Abstract
Field studies were conducted at Potato Research Farm, Battakundi (upper Kaghan valley) to evaluate eight Pea cultivars for yield potential against Powdery mildew during summer 2011. The disease severely infected the cultivars “Spring and Strike” up to the maximum at each side. Six cultivars were found resistant and two susceptible to the disease. Among the resistant cultivars, cultivar “Misty” out yielded with fresh Pod yield of 10.55 tons/ha followed by cultivars Legacy, Climax, Tops, Green cross Advinta giving fresh Pod yield of 10, 8.89, 7.09 and 6.48 tons/ha, respectively.
