MORPHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL INDICES FOR DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN PIGEONPEA [Cajanus cajan L. Millsp.] GENOTYPES UNDER RAINFED AND IRRIGATED CONDITIONS
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 60
Abstract
A field experiment was carried at Centre of Excellence for Research on Pulses, Sardar krushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University (S.D.A.U.), Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat during kharif 2013 to study the morpho-physiological indices for drought tolerance of different pigeon pea genotypes under rainfed and irrigated conditions. Significant differences exhibited amongst the genotypes for initial and final plant stand, days to flowering, days to maturity, 100 seed weight, harvest index. The genotypes SKNP 1004, SKNP 1005 and SKNP 0805 recorded minimum percent reduction in yield due to moisture stress. Relative water content (RWC), Drought Tolerance Efficiency (DTE) were found to be the most useful parameters while selecting genotypes for drought tolerance. The genotypes SKNP 1004, SKNP 1005, SKNP 0805 and BANAS were promising for yield and yield contributing characters in both rainfed and irrigated conditions.
