Nair, Priya | Khare, Dhirendra
Among the traits that may determine the transportability of green pod of vegetable pea, green pod weight, pod wall weight, seed weight/pod and pod thickness had high estimate for heritability and genetic advance, whereas low estimate for seed pod ratio, pod water content and seed water content. The water content was low in pod wall and seed of AP 1 E6 and VRP 6. The pod wall water content in Aekel (check) was low (27%) but seed water content was high (25.53%). Present investigation reveals that A 1 E6 and VRP 6 had better transportability than Arkel. High heritability and genetic advance for total sugar and reducing sugar indicate use of direct selection for improvement. Genotype Arkel Pusa Pragati and VRP6 had high total sugar (10%) with 80% part as reducing sugar.
