CORRELATION ANALYSIS ON GROWTH & YIELD ATTRIBUTES IN GARDEN PEA (PISUM SATIVUM VAR HORTENSE L.) VARIETIES

In order to evaluate the character association for 14 quantitative Variables in 15 different Genotypes of Garden pea during the Rabi season of 2018-19 and 2019-20 season, a field investigation was conducted at the Experimental field, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK, Bangalore under Open Field and Shade net Condition.Yield of pods per plant exhibited significant and Positive Correlation with many of yield attributes under both conditions.At phenotypic level, yield per plant exhibited highly significant and positive correlation with weight of pod (0.722), length of pod (0.748), days to last pod picking (0.751), width of Pod (0.768), number of leaves per plant (0.775), height of Plant (0.831), number of primary branches per plant (0.888), length of internode (0.868) under Open field Condition.At phenotypic level, yield of pods per plant exhibited significant and positive correlation with height of Plant (0.705), negatively correlated with days to first flowering (-0314) and days to maturity of pod (-0.094) under Shade net condition.
