French bean and Pea are an important vegetable crop consumed by human being as green pods and dry seeds due to its high nutritive value as the source of the amino acid, lysine and tryptophan as well as provides valuable dietary protein in the human diet. Considering its use as a vegetable which fits well indifferent cropping systems, there is need for improvement and development of cultivars to specific agro ecological conditions. The knowledge of genetic diversity is an important tool for any breeding programme aimed to exploit hybrid vigour. Moreover, the information related to the nature and extent of association among various yield attributes, direct and indirect influence of each of the component traits on yield could prove helpful in formulating effective breeding strategy. The magnitude of the variability present in a crop species is of utmost importance for the relative improvement of the cultivars, suitable for a particular region. Thus, there is a need to develop varieties having good yield and quality characters. For this, the breeder requires a good knowledge of variability. The subsequent study of interrelations among different characters further helps in bringing effective improvement.
