Morphological Characterization and Evaluation of Local Black Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) Genotypes for Yield and Quality under Arecanut Based Cropping System
Journal Title: Open Access Journal of Agricultural Research - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Twenty two black pepper genotypes were characterized morphologically and evaluated for growth yield and quality parameters under arecanut based cropping system during 2015-16 in Uttara Kannada (Dist.), Karnataka. Among them, var. Panniyur-1(control), SV-18 and SV-21 showed light green shoot tip colour, whereas,SV-6, 16, 17 had dark purple while, others had light purple colour. The maximum spike length (20.60cm) was recorded in var. Panniyur-1 followed by SV-12 and SV-20 (17.30cm each). The var. Panniyur-1 showed significantly highest fresh spike yield (24.23kg/vine), fresh berry yield (22.84kg/vine) and dry berry yield (8.22kg/vine).However, yield components viz., number of spikes per unit area, number of spikes per 100 leaves, individual spike weight differed statistically. Among the quality attributes, the bulk density was recorded at a maximum (650g/l) in the genotype SV-15 followed by SV-14 (627.67g/l). The essential oil content was found highest in var. Panniyur-1, SV-7, 2 and SV-16 (2.80% each).Whereas oleoresin was maximum (10.74%) in SV-7. However, the highest piperine content (5.50%) was recorded in genotype SV-15 and next best in SV-7 (5.49%).
