Abstract

Thirty four pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes, evaluated for their genetic diversity, were grouped into six clusters. The cluster V and VI were largest with eight genotypes in each. The first cluster containing only one genotype was the most divergent. The inter cluster distance was minimum (11.84) between cluster III and VI and was maximum (41.77) between clusters I and II. These findings suggested that there was much diversity in the populations of 34 genotypes and genotypes of cluster I, II, III and IV could be exploited for hybridization programme.
