Mean performance of dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L.) genotypes for pod and seed yield Parameters

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out at the Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agriculture School, SHUATS, Allahabad. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design having thirty (genotypes) in three replications. The allocation of treatments of the individual plots using random number in each replications. Maximum green pod yield per plant was recorded in check PUSA SEM-2 which was followed by CG-21. Earliest flowering was recorded in genotypes CG-14 followed by CG-21. Earliest 50% flowering was recorded in genotypes CG-14 followed by CG-21. Highest inflorescence length was recorded in CG-17 followed by CG-26. Number of flowers per inflorescence was recorded maximum in CG-25 which was followed by CG-36. Maximum number of pod per inflorescence was recorded in PUSA SEM-2 followed by CG-21. The earliest first green pod harvest was recorded in CG-14 which was 60.66 days after sowing followed by CG-13 (86.66). The earliest last pod harvest was recorded in CG-15 followed by CG-5. Maximum number of green pod picking was recorded in CG-21 followed by PUSA SEM-2.
