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.enAGRICULTURE, HORTICULTURESTUDYThesis
