Cultivars and Hybrids under Shade-net House Conditions of Western Rajasthan(Agriculture University, Jodhpur, 2019) MEHAR, KUNJ BIHARI; Moond, S. K.; Choudhary, Santosh; Kumar, Vinod; Verma, J. R.To study performance of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cultivars and hybrids under shade-net house conditions of western Rajasthan Kunj Bihari Mehar* Dr. S.K. Moond** Research Scholar Major Advisor ABSTRACT An experiment entitled “To study performance of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cultivars and hybrids under shade-net house conditions of western Rajasthan” was carried out during September 2018 to March 2019 at College of Agriculture, Mandore-Jodhpur (Rajasthan). The experiment comprised of twelve brinjal cultivars and hybrids viz. „Pusa Hybrid-5‟, „Pusa Shyamla‟, „Pusa Hybrid-6‟, „Pusa Upkar‟, „Pusa Kaushal‟, „Pusa Uttam‟, „Pusa Hybrid-9‟, „Pusa Anupam‟, „Soyla Local‟, „MAHY 80‟, „MAHY Kalpataru‟ and „Sungro F1 Hybrid Brinjal No. 117‟ and was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Significant differences were found amongst the cultivars and hybrids of brinjal for the studied characters. The „Pusa Hybrid-5‟ recorded the maximum plant height (106.67 cm), while the maximum numbers of primary branches plant-1 (8.73) and number of leaves plant-1 (288.13) were recorded in „Pusa Anupam‟. The „MAHY 80‟ produced the largest leaves (156.68 cm 2 ). The „Pusa Hybrid-9‟ recorded the maximum stem girth (49.72 mm) and plant dry weight (211.14 g), while the maximum plant fresh weight (761.43 g) in „Soyla Local‟. The earliest first flower bud formation (26.93 DAT) and 50% flowering (35.0 DAT) were noted in „Pusa Hybrid9‟. The „Pusa Uttam‟ produced the maximum number of clusters plant-1 (52.40), while „Pusa Kaushal‟ produced the maximum number of flowers cluster-1 (6.93) but the maximum number of fruits cluster-1 (1.09) was produced in „MAHY 80‟. The „Pusa Hybid-6‟ produced the maximum number of fruits plant-1, highest fruit yield plant-1 , highest fruit yield plot-1 and estimated highest fruit yield ha-1 (36.20, 1.65 kg, 32.21 kg and 509.69 q, respectively). The maximum fruit diameter (5.02 cm) was recorded in „MAHY 80‟ at marketable stage and „Pusa Upkar‟ (8.59 cm) at physiological maturity stage. The „Pusa Hybrid-5‟ had the longest fruit length at both marketable stage (14.07 cm) and physiological maturity stage (17.07 cm). The heaviest fruits at marketable stage were observed in „MAHY 80‟ (72.74 g) and at physiological maturity stage in „Sungro F1 Hybrid Brinjal No.117‟ (234.0 g). Fruits of all the cultivars and hybrids were non-spiny except „Soyla Local‟ and „MAHY Kalpataru‟. The fruits having highest TSS (5.10 ºBrix) were noted in „Pusa Hybrid-6‟. The highest crop growth rate was observed in „Sungro F1 Hybrid Brinjal No. 117‟ (11.71 g m-2 day-1), while the highest net assimilation rate (0.285 mg cm-2 day-1) in „Pusa Uttam‟. The brinjal „Pusa Hybrid-6‟ resulted as the highest yielder under shade-net house conditions in off-season of western Rajasthan providing the highest net returns (Rs. 23,332 per 500 m2 area) and B:C ratio (1.84) followed by „Pusa Hybrid-9‟and „MAHY 80‟. * Post-graduate student, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Jodhpur. ** Assoc.

R. Br.](Agriculture University, Jodhpur, 2019-05-24) Yadav, Shankar Lal; Rajpurohit, B.S.; Choudhary, B.R.; Choudhary, SantoshAn experiment entitled “Genetic Variability and Divergence Study for Seed Yield and it’s Components in Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]” was carried out during Kharif 2018 at the Research Farm of Project Coordinating Unit, AICRP on Pearl Millet, Mandor, Jodhpur. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 30 genotypes and three replications to estimate the extent of genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation coefficient, path coefficient analysis and genetic divergence among all the genotypes. Analysis of variance showed highly significant variance among the genotypes for all the characters, under study, indicated availability of wide spectrum of variability among the genotypes. The phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was slightly higher than the respective genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all the characters under study indicated less influence of environment on the genotypes in expression of traits. Highest magnitudes of PCV and GCV were observed for zinc content whereas, the lowest PCV and GCV were observed for days to maturity. High estimate of heritability along with high genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for days to 50% flowering, plant height, number of productive tillers per plant, panicle length, panicle diameter, stover yield per plant, grain yield per plant, 1000 grain weight, harvest index, iron content and zinc content indicated role of additive gene action for expression of these characters and are proven important for improving seed yield. High heritability values with moderate genetic advance as percentage of mean were observed for days to maturity and protein content. The grain yield per plant was found positively correlated with plant height, panicle diameter, stover yield per plant, 1000 grain weight and harvest index which showed that these traits are may be the selection criteria in breeding programme for improvement of seed yield. Path coefficient analysis revealed that stover yield per plant, harvest index, plant height and 1000 grain weight were the important characters for selection of high yielding accessions as they exerted high positive direct effect as well as showed positive significant correlation with grain yield per plant. Based upon the genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance as percentage of mean, correlation and path analysis it was concluded that stover yield per plant, grain yield per plant, harvest index, number of productive tillers per plant, panicle diameter and panicle length are most important yield components in pearl millet breeding programme. Based on the relative magnitude of D2 values resulted through Tocher’s method the genotypes were grouped in six clusters. Out of six clusters, cluster I was the largest comprising of 25 genotypes followed by mono genotypic cluster II, III, IV, V and VI. This suggested the existence of high degree of diversity among the genotypes. The trait iron content contributed maximum towards genetic divergence. The intra cluster distance was recorded in cluster I. The inter cluster distance was highest between cluster IV and VI followed by cluster V and VI, and III and VI indicated that superior recombinants can be achieved by crossing between the genotypes RIB-17/009 x RIB-15177, J-2405 x RIB-15177 and RIB-335/04 x RIB 15177 in a definite fashion.