Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of different genotypes of garden pea during Rabi, 2019-20 at Regional Horticultural Research and Training Station, Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Himachal Pradesh. The experiment was layout in the Augmented Block Design (ABD). Examination of the characteristics revealed substantial variability in the genotypes, indicating that sufficient variance was present throughout the germplasm under study. The maximum plant height was recorded in EC-838238 whereas, the minimum plant height was recorded in EC-838152. The minimum number of node at which the first flower appear was recorded in three genotypes viz. EC-838152, EC- 838161, EC-838233, whereas EC-838232 recorded the highest node at which the first flower appear. The lowest days to 50% flowering were reported in EC-838216 while the highest were documented in EC-838206. The EC-838220 showed the lowest number of seeds per pod and the EC-838211 expressed the highes

Conclusion

From the present experimental findings it is concluded that the genotypes EC-838201, EC-838141, EC-838208 and EC-838166 were found to be superior for marketable pod yield and other significant characteristics based on overall performance. So these genotypes can be further use for evaluation or growing under the conditions of sub-tropical climate of Himachal Pradesh.
