The present investigation was conducted on forty genotypes of pearl-millet to estimate the nature and magnitude genetic variability, correlation path analysis for different yield their contributing traits. variance revealed significant variability among all traits studied. phenotypic coefficient variation (PCV) more than genotypic (GCV), which reflected influence environmental factors High PCV ...

Background: Selection of genotypically superior parents is most challenging task for the development potential hybrids. In conventional plant breeding, magnitude heterosis and inbreeding depression has been proved very effective in identifying vigorous parental combinations. Methods: The present investigation was carried out to study heterosis, residual forty sorghum crosses (F1s F2s) obtained ...

in order to study the effect of different nitrogen fertilizer rates and source-sink limitation treatments on yield and yield component of contrast rice (oryza sativa l.) cultivars, a field experiment was carried out in the rice research institute of iran-deputy of mazandaran (amol) during 2006. a split split experiment in the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 3 f...

Panicle caterpillars comprise an economically important insect pest complex of sorghum throughout the Great Plains of the United States, particularly in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The sorghum panicle caterpillar complex consists of larvae of two polyphagous lepidopteran species: the corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noc...

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of strip cropping and different weed control methods on the yield and yield structure of dent maize, narrow-leafed lupin and spring oat. A split-plot design with four replications was conducted in 2008-2010. The following factors were analysed in the experiment: I. Cultivation method – sole cropping and strip cropping; II. Weed control method ...

Isabgol is a medicinal plant known for its high-quality dietary fiber. The genetics and inheritance of economic characters, such as number of panicles, panicle length, seed yield, and swelling factor, were measured by diallel analysis of F(1) progenies from seven parents. The additive component of genetic variance was significant for days to flowering, plant height, branches/plant, peduncle len...

The present study consist of 29 rice genotypes including one check variety that were evaluated at Field Experimentation Centre the Department Genetics and Plant Breeding, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj U.P. to genetic variability, heritability, advance, correlation path coefficient for 13 quantitative characters. experiment ...

Increase in rice yield under excessive nitrogen (N) supply is negligible, hence it is necessaryto analyze the limiting factors via yield components. The present study was carried out during2014 and 2015 growing seasons in order to quantify the yield componenents of different typesof tiller at various N levels. Tillers were divided into three different types (superior, mediumand inferior) based ...

Harvest index is a measure of success in partitioning assimilated photosynthate. An improvement of harvest index means an increase in the economic portion of the plant. Our objective was to identify genetic markers associated with harvest index traits using 203 O. sativa accessions. The phenotyping for 14 traits was conducted in both temperate (Arkansas) and subtropical (Texas) climates and the...

Twenty-eight lines including 18 F1 plants, 9 parents, and one commercial were studied for estimation of genetic variability, heritability, advance at Agricultural Research Station, Kunaram. Analysis variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes all traits indicating presence a considerable amount variability yield its components, quality gall midge incidence. PCV values n...