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Staggered Sowing and Spacing on Growth, Yield and Quality of Carrot (Daucus carota L.) Varieties in Arid Region of Rajasthan(Agriculture University, Jodhpur, 2019-05-28) Somveer; Choudhary, Santosh; Moond, S.K.; Raiger, P.R.A field experiment was conducted at College of Agriculture, Mandor, Jodhpur during the Kharif season of 2018, to find out the suitable variety and its optimum sowing time and spacing for higher yield, quality and net returns of carrot in western Rajasthan. The treatments comprising two varieties (‘Pusa Rudhira’ and ‘Pusa Vrishti’), three spacing (20 cm × 10 cm, 30 cm × 10 cm and 30 cm × 20 cm) and four dates of sowing (10th August, 25th August, 10th September and 25th September) allocated in Factorial Randomized Block Design with three replications. Experiment results revealed that variety ‘Pusa Vrishti’ recorded significantly higher growth parameters while ‘Pusa Rudhira’ recorded significantly higher yield parameters, root yield (23.8 t ha-1), quality parameters and net returns (Rs. 2,55,491) with lesser days to marketable maturity (73.9). Among different spacing, significantly higher growth and yield parameters were observed in widest spacing (30 cm × 20 cm). However, root yield (24.5 t ha-1) and net returns (Rs.2,26,604) were recorded highest in S1 (20 cm × 10 cm). The 25th September sowing recorded significantly highest growth parameters, yield parameters, yield (25.8 t ha-1) and quality parameters besides being earliness in term of maturity (73.7 days). However, the highest net returns (Rs. 3,09,028) and B:C ratio (4.33) were recorded in 10th August sowing. The combination of ‘Pusa Vrishti’ sown on 25th September, recorded highest plant height at 60 DAS (39.3 cm) and fresh weight of aerial part (101.9 g) whereas, ‘Pusa Rudhira’ sown on 25th September combination recorded significantly higher values of fresh weight of root (139.4 g), root yield (11.1 kg plot-1) and root yield (25.8 t ha-1). Hence, variety ‘Pusa Rudhira’ sown in closer spacing of 20 cm × 10 cm spacing under staggered sowing is found to be superior in terms of yield, quality, earliness and net returns in the arid regions of Rajasthan.ThesisItem Open Access Effect of Spacing and Training Method on Growth and Yield of Off-season Ridge Gourd (Luffa acutangula L.) Cultivation Under Insect Proof Net-house Conditions(Agriculture University, Jodhpur, 2019-06-10) Verma, Manisha; Moond, S.K.; Choudhary, Santosh; M.M., SundriaAn experiment entitled “Effect of spacing and training method on growth and yield of off-season ridge gourd (Luffa acutangula L.) cultivation under insect proof net house conditions” was carried out during Rabi season of 2018-19 at College of Agriculture, Mandor-Jodhpur. The experiment comprised of nine treatment combination of viz. three levels of spacing 45 cm × 45 cm (S1), 45 cm × 60 cm (S2) and 45 cm × 75 cm (S3), with three training methods viz. Single stem (T1), Double stem (T2) and Triple stem (T3), laid out in factorial RBD with three replications. The results revealed that the plants grown in wider (S3) spacing recorded the maximum leaf area (94.72 cm2 ), the minimum internodal length (16.46 cm), earliest first flower appearance (23.74 days), earliest first anthesis (31.36 days), the maximum number of flowers produced per vine (134.88), production of first flower at a lower node (6.18), highest number of fruits produced per vine (62.44), maximum fruit weight (33.22 g), fruit volume (42.54 cc), TSS (2.34 °Brix) and yield per vine (2.07 kg). The maximum yield per plot (19.14 kg) was observed in close spacing (S1). Amongst the training methods single stem training (T1) recorded the maximum vine length (378.13 cm), number of leaves per stem (22.15), number of nodes per stem (22.89), leaf area (94.87 cm2 ), earliest first flower appearance (23.74 days) and first flower anthesis (31.98 days), the minimum internodal length (16.33 cm), production of first flower at lower node (5.96), the maximum fruits length (11.47 cm), fruit diameter (3.41 cm), fruit volume (47.18 cc) and fruit weight (33.81 g), while the highest number of flowers produced per vine (143.54), number of fruits produced per vine (66.88), yield per vine (1.79 kg) and yield per plot (17.86 kg) were recorded in triple stem training (T3). The treatment 45 × 75 cm spacing with triple stem training recorded the maximum numbers of flowers (145.35) and fruits (67.67) produced per vine while the treatment 45 × 45 cm spacing with triple stem training had the highest net returns (Rs. 86,142.0) as well as B:C ratio (2.78).ThesisItem Open Access Genetic Variability and Diversity Analysis in Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.)(Agriculture University, Jodhpur, Jodhpur, 2019-06-10) Ms. Priyanka; Dr. Santosh Choudhary; S K Moond, B R Choudhary, Sundria M.MThesisItem Open Access Morphological Characterization and Diversity Studies in Sesame(Agriculture University, Jodhpur, Jodhpur, 2019-06-12) Ms. Manisha Kumari; Dr. B.R.
