Abstract

A field experiment was conducted with twenty diverse genotypes (VRBG-1, VRBG-2, VRBG-8, VRBG-14, VRBG-18, VRBG-33, VRBG-36, VRBG-37, VRBG-40, VRBG-44, VRBG-48, VRBG-101, VRBG-110, NDBG-56, Pusa-Naveen, Pusa Summer Prolific Long (PSPL), PBOG-61, IC-42345, DVBG-2 and NDBG-58) in randomized block design with three replications. Analyzed data revealed that, among all the genotypes, VRBG-110, NDBG-56, VRBG-44, PBOG-61, Pusa Naveen and VRBG-40 gave promising results.
