ABSTRACT
This study aimed to assess the genetic variability in vegetable pea (Pisum sativum var. hortense L.) under the Bundelkhand region. A total of 25 pea accessions were collected from different regions of Uttar Pradesh and Bundelkhand and evaluated for various traits. The estimates of the mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the characters showing the existence of genetic variation in the source material. For the majority of the quantitative characteristics and qualitative traits, high phenotypic and genotypic coefficients of variation were observed. Most of the traits showed high heritability together with high genetic advance. Based on the mean performance the genotypes/variety Narendra Matar 2, VVP 1, JVP 1 and JVP 2 had the highest yield. The variety VVP 1 has good plant height, high seed and pod weight. The varieties JVP 1 and Kashi Nandini have taken fewer days to maturity and also yielded well so these varieties can be also recommended for use a parent for improvement of local material in the Bundelkhand region.
