PERFORMANCE OF TORIA (BRASSICA COMPESTRIS SYN. RAPA L.) VARIETY: RAJ VIJAY TORIA-2 IN CENTRAL, EASTERN AND NORTH-EASTERN STATES OF INDIA UNDER RAINFED CONDITION
Journal Title: FLORA AND FAUNA - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 2
Abstract
Performance of developed genotype RMT 08-2 was evaluated in central, eastern and north-eastern states of India under rain-fed condition for quantitative and qualitative traits. It gave highest seed yield over checks in zone III and V. Morphologically plants were erect, medium spreading in nature and primary branches with dichotomous habit. Plants height ranged from 107- 124 (cm) which matured in 82-112 days. Mature seeds were round in shape and blackish brown in colour. No significant difference between RVT-2 and checks were observed for test weight trait. An average oil yield 485 (kg/h) was recorded over 7 places which was 10% higher than both checks i.e. 14.12% and 11.24% under AICRP trials. Maximum seed yield was obtained on farmers field during 2013-14 and 2014-15 which was 1500 (kg/h) and 1215 (kg/h) that is 33.42% and 26.30% respectively over farmers own seeds. At Morena center, highest seed yield (1753 kg/h) over Bhawani (1512 kg/h) was 15.94% higher than check whereas RVT-2 gave 2245 (kg/h) against Bhawani (1975 kg/h) which was 13.67% higher. DNA finger printing indicated that primers PUT-19, PUT-96, PUT-149, PUT-169, PUT-181 and PUT-271 are useful in generating unique profile of RVT-2 containing 27 bands for its discrimination from other varieties

STUDY OF CHICKPEA VARIETIES AGAINST PULSE BEETLE (CALLOSOBRUCHUS CHINENSIS) IN STORAGE
Maximum fecundity was found on genotype RVSSG-38. The adult emergence on different genotypes ranged from 7.0 to 18.0. Genotype RVSSG-44 recorded maximum percent loss in seed weight. Genotype RVSSG-43 had minimum percenta...
EVALUATION OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS AND PROTEIN CONTENT OF CHICKPEA (CICER ARIETINUM) IN REALTION TO RESISTANCE AGAINST PULSE BEETLE (CALLOSOBRUCHUS CHINENSIS)
Twelve genotypes with variation in seed size, seed weight, seed coat colour and seed shape were included for the study. Genotype RVSSG-44 recorded maximum percent loss in seed weight. Genotype RVSSG-43 had minimum percen...
EFFECT OF FOLIAR SPRAYS OF GIBBERELLIC ACID ON NODULE NUMBER SHOOT AND ROOT LENGTH OF PHASEOLUS ACONITIFOLIUS
