Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
The experiment was performed at the Research field of Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture, Mandsaur, (M.P.) during rabi 2014-15. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design having two environmental conditions viz, open field and naturally ventilated polyhouse with six varieties i.e. Palam Haritika, Palam Kanchan, Palam Samridhi, Palam Vichitra, MSB-12 and Ganesh with three replications. Quality attributes like protein content and ascorbic acid was found maximum in case of variety Ganesh, dry matter content in case of Palam Samridhi, total sugar and non reducing sugar in case of Palam Kanchan whereas reducing sugar in case of PalamHaritika. Among environmental conditions, naturally ventilated polyhouse was found best for quality attributes except dry matter content as compared to open field. Interaction effect of varieties with environmental conditions was significant for all the characters. Variety Ganesh under polyhouse condition was found best treatment combination with respect to total chlorophyll, protein and ascorbic acid content
