Evaluation of Different Varieties of Pea under AgroClimatic Conditions of Gilgit-Baltistan

Abstract

Materials and Methods Five pea varieties were evaluated for their performance at mountain agricultural research centre (MARC), Juglote, Gilgit during 2017. The varieties are climax, pasan, rondo, meteor and green feast. Results Differences among plant heights of pea varieties were significant with maximum plant height of 85.25 cm noted in plots of variety climax, while the minimum plant height of 45.75 cm was recorded in plots of variety rondo. Number of branches per plant of the different varieties ranged significantly from a minimum of 2.15 (green feast)to a maximum of 4.00 (meteor). Average number of pods per plant varied significantly between 10.84 and 13.71.Maximum pods per plant were found from variety climax (13.71) followed by green feast (13.58). Maximum pod length of 7.900 cm was recorded for variety Rondo, followed by variety green feast with pod length of 5.800 cm, while the minimum of 5.220 cm was recorded for the verity meteor. Maximum pod weight 26.29 kg per plot was obtained from variety climax, followed by 21.75 kg per plot from variety green feast, the minimum pods weight was recorded for variety meteor 16.20 kg per plot. Difference in pods yield of the five varieties were significant, with a maximum pods yield of 3585 kg per hectare recorded for variety climax, followed by 3545 kg per hectare for cultivar green feast and minimum of 2491 kg per hectare noted for variety rondo. Conclusion Therefore, variety climax being the highest yielder can be recommended to the pea growers of Gilgit-Baltistan for commercial cultivation.

Performance of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes for growth and yield characters at Dailekh, Karnali Province, Nepal

“…We reported the highest green pod yield (233.1 g plant -1 ) whereas Ei-dakkak (2016) reported the maximum green pod yield (215.3 g plant -1 ). Differences in green pod yield in pea genotypes were also reported by many researchers (Khichi et al 2017, Poudel et al 2017, Din et al 2019and Luitel et al 2021. Significant differences in PM disease, seed number pod -1 , dry pod number plant -1 , dry seed weight plant -1 , hundred seed weight and seed yield were observed in pea genotypes (Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6).…”

Multi-Locations Evaluation of Garden Pea Genotypes for Pod Characters and Yield

“…Similarly, the highest (12.5 t/ha) pod yield was recorded in HRSDGP-11-18-1, followed by HRSDGP-11-18-11 (12.3 t/ha) and HRSDGP-11-18-2 (12.1 t/ha) and the lowest (8.2 t/ha) was measured in HRSDGP-11-18-9. Significant (p ≤ 0.05) differences in fresh pod yield in pea genotypes have reported by many researchers (Khichi et al, 2017;Din et al, 2019;Luitel et al, 2023). Poudel et al (2017) have reported the highest fresh pod yield (18.14 t/ha) in DGP-09, but this study found the highest fresh pod yield (12.5 t/ha) in HRSDGP-11-18-1.…”
