Abstract

Twenty-five genotypes of diverse origin of dwarf pea (Pisum sativum, L.) were analysed for their yield and various yield contributing characters. Correlation co-efficient analysis revealed that seed yield was positively associated with days to 50% flowering, first pod bearing node, pods/cluster, pod length, seeds/pod and harvest index. Path co-efficient analysis revealed that harvest index, biological yield, pod number, pods/cluster and pod length seem to be the major yield contributing traits in dwarf field pea.
