ABSTRACT
A full diallel crosses of six-parents was evaluated in peas for earliness, dry matter and shelling percentage.
From the study, there were highly significant differences among the genotypes, days to flowering and shelling
percentage were under the control of both additive and non-additive gene actions, while dry matter was under
the control of additive gene actions. Days to flowering was controlled by partial dominance, also, dry matter and
shelling percentage were controlled by over dominance. The Vr/Wr graphs confirm the previous analysis only in
shelling percentage. Broad and narrow sense heritability were ranged from moderate to low for all the studied
characters.
