Abstract
The experiment was carried out in the field of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Mymensingh, during the period from 15 November 2003 to 10 March 2004 to study the morpho-physiological variations at different growth stage and yield attributes of three pea genotypes viz.; Exotic-I, IPSAMotorshuti-2 and IPSAMotorshuti-3. Results revealed that genotypes showed significant differences for plant height, number of branches plant-1, number of leaves plant-1, leaf area, fresh weight of roots, dry weight of roots, number of nodule, chlorophyll-a content, chlorophyll-b content, number of pods plant-1, seed spod-1, 1000-seed weight and seed yield plant-1 at different growth stages. Among the varieties, IPSAMotorshuti-3 attained the highest plant height, leaf number plant-1, leaf area, fresh and dry weights of root and chlorophyll content. On the other hand Exotic-1 had the highest branch number plant-1, nodule number plant-1, number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, 1000-seed weight and seed yield. IPSAMotorshuti-2 experienced the intermediate position in respect of the above mentioned characters.
