Abstract:
The thirty genotypes/varieties of pea were studied out during Rabi 2018-19 at Instructional-cum-Research Farm of Horticulture Section, Rajarshee Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj College of Agriculture, Kolhapur. The experiment was laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design with two replications for plant height at maturity, days to 50 percent flowering, average no. of branches per plant, weight of dry matter, number of pods per plant, length of pod, width of pod, number of seeds per pod, seed yield per plant, shelling percentage, TSS, moisture content, tenderness, total mineral content and pod yield per plant. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among all the genotypes under study. The phenotypic coefficient of variation was higher than genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters indicating the effect of environment on these characters.
