Abstract

A field investigation was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Darsi, Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh to find out the best suitable cultivar during two rabi seasons (rabi 2018-19 and rabi 2019-20). Ten cultivars of horse gram were evaluated for their different productivity and quality traits Among the various productive traits, it was found that HG 11 and AK 38 recorded superior performance and desirable productivity and quality traits. Keeping in view with the important productive traits viz., leaf length, plant height, primary branches, plant leaf length, plant height, primary branches plant-1, secondary branches plant-1, seeds pod-1, pod Hulm plant-1, seed yield plant-1 and 100 seed weight possessed by the genotypes, it can be utilized in future breeding programs. Since the number of varieties developed in horse gram is meager and the available variability among the genotypes for various characters is optimum, the breeder can use the potential genotypes which are having certain productive and desirable traits which in turn will act as a fuel for the creation of variability and allows the selection of genotypes for different agro-climatic situations.
