ABSTRACT

The present investigation was under taken to study the ten genotypes of dolichos bean for yield and quality characters 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 qualitative as well as yield contributing characters viz., number of pods per vine, number of grains per pod, weight of ten pods (g), days required from pod setting to edible maturity, dry grain yield per plot, dry grain yield per hectare and per cent protein content in green as well as in dry grains. The variations among these ten genotypes were observed for all characters studied. Genotype RHRDBP-10 recorded the highest number of pods per vine (226.6).The genotype RHRDBP-5 was recorded significantly highest number of grains per pod (4.29), while the genotype RHRDBP-8 recorded significantly highest weight of 10 pods (56.76 g). The genotype RHRDBP-1 exhibited the minimum days required from fruit setting to edible maturity (11.33 days). The genotype RHRDBP-10 significantly recorded the highest dry grain yield per plot (1776.67 g) as well as recorded highest per hectare (47.36 q) followed by RHRDBP-9. The genotype HRDBP-5 showed the highest protein (21 %) content while it was least in RHRDBP- The genotypes viz., RHRDBP-10 and RHRDBP-9 were found better for higher yield. Key words: Dolichos bean, genotypes, quality and yield characters, protein
