This study was conducted at Horticultural Research Institute, NARC, Islamabad, Pakistan during autumn 2009-10 to evaluate the performance of 13 peas genotypes for higher yield and drought tolerance under rainfed conditions. Morphological characters studied were; days to 50 percent flowering, number of plants per plot, stem girth per plant, pod length, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed fresh weight, 100-seed dry weight and pod yield. Maximum pod yield was noted in 2001-55 (10.43 t/ha) followed by FS-21-87 (9.52 t/ha). Genotype 2001-55 also excelled in number of seeds per pod (8.56) and pod length (9.33 cm). Maximum plant height was observed in Shareen (125.7 cm) against minimum plant height (65.57 cm) in genotype 2001-55. Maximum 100- seed fresh weight (49.50 g) was noted in FS-21-87 followed by 2001-55 (46.00 g) and check Climax (40.0g) against minimum in genotype DMR-4 (20.20 g) On the basis of overall performances, genotypes 2001-55 and FS-21-87 are recommended for further evaluation.
