Study of correlation and index ranging of markingnut (Semecarpus anacardium L.) genotypes in Parbhani district of Marathwada region

Abstract

The present investigation entitled “Study of Correlation and Index Ranging of Markingnut (Semecarpus anacardium L.) Genotypes in Parbhani District of Marathwada Region” was carried out on twenty strain of Markingnut from Parbhani district of Marathwada region in Maharashtra. The correlation studies among 17 characters it was exhibited highest significant positive association of hypocarp weight, fruit weight, kernel weight, volume of tree, fruit volume, hypocarp length, hypocarp volume and size of fruit with yield of tree. In the study of superior types of markingnut genotypes there were wide range of variability was noticed with respect to growth and fruiting parameter, fruiting parameter and chemical characteristics. The genotypes PBN-5, PBN-1, PBN-6 could be rated as most promising genotypes on the basis of the yield of different genotypes.
