The present investigation conducted with the using 40 genotypes of vegetable pea to study the extent of variability and genetic divergence among the genotypes for growth yield and quality attributes. The study was conducted in the Randomized block design with 3 replications. The study revealed that mean sum of squares due to genotypes for 18 quantitative characters was highly significant for all traits indicating ample variation among the genotypes. The estimates of phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) were higher than genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) for all the traits. High magnitudes of variability were observed in case of number of pods per plant, primary branches per plant and pod yield per plant, with of pod. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance in per cent of mean were observed for number of pods per plant, primary branches per plant and pod yield per plant indicating scope of high selection response. High estimate of heritability along with high genetic advance in per cent of mean provides good scope for further improvement in advance generations.
