| dc.description.abstract | The present investigation entitled “Evaluation of promising advance lines in garden pea (Pisum sativum L.)” was conducted at Vegetable Research Centre of G.B Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) during rabi season of 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisting of forty genotypes including three checks viz., Pant Uphar, PSM-3 and PSM-6. During the study, observations are recorded for sixteen growth, yield and two quality characters viz., leaf colour, pod curvature, pod end shape, seed shape, seed colour, days to 50% flowering, days to first picking, plant height, pod length, pod diameter, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, average weight of green pod, shelling percentage, green pod yield per plant, green pod yield per hectare, total soluble solid (TSS) and protein content of green seeds. The study on variability, heritability in broad sense, genetic advance as percentage of mean, correlation and path coefficient analysis were carried out. Analysis of variance revealed that all the characters under study showed highly significant differences. High heritability in broad sense along with high genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for the traits viz., average weight of green pod, plant height, green pod yield per plant, green pod yield per hectare, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and shelling percentage. Number of pods per plant and green pod yield per hectare were positively and significantly correlated with pod yield per plant both at genotypic and phenotypic level.The higher magnitude of genotypic and phenotypic positive direct effect on pod yield per plant was observed for days to 50% flowering, plant height and protein content. Among the check varieties, PSM-3 gave higher yield than PSM-6 followed by Pant Uphar. Based on the present investigation, the early maturing and high yielding genotypes viz., PM-72, PM-75, PM-84, PM-94, PM-95, PM-96, PM-99, PM-100, PM-103 and PM-109 were promising and can be recommended for direct commercial cultivation in the tarai area of Uttrakhand. | en_US |
