Field study consisting of seven lines viz., APL-55, APL-69, APL-80, APL-64, APL-84, Line 1-2-SPS5, Line 1-2-SPS11, along with four checks viz., Azad Pea-1, Lincoln, Punjab-89 and Palam Priya was conducted to identify high yielding powdery mildew resistant line(s) under conventional and natural farming conditions at Palampur during rabi seasons 2015-16 and 2016-17. Data were recorded on yield and related yield contributing traits including powdery mildew incidence. Experimental findings revealed higher yield under conventional farming condition in comparison to the natural farming condition. Under conventional farming conditions, highest number of pods per plant (19.2) with maximum length of pod (10.2 cm), higher number of seeds per pod (9.3) and more number of primary number of branches per plant (2.2) was observed in Line 1-2SPS5. Line 1-2SPS5 gave significantly highest yield (211.5 q/ha) followed by Line 1-2SPS11 (206.0 q/ha). Similarly in natural farming condition maximum number of pods per plant (9.2), higher length of pod (7.5 cm), more number of seeds per pod (7.0), more number of primary branches per plant (1.1) and higher pod yield (78.0 q/ha) was noted in Line 1-2SPS5 followed by Line 1-2SPS11 (72.3 q/ha). Line 1-2-SPS5 exhibited resistance to powdery mildew disease and was also superior with respect to yield contributing traits like pod length, number of seeds/pod, number of pods/plant, pod yield/plant (g) and pod yield (q/ha) under both conventional and natural farming conditions.
