Abstract

Economic heterosis for dry seed yield in 66 hybrids of pea (Pisum sati'l1um L.) has been recorded up to 680/•. Mean BP heterosis was maximum in the crosses involving exotic X exotic parents. Heterosis for yield was generally accompanied by heterosis for pods/plant. Two crosses, viz., T 163 X Bonneville and T 163 X Sel-~ could be considered promising heterotic crosses. Possil)ilities for the exploitation of hybrid vigour in pea are discussed.
