Genetic Diversity in Edible Podded Pea (Pisum sativum var. saccharatum)

Thirty-six genotypes of snap pea were evaluated during winter 2016-17. D² analysis dispersed genotypes in seven polygenotypic clusters with maximum in cluster VI. Genotypes from clusters I and VII followed by II and VII would be paying preposition in hybridization programme with higher inter-cluster divergence. Cluster III showed the highest means for most of economic traits. Genotypes ‘DPEPP-15-1’, ‘DPEPP-10-1’, ‘DPEPP-2’, ‘DPEPP-12-2’, ‘Arka Apoorva’ and ‘DPEPP-4-2’ showed promise either directly as varieties or as potential parents in future breeding program.
