Abstract
In order to evaluate the performance of some new genotypes of vegetable pea under tarai condition of Uttarakhand, an investigation was carried out at Vegetable Research Centre, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, during rabi season of 2012-13. The experiment consisted of 21 new genotypes and 5 commercial cultivars was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. During study, observations for plant height (cm), days to first flowering, days to maturity, pod length (cm), number of pods per plant, yield (t/ha), shelling percent (%) and T.S.S. (obrix) were recorded. Based on the findings of present investigation, the new genotype PMR 51 found was the most promising in respect to number of pods per plant, and green pod yield. With respect to pod length genotype PM 81 was proved the best.
