Genetic variability and heritability studies in garden pea (Pisum sativum L.)
Year: 2000
Type: article
Abstract: Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance were studied in a collection of 30 genotypes of garden pea. Considerable genetic variability for pod yield and its component characters were observed. High heritability in association with high genetic advance observed for plant height, length of internode, pod yield/plant, number of pods/plant, seed yield/plant, number of primary branches and 100-seed weight, indicating additive gene effects and emphasized the effectiveness of selection for these traits to improve economic yield.
