This paper investigates the concept of direct sum G1⊕G2 of two picture fuzzy graphs G1 and G2 are defined and when two picture fuzzy graphs are effective then their direct sum need not be effective is proved. The degree of vertices in the direct sum G1⊕G2 of picture fuzzy graph is obtained in terms of degrees of vertices in the two picture fuzzy graphs G1 and G2.
