The present investigation was carried out to estimate phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation, heritability (broad sense), genetic advance and genetic gain for 15 quantitative traits in 21 different genotypes of Garden pea during Rabi2011-12 at Vegetable Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi (U. P.). Significant differences among the genotypes were observed for all the characters under study. Mean performance recordings showed genotype VRP-38 has earliest flowering, VRP-3 has maximum number of primary branches, VRP-7 for pod yield and VRP-372 recorded maximum seed yield. The PCV and GCV values were high for plant height, seed weight per pod and number of primary branches per plant. High heritability and moderate genetic gain was observed for characters like days to 50% flowering, days to 100% flowering, length of garden pea pods and width of garden pea pods. This indicated the influence of non additive gene action and environment in the expression of these traits.
