Abstract:
The present study was undertaken during 2021-22 in the All India Coordinated Research Project on Palms, S.G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Bastar, Chhattisgarh. The results for variability in the growth characters revealed the maximum plant height in accession 610323 (270.2 cm) and plant girth in accession 610327 (135.1 cm). With regard to the petiole length the maximum length was observed in accession 610325 (133.5 cm) which was at par with the accessions 610323 (132.5 cm), 610324 (130.1 cm) and 610326 (128.3 cm). However; the total leaf length was the maximum in accession 610324 (352.2 cm). With regard to the insect incidence the accession 610328 (3.2) recorded the maximum rhinoceros beetle incidence (%) whereas the red palm weevil incidence (%) was the highest in accession 610325 (9.3). The rugose spiriling whitefly incidence and intensity were the maximum in accession 610327 (36.1 and 21.8% respectively).
