Evaluate the performance of some genotypes of garden pea with correlation to phenotypic traits at Jellien and Al-Somakiate districts, Dara'a governorate


Abstract in English

This research was conducted at two distinct environmentally locations, Jellien and Al-Somakiate belong to Dara'a Research Center, the General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research during 2011-2012 growing season. 13 garden pea genotypes were planted according to a randomized complete block design with three replicates to study the performance of these genotypes for 10 important quantitative traits and to detrmine the genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of correlation between the traits studied. Results showed that there were significant differences among the genotypes for all traits studied at both distict locations. The genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than corresponding phenotypic correlations, in addition, the value and direction of correlation coefficient at both levels were different from location to another. Green pod yield showed positive and significant correlations with pod width, harvest index and 10-green pod weight at Jellien location, and with pod length, pod width, pods number per plant and 10-green pod weight at Al-Somakiate location.
