1. Effect of plant spacing and Deepak Dr. R.K.
It may be concluded from
varieties on growth, yield the findings of the present study Dhakad Sharma
and quality of radish that among the different varieties of
(Raphanus sativus L.) radish, variety V2 (Kashi Hans)
recorded superior performance of
growth attributes, yield attributes
and quality attributes. Among the
plant spacing, wider spacing (30 x
20 cm) showed highest growth,
yield and quality attributes of
radish. Though the root weight (g)
per plant was significantly higher in
wider spacing (30 x 20 cm), but the
closer spacing (30 x 10 cm)
significantly higher root yield
(q/ha).
2. Studies on Genetic From the findings of the Nithin Dr. S. S.
Variability, Correlation present experiment it may be Reddy K Kushwah
and Path Analysis in concluded that a wide range of
Brinjal (Solanum variability was present in genotypes
melongena L.) for all the traits. The variation was
highest for fruit yield per plant
followed by fruit yield per hectare,
fruit weight, number of flowers per
plant, plant height at final harvest,
pulp to seed ratio, days to first
harvest. High PCV and GCV was
observed for average fruit weight,
number of fruits per plants, fruit
length, number of flowers per plant
and fruit girth indicating greater
diversity for these traits and their
further improvement through
selection.
Moderate to high heritability
with high genetic advance over
mean was observed for fruit weight,
number of fruits per plant, fruit
length, fruit girth, number of
flowers per plant, fruit yield per
plant, fruit yield per hectare, pulp to
seed ratio, number of secondary
branches at 30 and 60 DAT,
number of primary branches at 90
DAT and at final harvest and plant
height at final harvest under field
condition. Thus, there is an ample
scope for development of elite
genotypes using these characters.
Correlation studies in eleven
different traits for fruit yield per
plant revealed a highly significant
and positive correlation with the
plant height at final harvest, number
of primary branches at final harvest,
number of secondary branches at
final harvest, number of flowers per
plant, days to first flowering, days
to first harvest, number of fruits per
plant, fruit length, fruit girth and
fruit weight.
The traits like number of
fruits per plant, fruit girth and fruit
length had shown maximum
positive direct effect on fruit yield
per plant. Thus, these characters
accounted to have for improvement
in increased fruit yield. Further, the
traits like days to first harvest and
number of primary branches had
 shown maximum negative direct
effect on fruit yield per plant.
The best genotypes identified
in the present study based on mean
yield performance under field
condition are Erangere local,
Kudchi local, Cari-1, Haritha,
Mallapur local, Arka Anand and
Devanur local.
The highest number of fruits
per plant was recorded in genotype
Swetha followed by, Devanur
Local, Co-2, Kudchi Local, Utkal
Anushree and Pusa Purple Long.
Among twenty six genotypes Cari-
1, IC 466277, Coorg Local, Kashi
Prakash and Hiriyur Local are the
ones that showed highest mean fruit
weight.
3. Study on genetic The following conclusions Sharanappa Dr. S. S.
variability, heritability and are drawn based on the results Devappa Kushwah
correlation in sponge which are obtained from the current Annigeri
gourd (Luffa cylindrica L.) investigation;
1. From the present investigation,
the analysis of variance
indicated that extensive
variability was present among
the sponge gourd genotypes for
majority of the characters
indicating possibilities of
additional hereditary
improvement in sponge gourd.
2. For all the traits studied, the
phenotypic coefficients of
variation were higher than the
genotypic coefficients of
variation indicating
environmental effect on
expression of the traits.

4. Effect of varieties and date
of sowing on growth, yield
and quality of carrot
(Daucus carota L.)
Number of node of first female
flowering registered the highest
phenotypic and genotypic
coefficients of variation.
3. Number of leaves per vine at
90 DAS had recorded highest
heritability coupled with
highest genetic advance among
all the traits.
4. Number of fruits per vine, node
at first female flowering,
average fruit yield per hectare
had shown highest positive and
highly significant correlation.
5. Number of fruits per vine, node
at first female flowering
showed maximum positive
direct effect on fruit yield per
plant.
6. Genotype Annigeri Local has
performed better which is
having highest fruit yield per
plant, average fruit yield per
hectare and number of fruits
per vine followed by Byadagi
Local, MSG-2, Nadahalli Local
and PSK-1 among the sponge
gourd genotypes.
On the basis of present experiment, Kaveri BR Dr. R. K.
Sharma
it may be concluded that variety V2
(Pusa Rudhira) recorded
significantly higher growth, yield
and quality parameter as compare to
other varieties. Among different
date of sowing, D3 (20th September)
registered highest growth and yield
as well as quality parameters.
Though combined effect of
varieties and different date of
sowing was non significant with all
 the characters. However,
numerically treatment combination
V2D3 showed superior performance
for growth, yield and quality
parameters.
