Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted during rabi - 2020 at Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi, Belagavi district, Karnataka. Considering the requirement of locally adoptive superior type, cv. Kosi was subjected to irradiation using gamma rays. Nineteen advanced mutants of cv. Kosi along with two checks cv. Kosi and CIM Kranthi were selected from M2 generation and assessed for growth parameter and their superiority over the checks during M3 generation. Among all the mutants K20P33 recorded taller plant height at 45 and 60 DAP (19.00 and 32.53 cm respectively). The mutant K20P23 registered the maximum plant spread of about 31.88 cm and 33.57 cm at 45 and 60 DAP, respectively. More number of branches were recorded in mutant K20P33 at 45 DAP (8.20) and in K20P26 at 60 DAP (17.73). The research revealed that the gamma rays induced M3 mutants showed the increased plant height, plant spread and number of branches during early growth period.
