Assessment of Genetic Divergence based on Cluster and Principal Component Analyses for Yield and its Contributing Characters in field Pea (Pisum Sativum L.) Genotypes at Bekoji South Eastern of Ethiopia
The pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an annual grain legume of the Papillonaceae family. It is thought to be originated in the Ethiopia, part of Europe and Asia. It is one of the four most important cultivated legumes along¬side soybean, groundnut and beans. The development of varieties for yield and disease resistance is one of the important activities to support farmers and improve the productivity of the crop. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess genetic diversity by cluster and principal component (PCA) analyses of field pea genotypes.
