Studies based on performance of different genotypes of yard long bean (Vigna unguiculata ssp. Sesquipedalis (L.) Verdic.)

Abstract

Twelve genotypes of yard long bean based on performance under growth and yield were evaluated in Allahabad Agro-climatic condition under Randomized Block Design with three replications. The experiment was conducted on crop research farm of Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences. Two genotypes were recorded superior over other genotypes COPBVAR -3 and LOLA-C for growth and yield respectively. COPBVAR -3 recorded highest in plant height (189.67 cm), number of branches (10.33), number of flowers per cluster (4.67) and early to days to 50% flowering (47.67). Similarly, LOLA-C recorded maximum total pod yield (264.67 q/ha).
