Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate yield response of redgram varieties in alfisols of scarce rainfall zone under rainfed conditions for three consecutive years during kharif, 2013-14 and 2014 -15 at Agricultural Research Station, Ananthapuramu of Andhra Pradesh. Number of pods plant^-1 was significantly influenced by varieties. Variety WRG 53 registered more number of pods plant^-1 which was however comparable with PRG 158 and LRG 30 and significantly superior over other varieties tested. Among the varieties tested, WRG 53 recorded highest seed yield (353 Kg ha^-1) which in turn on par with PRG 158 (330 kg ha^-1) and PRG 100 (304 kg ha^-1) significantly superior to other tested varieties. Number of seeds per pod, seed yield and harvest index were positively and significantly correlated with number of pods per plant.
