Abstract
The field experiment entitled “Evaluation of vegetable soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) genotypes for horticultural traits in eastern dry zone of Karnataka” was conducted during kharif, 2016-17 at College of Horticulture, UHS Campus, GKVK post, Bengaluru. The experiment was carried out in Randomised Complete Block Design with three replications. The 17 genotypes viz., COHBSBM-26, COHBSBM-8, IC 501197, COHBSBM-66, COHBSBM-49, COHBSBM-54, IC 25763, AGS 433, W-80, EC 24207, AGS 432, EC 95286, Karune (check), IC 501164, GC 99013-5, GC 110318 and EC 103153 were used. The research was conducted to identify the elite genotypes for growth, yield, quality and acceptability of genotypes as vegetable types. All the genotypes varied significantly with respect to growth, yield and quality attributes. Among the genotypes evaluated, genotype AGS 433 followed by AGS 432 and COHBSBM-54 were found superior with respect to growth and yield attributing traits after 60 days of sowing. Similarly, protein and total sugars per cent were found maximum in genotypes EC 95286 and COHBSBM-8 respectively. While, genotype Karune has recorded higher overall acceptability value followed by the genotypes AGS 433 and GC 110318 during sensory evaluation and hence suitable for the vegetable type. Correlation studies revealed that, traits like pod length, pod width, number of pods per cluster and number of clusters per plant had high positive significant correlation with pod yield per plant. In path-analysis, number of pods per cluster and number of leaves per plant were the most influenced traits on pod yield per plant after 60 days of sowing.
