Protected cultivation of vegetable crops was given a high priority and developed very rapidly during the past 15 years in India. Initially, vegetable cultivars commonly used for open field production were also started to grown under protected conditions. Despite various measures, many problems arose due to unfavorable ecological conditions in protected environments. Since the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, breeding of vegetable cultivars for protected conditions has been carried out by taking advantages of both conventional methods and biotechnological tools. One of the main research efforts include screening and evaluation of breeding materials for tolerance to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Another effort focused on the creation and development of new breeding materials (variety, cultivar or breeding line) for protected conditions by selection, introduction, crossing and biotechnological methods, including isolating from popular F genotypes, wide crosses, tissue and 1 cell culture, protoplast regeneration, gene transfer techniques, molecular marker assisted breeding and many other approaches. As most hydroponic cultivation and grafting tools are carried out inside the protected conditions, more cultivars adapted to this type of culture are also urgently needed.Keywords

The investigation was conducted during Kharif, 2020 at Research Farm of Research Sub Station Berthin, District Bilaspur, Himachal Pradeshin which 26 genotypes, collected within and outside the state were evaluated for yield and quality attributes in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RBD) with 3 replications. The promising genotypes identified based on mean performance for yield and quality attributes are LC-10 (collection from Baijnath of district Kangra, HP)was found best for highest total yield, cormel yield, cormel diameter, corm yield, number of cormels /plant, sugar and starch content (7 characters) followed by LC-15 (collection from Kolar of district Sirmour, HP)for total yield, cormel yield, cormel diameter, corm yield, crude protein and lowest oxalate content (6characters); LC-8 (collection form Gagret, Tehsil Amb of district Una, HP)recorded highest total yield, cormel yield, number of cormels /plant and total polyphenols (4 characters); LC-14(collection from Sarkaghat of district Mandi, HP) for total yield, cormelyield andnumber of cormels /plant (3 characters), LC-9 (collection from Village Bassi of district Mandi) for total yield, cormel yield and total polyphenols (3 characters). Based on the performance of these genotypes, they can be utilized as source of germplasm in colocasia improvement program under natural farming conditions.

The experimental material comprises eight parthenocarpic cucumber genotypes to study the comparative performance of these genotypes for yield and quality characteristics under protected environment. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications in spring-summer during 2020 at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Vegetable Science and Floriculture, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur. DDPCG1 and DDPCG4 are good performing genotypes for yield related characters taken under study. Among all genotypes, DDPCG1 had maximum fruit weight, number of fruits per plant and yield/plant. DDPCG4 took minimum days to first fruit picking and maximum harvest duration. Lowest nodal position of first female flower, maximum fruit diameter and vine length were noticed in DDPCG5. Forquality parameters, DDPCG5 had maximum pericarp thickness and TSS.Keywords

Lentil (Lens esculenta) is commonly known as masur and it is important pulse legume crop in India. Lentil has the ability to fix nitrogen and grow in marginal environments. The productivity of lentil is generally low in Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh, mainly due to lack of improved varieties and low technical knowhow. Therefore, the present study was conducted in the seventeen villages of district Bilaspur of Himachal Pradesh. Twenty five farmers’ fields were randomly selected and sown two high yielding improved varieties of lentil namely Vipasha and Markandey with one check variety already grown by the farmers. Among the varieties assessed, variety Vipasha proved to be the best with highest number of pods/plant (92.4) and minimum incidence of disease of 1.5 per cent resulting in the highest yield of 6.60 q/ha followed by Markandey with disease incidence of 2.1 per cent, 72.8 pods/plant and yield of 6.1 q/ ha. Hence, it was inferred that local variety must be replaced with Vipasha variety of lentil followed by Markandey.Keywords
