of 1 1 vegetable pea (P. sativum L.) germplasm was tested during
rabi 1999-2000. Germplasm PS-02 ranked first by producing maximum yield
of 3167 kg ha-1, while germplasm PS-10 with 3056 kg ha-1
ranked second. Minimum yield of 91 1 kg ha-1 was obtained by
PS-07, followed by PS-11 with 1389 kg ha-1 Average grain yield
of group I was 45% higher than the average yield of group II. The average
values of grain yield decreased in descending order from 2756 to 1513
kg ha-1 in group I and group II, respectively. Similarly the
average values of plant height, branches per plant, dry matter yield and
pods per plant decreased in descending order i.e. 1 37 to 89 cm, 2.5 to
2.2, 8490 to 3759 kg ha-1 and 1 1 to 7 in group I and group
II, respectively and showed positive relationship with grain yield. The
average values of pod length and harvest index increased in descending
order i.e. 4.2 to 4.9 cm and 31.7 to 43.9 % in group I and group II, respectively.
The relationship of days to maturity, seeds per pod and 100-seed weight
with grain yield was not very well established. The association of harvest
index with dry matter yield was significantly negative.]]>Ihsan-ul-Haq, H.R. and S.A. Hussain,1997133134Ishtiaq, M., Z. Ahmad and A. Shah,199613425431Wadan, D.M.K. and A. Majeed,19939139143Gupta, R.P., 19903186188Sarkar, R.K., 19903168170
