Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The present investigation was carried out in the Instructional cum Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Biswanath College of Agriculture, AAU, Biswanath Chariali during 2015-16 to find the variety/varieties suitable for Assam condition. The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design having three environmental conditions viz. Open condition (S1), Poly house (S2) and in Net house (S3) with five varieties i. e. Cristal (V1), Subarina (V2), Sweet Charlie (V3), Winter Dawn (V4) and Eliyana (V5) with three replications. The study revealed that the variety “Subarina” recorded maximum plant height (18.62 cm), plant spread (27.36 cm), produced maximum number of leaves (18.42), longest leaf (8.39 cm), longest petiole (9.12 cm) and maximum number of crowns (5.53). The maximum leaf breadth (13.57 cm) and maximum achene density (19.12/cm2) was recorded in variety “Cristal”. Significantly highest fruit length (4.08 cm), fruit diameter (3.09 cm), number of fruits per plant (18.04), weight of fruits (16.45 g), fruit production (297.33 g/plant) and yield (14.72 ton/ha) were recorded in Subarina. The variety “Subarina” performed well in all the environmental conditions as compared to the other varieties. The results of the experiment revealed that the performance in terms of vegetative growth and production of fruits were superior in Subarina as compared to other four varieties.
