Genetic Variability, Genetic heritability, Qualitative and quantitative Traits, Garden PeaAbstract
A field trial was conducted during the Pea growing seasons of 2022 and 2023 to detect genetic variability and heritability of 22 pea genotypes comprising 17 accessions and 5 commercial varieties. The three replications randomized complete block design assessed 19 quantitative and six qualitative characters for maturity, yield, and yield component. Analysis of variance showed significant (p<0.01) differences among the genotypes for quantitative traits. P.G-3 is the pea genotype that had the shortest emergence time at 10.3 days, days to 50% flowering (111.4 days), pod length (11.3 cm), and seeds per pod (8.5). P.G-8 recorded the longest duration to first picking; it was 141.6 days. Also, P.G-7 registered a 5.56 average for picking number and 7.8 for branches. The highest stem recorded in P.G-2 with 198.2 cm, P.G-15 had the highest number of leaves (103.5) and pods (35.4), and P.G-16 had the largest pod diameter (1.15 cm). Tarnab Pea registered the highest weight for 100 fresh green seeds (47.0 g), while Bashir 2021 had the thickest stem (0.62 cm), and the highest yield (13.5 tons/ha). Due to their advance in early maturation and yield performance, P.G-7, P.G-8, and P.G-15 are recommended for multi-location trials and pea breeding programs.
