The study was conducted to determine the sensitivity of forage pea to drought stress intensities and the contribution of smoke solutions in preventing this sensitivity. For the smoke solution, dried poppy harvest residues were prepared with a special mechanism. Within this scope, two different concentrations (1 and 10%) of poppy smoke solution were utilized in priming of two distinct forage pea varieties (Gap pembesi and Özkaynak). After priming, the seeds were sowing in pots and it was exposed to moderate and severe drought conditions after 21 days. Effects of smoke solutions and drought stress in varieties were assessed by physically (shoot length) and chemical parameters (crude protein, ADF. NDF, Ca, Mg, P and K). Both forage pea varieties have been observed that crude protein and mineral substance (except Ca) contents decrease significantly under drought stress, especially in severe drought. This loss was increased again by eliminating both doses (especially 10%) of smoke solutions. In fact, under normal growing conditions (control), 10% smoke solution application had the highest crude protein in both varieties. However, the effect of drought and the defense mechanism of smoke solution created differences in forage pea varieties based on parameters. In general, the Özkaynak was more resistant to drought and the response to smoke solution was stronger. In conclusion, by incorporating the poppy-smoke solution into the drought stress mitigation strategy, this approach not only curbed environmental losses but also mitigated the impacts of drought stress.
