Effect of Intervarietal Crosses on Seed Setting of Gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrida L.) under southern Rajasthan
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: Thirty-five intervarietal crosses of gladiolus were tested separately in RBD, each with 3 replication in the ACRIP Floriculture, Department of Horticulture, RCA, Horticulture farm Udaipur from 2019-20.The objective of the study was to find the potentially of seed set in different crosses.Under intervarietal crosses, high capsule set per spike resulted in 'H 11 -GS-2 × Arka Amar (5.42), H 12 -GS-2 × Priscella (5.35), H 1 -Anglia × Priscella (5.16), H 13 -GS-2 × Punjab Beauty (5.14), H 9 -Chandani × Punjab Beauty (5.10), H 24 -Pusa Gunjan × Arka Kesar (5.10) and H 25 -Pusa Gunjan × Arka Pratham (5.00) per spike., but 'H 3 -Arka Amar × Arka Kesar (1.34), H 18 -Punjab Beauty × GS-2 (1.40) and H 33 -Pusa Subham × Nathan Red (1.50) produced the lowest capsule set per spike.'H 13 -GS-2 × Punjab Beauty' resulted the highest weight of capsule per spike (70.22 g) followed by 'H 11 -GS-2 × Arka Amar' (61.75g).While the lowest in cross 'H 3 -Chandani × Arka Amar' (13.91 g).'H 25 Pusa Gunjan × Arka Pratham' produced maximum number of seed per capsule (55.00) followed by 'H 11 -GS-2 × Arka Amar' (54.00).While 'H 3 -Arka Amar × Arka Kesar' the poor seed setting (9.00).The maximum number of seed set per spike in 'H 11 -GS-2 × Arka Amar' (298.10)followed by the cross H 24 -Pusa Gunjan × Arka Kesar (239.70),whereas lowest number of seed set per spike in 'H 3 -Arka Amar × Arka Kesar' (12.06).'H 25 -Pusa Gunjan × Arka Pratham' gave highest seed weight per capsule (2.10 g), while lowest in 'H 30 Pusa Kiran × Punjab Beauty (0.30)'.'H 25 -Pusa Gunjan × Arka Pratham' produced highest seed weight per spike (10.6 g) followed by 'H 11 -GS-2 × Arka Amar' (8.8 g) and 'H 18 -Punjab Beauty × GS-2' produced lowest seed weight per spike (0.9 g)
