Pisum sativum L. had been used as a good source of nutritious food. The estimate of genetic variability was observed for twenty three traits on 60 genotypes. The ANOVA indicated that the mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for days to first flower opening and days to fifty percent flowering, respectively in all the environmental conditions. High magnitude of phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed than the genotypic coefficient of variation for all the characters under study. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variations were exhibited for number of primary branches per plant, number of secondary branches per plant, plant height, number of node per plant, number of effective node per plant, pod bearing length, number of pod per plant, number of effective pod per plant, number of seed per plant, biological yield, biological yield per plant, seed yield per plant and reducing sugar in both of environments. The above finding revealed the presence of substantial amount of genetic variability for the traits, which exhibited high magnitudes as well as less influence of environment on the expression of concerned traits. Day to first flower opening, days to fifty per cent flowering, hundred seed weight, harvest index, total sugar, non-reducing sugar and ash exhibited moderate genotypic and phenotypic coefficient variation in both of environments except number of seed per pod and protein content. Low genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation was observed for days to maturity and pod length in both of two environments, this reveled high influence of environment.
