Brinjal or eggplant (Solanum melongena L. 2n= 24) of the family solanaceae is one of the important and popular vegetable crop grown in India and other parts of the world. It has demand throughout the year but it faces diseases like phomopsis leaf the crop. Studies conducted to screen for resistant varieties of brinjal against P.vexansmet, with little success. Hence...

Genetic variability and correlation were studied and the characters like fruit weight (g), number of fruits per plant had high PCV and GCV whereas, heritability was observed high for all the characters. Genetic advance was highest for fruit weight (229.06%). Correlation study indicated that fruit yield per plant was positively correlated with fruit weight. Maximum ...

The present investigation was carried out in the year 2013 in the Experimental Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, College of Horticulture and Forestry, Central Agricultural University, Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design with 80 treatments (twenty cowpea genotypes with four aluminium level i.e.0, 20, 40,...

A detailed study was conducted to evaluate 76 diverse genotypes of tomato including four checks for yield and seed production under high temperature stress. The experiment was carried out using randomized block design at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana during the summer season for two years ...

The present investigation entitled “Screening of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) hybrids for hot set.” was carried out at Tomato Improvement Scheme, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Dist. Ahmednagar, during summer season 2018. The experiment consisted of twenty-one hybrids and one hybrid check (TO 1057) were planted in Randomize...

The present investigation entitled “Screening of F3 pre-breeding lines of brinjal (IC 261767 x Solanum khasianum) against fruit and shoot borer” was carried out during the year 2019-2020 in the Experimental Farm of Division of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, SKUAST, Jammu. Total 10 pre-breeding lines of brinjal (IC 261767 x Solanum khasianum) were screened for ...

The present investigation entitled, “Screening of Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench) germplasm against Okra Yellow Vein Mosaic Virus disease under field condition” was conducted at All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops of OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha during summer season of 2015. The objective was to study the genetic variability and scre...

The screening wascarried out undertwo conditions, control laboratory environment andnaturally ventilated polyhouse maintaining 25 pea genotypes at 3 levels of Al (control, 12 ppm and 24 ppm). Different genotypes of pea plants were grown in pots filled with aluminium treated soil. In polyhouse, screening was carried out using growth characters, root tolerance index ...

An investigation on screening of ridge gourd [Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb.] genotypes against leaf miner, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) and fruit fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett) was undertaken during the year 2012-2013 at the Department of Horticulture Entomology K.R.C.C.H., Arabhavi, Karnataka. The level of leaf miner and fruit fly infestations was varie...

The Collected data were analyzed statisticall and means were adjudged at 5% level of probability. ANOVA for different yield contributing and some qualitative characters showed a high degree of variation among the genotypes used. It was further revealed that in general, high yielding genotypes showed superior performance in result of biochemical and yield contributi...

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is most important root crop worldwide nutritionally and as a protective food, because it is a rich source of ß-carotene, fiber and other dietary nutrients. The investigation on “Seasonal response of carrot (Daucus carota L.) genotypes for yield and quality parameters” was carried out in the field of Vegetable Science, Kittur Rani Chann...
