Abstract
The present studies on "Evaluation of newly developed
CGMS based pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.)Millsp.) hybrids for
physiological parameters" involved the study on growth and development
characters, phonological development, biochemical character, yield and
yield contributing characters. The material used were ten pigeon pea
hybrids and two checks (BSMR -736, GTH (C) 1). The experiment was
conducted in a randomized block design with three replications.
The checks BSMR -736 showed better performance for all the
characters than all other hybrids and checks. These studies indicated that
among all genotypes check BSMR-736 performed better than all other
hybrids and checks during the peak growth period. It was also seen that the
pigeon pea genotypes with higher total dry matter content, number of pods
per plant, number of seeds per pod, test weight, more harvest index, leaf
area and LAI showed better performance with regard to yield.
