Abstract
Correlation analysis for yield and its components in garden pea was conducted using 83 genotypes, grown at vegetable research centre of GBPUAT, Pantnagar during 2001-02. The estimates of genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than those of phenotypic correlation coefficients, thereby indicating a strong association between various traits under studies and the masking effect of environment in the total expression of genotypes. Green pod yield per plant exhibited significant and positive correlation with pod length 100 green pod weight, 100 green seed weight, early yield per plant, TSS, no. of green pod per plant and no. of primary branches per plant, while significant negative correlation with days to first flowering, no. of first flowering nodes, days to first green pod picking, no. of nodes per stem and plant height indicating selection for longer pods more number and weight of green pods, early yield, high TSS, more number of primary branches, less number of nodes per stem and dwarf plants would be highly desirable and effective for improvement of green pod yield in garden pea.
