ABSTRACT
Study Research Farm of Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Indore, (M.P.). The highest plant height was recorded in genotypes Agrifound white and Mahasuper red and which were at par with each other. Therefore, it was observed lowest in genotype Bhima shakti at all the growth stages. Genotypes Agrifound white, Mahasuper red, and N-2-4-1 were recorded in significantly maximum leaves per plant at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT and which were at par with each other. However, it was observed lowest in genotype Bhima shakti for the same. At 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT, the significantly maximum leaf length was recorded under the genotypes Agrifound white followed by Mahasuper red, N-2-4-1 and Bhima sweta and which were at par with each other. While, minimum leaf length was recorded in genotype Bhima shakti. In case of 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT, the dry weight per plant was significantly increased by the different genotypes. The Agrifound white was found significantly superior as compared to other genotypes. Highest dry weight per plant was recorded in genotype Agrifound white, followed by Mahasuper red and N-2-4-1. However, lowest dry weight per plant was noted under the genotype Bhima shakti at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT. Significantly lowest 0.42 bolting per cent were observed in genotype Agrifound white followed by Mahasuper red (0.96%) and N-2-4-1 (1.04%) as compared to other genotypes. Therefore, it was noted maximum 5.88 bolting per cent under the genotype Bhima shakti.
