ABSTRACT
 
An experiment was conducted to evaluate eleven genotypes of garden pea in the field of Horticulture Research Station, Dailekh under mid hill conditions. The genotypes were evaluated in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice during 2013/14 and 2014/15. The genotype 'ARSDGP-11', a standard check, took least number of days to 50% flowering (60 days) followed by 'ARSDGP-04' (63.7 days) and 'ARSDGP-06' (64 days). Both the genotypes 'ARSDGP-02' and 'ARSDGP-3' produced the highest number of pods (23.00 /plant) followed by 'ARSDGP-09'(17.77/plant) and 'ARSDGP-07'(17.57/plant). Green pod yield was the highest in 'ARSDGP-02'(19.41t/h) followed by 'ARSDGP-03'(18.86 t/h). As far as dry grain yield is concerned 'ARSDGP-02' was the highest yielder (2.59 t/h) followed by 'ARSDGP-08'(2.35 t/h) and 'ARSDGP-10'(2.21 t/h).
