University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad

The University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad was established on October 1, 1986. The University has 5 Colleges, 27 Research Stations, 6 Agriculture Extension Education Centers, 6 Krishi Vigyan Kendras and ATIC. The University has its jurisdiction over 7 districts namely Bagalkot, Belgaum, Bijapur, Dharwad, Gadag, Haveri, and Uttar Kannada in northern Karnataka. Greater diversity exists in soil types, climate, topography cropping and farming situations. The jurisdiction includes dry-farming to heavy rainfall and irrigated area. Important crops of the region include sorghum, cotton, rice, pulses, chilli, sugarcane, groundnut, sunflower, wheat, safflower etc. The region is also known for many horticultural crops. Considerable progress has been registered in the field of education, research and extension from this University.

    EVALUATION AND GENETIC VARIABILITY STUDIES IN CHILLI GENOTYPES (Capsicum annuum L.)
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, DHARWAD, 2003) Bhadrannavar, Kashinath C; Hanamashetty, S I
    "Field investigation with 27 chilli accessions was undertaken to elicit information on evaluation, genetic variability, character association and path analysis at Department of Spices and Plantation Crops, Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi during 2002-2003. Hybrid 9646 and other varieties like GPC-80, 9639, Pusa Jwala, Arka Abir, HPCL-99-10 and Arka Lohit recorded higher dry chilli yield (9.71, 9.46, 9.44, 8.77, 8.18, 8.22, 7.31 q/ha, respectively). Analysis of variance revealed highly significant (P=0.01) differences among treatment for all twenty growth and yield characters in chilli genotypes. The values of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation were moderate for the characters like fresh red chilli yield (30.27% and 38.04%) and dry chilli yield (33.50% and 42.29%), harvest index (36.77% and 45.00%) indicating the existence of little variability in the germplasm evaluated. High heritability coupled with moderate genetic advance over mean were observed for fruit length (92.10% and 38.87%), pedicel length (91.20% and 40.65%), fresh fruit weight (90.40% and 61.89%), dry fruit weight (99.90% and 60.79%), number of seeds per fruit (84.50% and 42.94%), ascorbic acid (76.90% and 33.10%), indicating additive gene action for these traits. Therefore, selection for these traits would be gainful. Correlation studies revealed significant and positive association for dry chilli yield with per cent fruit set (0.436), secondary branches (0.492), number of fruits per plant (0.635), harvest index (0.722), dry fruit weight (0.597), fresh red chilli yield (0.894), suggesting possibility of simultaneous selection for these traits. Path analysis for dry chilli yield revealed that the direct selection on number of fruits per plant (1.382) and dry fruit weight (1.027) for dry chilli yield would be gainful as they had direct effect."
