Study of genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance in Table Pea (Pisum sativum (L.) spp. Hortense L.)

Table Pea (Pisum sativum spp. hortense L.) experiment was sown in November. The germplasm stock maintained at Horticulture Research Centre, Department of Horticulture, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Modipuram, Meerut, for agronomically practices to keep the crop in good condition. Study of morphological in landrace collections was carried out during November 2013. The present experiment was conducted with 40 Parents developed for analysis. An experiment was conducted to study the variability, heritability and genetic advance in important traits of table pea for the purpose of genetic improvement and their effect in populations. The genotypic variation ranged between 3.23 to 27.07 for width of pod, and plant height respectively. The phenotypic variation ranged between 4.82 to 27.11 for width of pod and plant height respectively and high heritability (> 60%) namely for days to 50% flowering (80.25).
