    (ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2016-07-05) Bajpai, Rohit Kumar; Yadav, G.C.
    The present investigation entitled “Studies on genetic variability for morpho-economical traits in tomato (Solanum lycopersicon (Mill.) Wettsd.)” was executed at Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad. during Rabi, 2014-2015, to assess variability, heritability and genetic advance for quantitative characters, to estimate correlation coefficients among the important economic traits, to find out the direct and indirect effect of yield components on yield by path coefficient analysis and to judge the genetic divergence in the available genotypes of tomato. Experimental material for the study consisted of 46 genotypes including 3 checks (DVRT-2, H-24, H-86). The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Each treatments consisted of 20 plants in two row, having spacing of 60 cm X 45 cm. Observations were recorded on thirteen quantitative characters viz. days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height (cm.), primary branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, days to first fruit harvest, average fruit weight (g.), fruit circumference (cm), pericarp thickness (cm), number of locules per plant, TSS (%), fruit length (cm), harvesting duration and fruit yield per plant (kg). The analysis of variance revealed that the mean sum of squares due to treatments was found highly significant for all the characters. The higher magnitude of coefficient of variation at phenotypic as well as genotypic levels was observed for number of locules per fruit and plant height (cm). While low GCV and PCV were observed for days to 50 per cent flowering and days to first fruit harvest. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance in per cent of mean was recorded for number of fruits per plant, plant height, primary branches per plant, fruit circumference and number of locules per fruit indicating that these traits were less influenced by environment. The most important trait yield per plant had exhibited highly significant and positive phenotypic correlation with number of fruits per plant, plant height (cm), primary branches per plant and fruit length (cm). The highest positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant was exerted by number of fruit per plant followed by average fruit weight (g), pericarp thickness (cm), plant height (cm), number of locules per fruit, fruit circumference (cm) and harvest duration (days).

    (ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya, 2016-06-16) Bhargava, Amit Kumar; Singh, V.B.
    The experiment of the present research work entitled “Efficiency of selection based on genetic variability, path coefficient and genetic divergence in ridge gourd [Luffa acutangula L. (Roxb.)]” was conducted during zaid 2015. In this experiment twenty nine germplasm were planted on 20th March, 2015 at Main Experiment Station, Department of Vegetable Science, at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.). The crop continued till 16th July 2015. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications. The material used in the experiment comprised of twenty two selected variable and pure germplasm of ridge gourd, including Pusa Nasdar a national check. The experimental data was compiled by taking the mean value of the 29 genotypes of ridge gourd for 13 yield and its components traits from all the three replications. Then it was subjected to the following statistical analyses; to evaluate mean performance, genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, correlation as well as path coefficient and genetic divergence for yield and its components traits. The results of present studies indicate top five varieties showed highest marketable fruit yield per plant was NDRG-9 followed by NDRG-5, NDRG-21, NDRG-1, NDRG-26. Besides, these germplasm also possessed average to high mean performance for most of the yield components. The data recorded on thirteen quantitative characters were subjected to analysis of variance to test the significance of difference among the genotypes. Analysis of variance showed that the mean square due to genotypes were highly significant for all the thirteen characters. The higher magnitude of coefficient of variation at genotypic as well as phenotypic levels were observed higher for node number to anthesis of first staminate flower followed by node number to anthesis first pistillate, marketable fruit yield per plant and average fruit diameter while days to first fruit harvest had lowest coefficients of variation. The presences of high heritability in broad sense were observed for character except node number to anthesis of first staminate flower. Moderate heritability and high genetic advance in per cent of mean was recorded for number of nodes per vine followed by average fruit length and marketable fruit yield per plant showing additive gene affect and very good response to selection for improving above yield and yield contributing traits. Number of fruits per plant showed highly significant positive correlation with marketable fruit yield per plant (kg) and days to first fruit harvest. Path coefficient analysis revealed days to first fruit harvest indicated highest positive direct effect on marketable fruit yield per plant followed by node number to anthesis of first staminate flower and number of fruit per plant. Twenty nine genotypes were grouped into 6 non-overlapping clusters. The different clusters showed considerable differences in intra-cluster group means for all the traits. Therefore, crosses between members of clusters having high cluster means for important characters coupled with high inter-cluster distances between them, are likely to be more useful. Major cluster III and VI in divergence analysis contained genotypes of heterogeneous origin, thereby, indicating no parallelism between genetic and geographic diversity. Therefore, crosses between members of clusters separated by high inter-cluster distance are likely to produces desirable heterotic F1(s) and segregates. The maximum intra-cluster distance was observed in case of cluster III followed by cluster II and the maximum inter-cluster distance was found between cluster IV to cluster VI followed by cluster IV to cluster V and cluster III to cluster VI. Genotypes of these diverse clusters can be used for producing heterotic F1 and desirable segregates.
