Description A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2010-11 and 2011-12 at the Regional Research Station(Hill Zone) of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Kalimpong, to elucidate the effect of different sowing date and cultivars on yield of garden pea (Pisum sativum L.). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with treatment comprising three dates of sowing, viz. 26 October, 18 November and 04 December in main plots and 8 different pea cultivar, viz. Phanthom, PSM (3), Early 6, GS 10, Azad P 1, Arkel, Pusa Pragati and Darjeeling local in subplots and replicated three times. Sowing at 26 October, significantly influenced the number of pods/plant and was statistically similar with 18 November sowing, and significantly better to other set of sowing. Analysis revealed that 39.2 and 30.6 % more pods/plant with 26 October and 18 November, sowing respectively compared to the late sowing, i e 04 December. The number of pods/plant was highest with cultivar, viz. GS 10 (26.66) and was closely followed by Darjeeling local (25.31) and Early 6 (25.02). These were at par to each other and significantly superior to rest of the tested cultivars. Maximum pod production was obtained with 26 October, sowing which was significantly superior to all other date of sowing. This was followed by November 18, however, least pod yield was registered with extreme late sown condition, i e 04 December. Amongst the cultivar, GS 10 was found to be best because of maximum value of yield attributing characters and gave significantly more pod yield (78.64 q/ha), and was at par with Early 6 (76.25 q/ha) and Darjeeling local (75.98 q/ha), whereas Arkel gave significantly lower yield than all other cultivars under trial. GS 10 recorded 31.71 % pod yield over the genotype Arkel, which produced lowest grain yield amongst all tested cultivars. Amongst the cultivars, Arkel experience the maximum disease incidence and this was statistically at par with disease reaction with Azad P1 followed by Phanthom. The cultivar GS 10 has experienced less disease incidence compared to all other tested cultivars during all the sowing dates. The relationship between powdery mildew incidence and weather factors indicated a negative correlation between maximum and minimum temperature with a correlation coefficient of –0.37 and –0.53, respectively. Net return of Rupees 29 553 was higher reported with 18 November, sowing and was followed by late 26 October (Rupees 34 621). However, higher benefit: cost ratio of 2.47 was recorded with 26 October, sowing. Amongst all varietal treatments, maximum net return (Rupees 32 925/ha)and benefit: cost ratio (2.40) was recorded with cultivar GS 10 and was followed by Early 6 and Darjeeling local..
