Performance of Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Genotypes under Valley Condi tion of Garhwal Himalayan Region

The study was conducted at Horticultural Research Centre, H.N.B. Garhwal University, Srinagar-Garhwal, Uttarakhand, during rabi season 2013-14 to evaluate the performance of 12 genotypes of pea for quantitative and qualitative traits under valley condition of Garhwal Himalayan region. Among 13 quantitative and qualitative characters studied, maximum plant height was observed in Rachana (168.2 cm) followed by DMR-70 (156.53 cm). Earliest appearance of first flower was observed in DDR-25 (54.66 days) followed by P-1544 (56.33). The earliest green pod harvest (112.66 days) was observed in DMR-70. Maximum length of pod was recorded in P-1544 (10.19cm), maximum number of pods per plant (56.86) was recorded in Rachana, maximum pod yield (147.43 g/plant) was noted in PSM-32, 100 seed weight was maximum (20.22g) in DDR-62, maximum shelling percentage was recorded in DDR-62 (52.04%), and maximum protein content (9.76%) was recorded in Pusa Pragati
