ABSTRACT
 
Eleven Garden pea genotypes viz. DGP 01, DGP 02, DGP 03, DGP 04, DGP 05, DGP 06, DGP 07, DGP 08, DGP 09, DGP 10 and Arkel, a check variety, were evaluated for selection of suitable high yielding genotypes for Jumla, a high hill district of mid-western region of Nepal during 2014 and 2015. The study was conducted at Horticulture Research Station, Rajikot, Jumla by using randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The highest average fresh pod yield (10.08 t/h) was observed in DGP 09 followed by DGP 01 (9.55 t/ha) and DGP 03(9.53 t/ha). Organoleptic evaluation showed that the pods of DGP 03 and DGP 09 had acceptable quality in taste. Based on the results, genotypes DGP-09 and DGP-03 were found to be good in vegetative, organoleptic as well as yield component characters. So, these genotypes can be recommended for commercial production in Karnali-zone of Nepal.
