Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the genetic variability,
heritability and genetic advance of 24 morphological traits and three
biochemical traits in 47 genotypes of vegetable pea. The analysis of
variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all the
characters under study. Highest coefficient of variation was observed for
number of podding nodes per plant and highest phenotypic and genotypic
coefficients of variation were recorded for seed yield per plant followed by
number of primary branches per plant and green pod yield per plant. Very
high heritability estimates were observed for days to last pod picking
(97.63) followed by plant height (97.40), days to first pod picking (96.78)
and shelling percentage (95.56) while genetic advance as percentage of mean
was found high for seed yield per plant (65.95) and primary branches per
plant (58.40). High heritability along with moderate to high genetic advance
was predicted in case of pod weight and number of seeds per pod, which
indicated the role of additive gene action for the inheritance of these
traits and therefore, selection could be used for improving these traits.
