Author(s): Priyanka Bijalwan, Akhilsh Raturi and AC Mishra
Abstract: Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance as percent over mean for fourteen characters were assessed by field evaluation of twenty-three pea accessions at Vegetable Research Block of Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Ranichauri Campus, District Tehri-Garhwal, Uttarakhand during Rabi 2012-13 and Kharif, 2013. High degree of genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation, heritability and genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for fresh weight of root nodules per plant (76.31% & 79.17%, 92.91% and 151.54%), number of pods per plant (28.03% & 33.75%, 69.0% and 47.97%), pod yield per plant (26.52% & 27.96%, 89.86% and 51.18%) and number of flowers per cluster (23.39% & 26.15%, 80.0% and 43.27%). Therefore, selection should be imposed considering these traits improvement of population in garden pea.
