Abstract
The present study was carried out in the Department of Horticulture UAS GKVK, Bangalore during December 2009 to April 2010. Eight varieties (Vi:DWR-162, V2:DWR-195, V3:DWR-185, V4:DWR 1006,Vs-UAS-415,V6-DWR-2006, V7-Bejga yellow, Vs-Local variety) and different media Mi-vermiculite, M2-perlite, M3-cocopeat, M4- cocopeat+ vermiculite+ perlite, Ms-red soil +sand + vermicompost, M6-sand were evaluated with reference to growth an d quality parameters. Out of the different media, maximum germination(87.46%), plan t height (9.57 cm, 10.58 cm, 12.29 cm) a t 5th,7th, an d 10th DAS respectively, was recorded in M3. Whereas, quality parameters like chlorophyll, carotene, TSS, ascorbic acid, protein, crude fibre, fat, ash, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron content was found to be maximum in M3 when compared to control M6. In case of varieties, plan t height a t 5th, 7th, an d 10th DAS was maximum in V7 of Triticum durum. Fresh and dry weight of grass was maximum in V3 of Triticum durum. However, quality parameters like chlorophyll, (3-carotene was high in V3 of Triticum durum. While on fresh and dry weight basis, crude fibre, fat, sodium, an d iron was maximum in V6 of Triticum durum. Whereas, a shand calcium content was maximum in V3 of Triticum durum. However, maximum potassium and magnesium co n ten t was recorded in Vs and V4 respectively. Media and varietal interaction, showed that plan theight was maximum in M3V7 a t 5th, 7th, an d 10th DAS. While fresh and dry weight of grass was maximum in M3V3. However, M3V6 recorded maximum chlorophyll, [3- carotene, ascorbic acid, TSS when compared to control. On fresh and dry weight b a sis protein, crude fibre, fat, ash, calcium, sodium, iron co n ten t was maximum in M3V6. While potassium and magnesium co n ten t were maximum in M3V5 an d M3V4 respectively. The maximum netreturns and benefit: cost ratio was obtained in M3V3. Hence it can be concluded that cocopeat is ideal for growing Triticum durum varieties viz V3 (DWR-185) an d V6 (DWR-2006) for wheat grass production.
