend the imports. The studies to guide an improvement and obtaining of new cultivars, adapted a soil and climatic conditions of limited. Starting from establishment of improvement program the obtained the new cultivar 'K-06'. The objective of present work was to describe the principles botanies and agronomics characteristics of cultivar 'K-06' for loving consumption, to permit sir up these employ in partly of small productive. During the investigations its verify of plants the 'K-06' to have 20 cm of altitude of the first sheath, produce between 30-50 sheath/plants, to which contain between three and seven grains. Phenologycally, thiscultivar being the germination the five days and eight days to stain 100 percent. To flower to start between 34 and 36 days, but around 42-44 appear major quantity of flowers.The crop from loving consumption debit effect between of 60-80 days after sowing, although from seed debit to crop the 90 days. To possess droughtresistancehalf and a some fungus diseases. Reach upper yield the 4000 kg/ha from loving consumption and until 1600 kg/ha of dry seed. The same was introduced in productive practice through Urban, Sub-Urban and Familiar Program, with the obtaining satisfactory results.
