Abstract:
An investigation with respect to studies on the performance of Barleria (Barleria cristata L.) genotypes for growth and yield parameters under North Karnataka condition was carried out during 2020-21 at the Department of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, College of Horticulture, UHS, Bagalkot. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with eleven treatments and three replications at 60 X 60 cm spacing under open field condition. Wide variation was observed among the genotypes for all morphological and yield traits. Among the eleven genotypes at 120 DAT, the genotype COHS-1 showed maximum plant height (72.27cm) and number of primary (9.23) and secondary branches (16.87), plant spread E-W (51.80 cm) was maximum in COHS-2, plant spread N-S was found to be maximum in COHS-4 (52.93 cm), number of leaves/plant (89.27) and chlorophyll content was maximum in COHS-2. Whereas, the genotype COHS-10 showed superior performance with respect to stem girth (13.12 mm). The leaf length (9.40 cm), leaf width (4.26 cm) and leaf area (22.84 cm2) was found to be maximum in the genotype COHS-12. The genotype COHS-1 showed maximum 100 flower weight (6.01g), flower yield per plant (25.53 g), flower yield per plot (306.34 g) and flower yield per hactare (709.17 kg). Among the genotypes evaluated COHS-1, COHS-4 and COHS-10 were found suitable to grow under North Karnataka condition based on growth and yield attributes.
