Abstract
and shoot weight (112.0 g and 235.28 g, respectively) and
root girth (12.18 cm) while these were minimum in Japanese
White. Pusa Rashmi was intermediate in most growth
attributes. Pusa Rashmi recorded the highest marketable
yield (513.04 q/ha) while it was lowest (394.43 q/ha) in
Desi (Local). Japanese White (492.43 q/ha) was at par with
Pusa Rashmi in this respect.
Japanese White recorded the highest T.S.S. (4.33
per cent) and scored minimum pithiness (3.75) followed by
Pusa Rashmi (4.18 per cent and 4.03 per cent, respectively).
The highest marketable yield (636.35 q/ha) was
obtained in Desi (Local) and Pusa Rashmi (611.38 q/ha) sown
on 16th October and both were at par. Maximum premature
bolted plants (93.53 per cent) wc observed in Desi (Local)
sown on 5th November, while Japanese White recorded minimum
premature bolted plants (15.43 per cent) on the same date of
planting.
The studies suggested that the cultivar Japanese
White and Pusa Rashmi could successfully be sown from the
|7th August to 25th November for getting high marketable
yield consistently. For 16th October sowing, Pusa Rashmi and
Desi (Local) while for 5th November sowing Japanese White
could be suggested for the middle Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone.
