Studies on Green POD Yield and Yield Contributing Characters of Dolichos Bean (Dolichos Lablab) Genotypes (Pawata Type) Under Western Maharashtra Conditions

Shete B. J. | M. R. Deshmukh

Abstract: The present investigation was under taken to study the genotypes of dolichos bean for yield and quality characters among ten genotypes of dolichos bean during early rabi season at All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops, Department of Horticulture, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Rahuri, Dist- Ahmednagar (M. S). The observation were recorded on green pod yield of as well as yield contributing characters viz. , number of flowers/ inflorescence, number of pods/inflorescence, pod setting ( %), pod length (cm), pod width (cm), green pod yield per plant (g), green pod yield per plot (kg) and green pod yield per hectare (q). The variations among ten genotypes were observed for the above studied characters. The genotype RHRDBP-3 recorded significantly highest number of flowers (21.18) as well as highest number of pods (9.03) per inflorescence. The genotype RHRDBP-5 was recorded the significantly highest pod setting percentage (50.77 %). The genotype RHRDBP-1 recorded significantly highest pod length (4.58 cm) than rest of the characters studied. The genotype RHRDBP-5 was recorded significantly highest pod width (1.75 cm) followed by the genotype RHRDBP-10 (1.74 cm) which was at par with the genotype RHRDBP-5. The genotype RHRDBP-10 significantly recorded the highest green pod yield (1274.4 g) per plant,
