Okra fruit is an excellent source of iodine which is necessary for the resistance against throat disease like goiter Chavan et al., (2007). Among the various factors affecting the growth and quality of okra, supply of balanced nutrition is very important. It is well reported that the growth and development of a plant, generally, depends on their judicious feeding and right time of application. Continuous application of imbalanced and excessive nutrients had led to decline in

Methods: Twenty-eight cross combinations were generated using half-diallel mating design with eight parental lines. The mean values of seed yield and its contributing traits of parental lines and their offspring for each replication were used for statistical analysis viz., GCA, SCA and Heterosis. Result: The GCA and SCA were significant and indicating the presence of both additive and non-additive types of gene actions. AP-3, VL-7, Kashi_Nandini and PC-531 were identified as promising parents due to significant GCA effects on seed yield and other traits. Among the crosses Kashi_Nandini ï‚´ PC-531, VL-7 ï‚´ PMR-53, Arkel ï‚´ Vl-7 and VL-7 ï‚´ Kashi_uday hybrids were the most promising, with significantly higher SCA effects for seed yield and yield related traits. Seed yield showed significantly high heterosis ranged from-2.00% to 8.77 % (AP-3 ï‚´ PC-531 and Arkel ï‚´ PMR-53, respectively) and relative heterosis ranged from-0.75% to 14.10% (Kashi_uday ï‚´ PC-531 and Arkel ï‚´ PMR-53 respectively) significantly exhibited positive heterosis for seed yield over better parent and mid-parent.

The clustering pattern showed that geographical diversity wasn't related to genetic diversity. The analysis of % contribution of assorted characters toward the expression of total genetic divergence showed that the Days to 50% flowering (14.48%) followed Days of fruit set (12.95%), Vine length (m) (11.67%), Number of fruits per plant (10.93%), Number of the primary branches (10.37%), Days to first fruit harvest (10.16%), Average fruit weight (g) (9.44%), Fruit diameter (cm) (6.63%) contributed maximum towards total genetic divergence. Based on the maximum genetic distanc...

The result showed high phenotypic and genotypic co-efficient of variation for traits like plant height (GCV = 27.62; PCV = 27.65). High heritability values were obtained all the characters. In high heritability coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean was observed plant height (56.84%), number of pods per plant (43.73 %), length of first fruiting node (43.44 %), pod yield per plant (38.62 %), pod yield q/ha (38.61 %), days to 50% flowering (33.25 %) and number of seeds per pod (24.28 %), This indicated substantial of additive genetic variance in expression of these characters and can be useful in hybridization and selection for higher pod yield.

Leafy vegetables crops are one group of vegetable crops which used mainly for their leaves whether eaten raw or cooked. They provide adequate amount of dietary fibres, minerals, vitamins and other nutrients to people in developing countries. They also contain an immense variety of bioactive non-nutritive health promoting compounds such as antioxidants and phytochemicals, which provide health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These are highly essential for developing resistance by allowing the immune system to function in a systematic manner.

The study was carried out at Horticulture Research centre (HRC) of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut, UP during 2016-17.The experimental material comprised of 20 table pea germplasm and laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications to determine the association of yield and its components. The association was analyzed by correlation coefficient, and further subjected by path coefficient analysis to estimate direct and indirect effects of each character on pod yield. Five competitive plants from each plot were randomly selected for recording observations for all the quantitative characters except days to 50 per cent flowering and days to maturity, which were recorded on plot basis. In present study a strong and positive association of seed yield per plant observed with Days to 50% flowering, Number of first fruiting node, Length ...

A wide range of variation in the performance of the varieties were observed for various characters. The minimum days to flower bud initiation (43.53 days) and minimum days for flowering (69.53 days) was observed in the cultivar of Ajay while cultivar White Star produced larger size flower (9.97 cm). The maximum flowering duration (57.53 days) was observed with the cultivar of Haldighati and maximum plant height at flower bud initiation stage (28.27 cm) and plant height at full bloom (57.53 cm) was observed with the cultivar of Sunny. Cultivar of Basanthi produced maximum number of primary branches (7.93), plant spread (70.73 cm) and maximum number of flowers. On the basis of present studies genotypes n...

Correlation coefficient result showed that seed yield per plant have highly significant and positive correlation with number of pods per plant (0.821, 0. 818), length of first fruiting node (0.587, 0.585), number of seeds per pod (0.547, 0.517), days to 50% flowering (0.467, 0.464), plant height (0.447, 0.447), width of pod (0.387, 0.284), length of pod (0.375, 0.363) and number of first fruiting node (0.353, 0.349). Path coefficient result showed that the highest positive direct effect on seed yield per plant was exhibited by several pods per plant, several seeds per pod and days to 50% flowering at both genotypic and phenotypic level.

Therefore, it is necessary to screen for resistant sources and introduce the resistant gene into cultivars. So, for marker-assisted pea breeding, rapid screening of pea germplasm for powdery mildew resistance is required. Methods: A total of twenty-eight pea lines were generated using half-diallel mating design with eight pea lines (AP-3, Kashi Nandini, Arkel, VL-7, PMR-53, Kashi Uday, PC-531and AP-1). These hybrids and parental lines were screened for powdery mildew resistance phenotypically by PDI and genotypically by SSR and SCAR markers. Result: Based on screening for powdery mildew resistance, the genotypes PMR-53, Kashi Nandini, Kashi Uday, VL-7, AP-1 and hybrids Kashi Nandini x VL-7, Kashi Nandini x PMR-53, Kashi Nandini x Kashi Uday, Kashi Nandini x AP-1, VL-7 x PMR-53, VL-7 x Kashi Uday, VL-7 x AP-1, PMR-53 x Kashi Uday, PMR-53 x A...
