Parental selection for varietal improvement

Thirty five mungbean genotypes were evaluated to select superior parents with genetic diversity based on yield and physiological traits in order to develop high yielding varieties in mungbean. The results of multivariate analysis (D2 ) indicated the presence of considerable genetic divergence among these genotypes.

A field investigation as carried out with 35 genotypes of brinjal at Department of Vegetable Science, SKLTSHU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during Rabi, 2017-18. The RBD ANOVA revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the traits indicating the presence of sufficient variability in the experimental material. Selection of suitable parents is an important criterion for success of crop improvement program. Mean performance of germplasm under study showed that the IC-136148 recorded the highest plant height (104.19 cm), number of fruits per plant (26.

Although, India is the largest mango producing country in the world and also is the home of more than 1,000 mango cultivars but the productivity of mango in our country is low. Hence improvement work for the development of mango cultivars with higher yield and productivity is the utmost importance. For successful improvement work, proper identification of genetic resources or the parental materials is the basic need. Hence, the aim of study was to identify, characterize and recommend mango cultivars to broaden the varietal spectrum.
