Evaluation of Dolichos Genotypes (Dolichos lablab L.) under North Eastern Dry Zone of Karnataka

Nine genotypes of dolichos bean were assessed for performance at Main Agriculture Research Station, Raichur. The experiment was laid out by adopting Randomized Block Design with three replications. Highly significant differences were observed in the genotypes for all the characters under study viz., The plant height of dolichos bean genotypes differed significantly with each other at all the growth stages. At all the growth stages, PD-31 showed maximum height (108.87, 185.33 and 196.27cm, respectively). Pod yield per plant showed significant difference between genotypes. The number of pods per cluster. Maximum number of pods per cluster was observed in PD-31 (20.27). Pod yield per plant was maximum in PD-31 (3.27 kg) followed by PD-22 (3.18 kg) and PD-15 (3.10 kg), whereas, least pod yield per plant was recorded in PD-20 (2.39 kg).
