Seven pea cultivars (Pisum sativum L.) were crossed in a line × tester mating design. The 12 F5 generation and their parents were evaluated using a completely randomized block design with three replications in Kurdistan Reign, Iraq at Qlyasan Agricultural Research Station, University of Sulaimani, during the winter season of 2015-2016. Heritability in a broad sense was high for all treats except number and seed weight pod which were low, while in narrow sense it was low for all treats except average pod weight and 100-seed weight which were high. Highly significant and positive correlation was found between seed weight plant with pod number plant, while highly significant and negative correlation was recorded between seed weight plant with pod length and seed weight pod. Seed number pod recorded maximum direct effect in seed weight plant, while maximum positive indirect effect in seed weight plant recorded by pod length via pod number plant. The present study was conducted to find out the relative importance of various yield traits for seed yield and to evaluate promising genotypes by mean of correlation and to find genetically diverse genotypes which can be used further in a various breeding program in developing wide yielding varieties.
