| dc.description.abstract | Non availability of suitable cultivars is the major bottle neck in Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- gracum L.) cultivation and improvement in the plateau region of Bihar. To find out the suitable genotype for this plateau region of the basis of yield performance variability an correlation studies the present experiment was designed in the vegetable Research section of the Department of Horticulture, B.A U., Kanke Ranchi during the Rabi season of 1994-95. Among the twelve fenugreek genotypes tested, CF-390 produced the highest yield (21.89q/ha followed by UM-143 (21.09q/ha), Um-144 (18.28q/ha), J. Fenu -148 (18.09q/ha) and Ranchi local-II (17.21 q/ha. The lowest yield was observed in the genotype Kasuri methi (10.48q/ha). A wide range of phenotypic variability was noticed for the character viz. days to maturity yield per plot height of plant days to fruiting days to flower initiation. The maximum value of coefficient of variation was in weight of roots (20.56) and the minimum was in days to maturity (1.12). Higher phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation were observed for number of pods per plants (168.79 and 168.57) ,thousand seeds weight (31.18 and 31.07), number of seeds per pod (28.00 and 26.22) and yield per plant (23.12 and 18.1). The estimate of heritability (in broad sense) was highest in number of pods per plant (99.74%), followed by thousand seeds weight (99.27%) and lowest for plant girth (13.04%).The genetic advance was highest for number of pods per plant 9346.70) followed by 1000 seeds weight (63.76).Genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation indicated that phenotypic coefficient of variations were higher than genotypic coefficient of variation which were of comparable magnitude. Association analysis revealed that yield of fenugreek positively and significantly correlates with plant height (0.706*), pod length (0.685*) seeds per pod (0.687*) Considering yield performance variability and association studies the genotypic , Cf -390 and Um-143 may be recommended for cultivation in this plateau region. | |
