Evaluation of per se performance of parental line and their hybrids for their yield and yield attributing traits in Gardenpea (Pisum sativum (L.) var hortense.)

The present work entitled “Evaluation of per se performance of parental lines and their hybrids for yield and yield contributing characters in Garden pea (Pisum sativum var hortense)” was conducted at the Department of Vegetable Science, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD). Five Parental line GS-10, AP-3, AP-1, KS-282 and C18-3 were grown in Rabi2022 and mated into 5x5 Half-Diallel mated design and further the 10 F1s were grown in Rabi 2023. The result of the study revealed that among the Parents AP-1 performed better in case of Days to first flowering (46.43 DAS), days to edible pod maturity (52.98), number of pods per plant (10.166) and width of pod (1.43 cm) and AP-3 performed better in case of weight of 20 healthy pods (72.87gm), edible pod yield q per ha (72.561q/ha) and plant height (55.8cm). Among their hybrids AP-1XC18-3 perform better in case of days to flowering (44.133 days), days to edible pod maturity (51.62 days), pod length (10.24cm), pod width (1.47) and weight of 20 healthy pods at edible stage (80.00gm).
