The pea (Pisum sativum) is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit. Each pod contains several peas. Pisum sativum is annual plant, with a life cycle of one year.

This study was conducted in Majholi block of Jabalpur District of Madhya Pradesh. The study revealed that majority of the pea growers had (40.00%) medium technological gap followed by (30.40%) had high and only (29.60%) had low regarding overall improved pea production technology respectively. The study also revealed that the socio-economic factors had positive and significant influence on the technological gap of improved pea production technology.
