The project was undertaken to evaluate promising varieties of garden pea developed at Benguet State University-Institute of Plant Breeding Highland Crops Research Station and to identify potential varieties for nomination and recommendation to the National Seed Industry Council (NSIC) for release as new locally-bred variety of garden pea with higher yield and better horticultural characteristics than the commercial varieties for regional commercialization. Out of the 183 accessions collected from foreign sources, 23 were identified potential parents. They were involved in hybridization program including existing commercial varieties through pedigree method of breeding. Characterization and evaluation were done among F2 to F6 segregating populations. The top ten advanced breeding lines including the check variety were identified as promising varieties. They were entered in on-farm field trials in different locations in La Trinidad from 2006-2008 which resulted to official approval and registration of CLG 18A as NSIC 2008 GP1 with popular name 'Betag' on November 20, 2008 by the DA-NSIC as new improved garden pea variety for regional commercialization in the Cordillera.
