ABSTRACT
A field experiment was carried out in 2020-21 at Instructional Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. PDKV, Akola with the objective to find out superior genotype of cluster bean for its quality parameters and cost of production i.e., gum content (%), protein content (%), test weight (g) and economics respectively. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and twelve treatments as genotypes. With respect to quality parameters, genotype IC-329639(T4) recorded maximum gum content (32.86 %), while maximum protein content (38.33 %) was found in genotype IC-298638(T8) and maximum (3.98 g) test weight in the genotype IC-421837(T7). Consequently, with regards to economics, highest gross returns (Rs 174000 ha-1), net returns (Rs 129137.7 ha-1) and B:C ratio (3.87) was recorded in the genotype IC-329639(T4).
ABSTRACT
The present investigation was conducted at Department of Horticulture, Horticulture Garden, Dr. PDKV, Akola (M.S.), during kharif 2012-13. The experimental material comprised of 20 genotypes along with one check of brinjal and the experimental was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Variability studies revealed that highly significant differences were recorded among the varieties for all characters. Correlation and path analysis revealed that fruit length, diameter, weight influenced the fruit yield in plant with high direct effect and significant positive correlation. Therefore, fruit length, diameter, weight are an important characters which may be included in selection criteria for improvement in fruit yield per plant.
