Study on association analysis for seed yield and its yield contributing traits in field pea genotypes for characters to identify genotypes to be used in future breeding programme. The result showed high GCV and PCV was recorded for the characters number of primary branches per plant (GCV= 25.12; PCV= 26.87) followed by seed yield per plant(23.70 ; 26.17), harvest index(%) (23.49; 25.00) and number of pods per plant(19.40 ; 21.19). If the value of PCV is higher than the GCV, suggested that the apparent variation is not only due to genotypic but also due to the influence of environment. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percentage of mean reported in harvest index (88.28%), number of primary branches per plant (87.41%), number of pod per plant (83.88%), seed yield per plant(82.04%), pod length (80.01%) and number of seed per pod (78.69%). This indicated substantial of additive genetic variance in expression of these characters and can be useful in hybridization and selection for higher pod yield.
