A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2017-18, at the Research Farm, Andro (Imphal), Central Agricultural University, Imphal, Manipur, to evaluate the influence of pea varieties and row spacing on plant growth and yield in the Imphal valley. Two varieties and one Manipur native cultivar, Makhyatmubi, were used as main plots, with four row spacings as sub plots (30 cm, 37.5 cm, 50 cm, and 60 cm) carried out in a split plot design with three replications. Pea varieties differed considerably (p<0.05) in terms of plant height, pod length, days to 50% flowering, 100-seed weight, and grain yield. Makhyatmubi, a Manipur native cultivar, produced the maximum grain yield. Pea grain yield was considerably higher with closer spacing (30 cm).
