Development of herbal drink from indian gooseberry and beetroot & Its Quality Evaluation

Abstract

The present investigation wasundertaken to collect information on geneticparameters for yield and its components from a fourteen parents Line x Tester mating design in mungbean at Crop Research Centre, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut (U.P.) during kharif 2021 and 2022. The experimental material was comprised of 14 diverse parents and their 40 F1s of a Line x Tester cross. All genotypes were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. The data were recorded on sixteen characters i.e.,days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of secondary branches, number of pod per plant, number of cluster per plant, number of pods per cluster, pod length, single pod weight, number of seeds per pod, biological yield per plant (g), total weight of pods (g), harvest index, 100- seed weight, seed yield per plant.The data were recorded subjected to various statistical analyses. Analysis of variance for parents and crosses recorded highly differed significantly for all the attributes namely, days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of secondary branches, number of pods per plant, number of clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, pod length, single pod weight, number of seeds per pod, biological yield per plant, total weight of pods, harvest index, 100- seed weight, seed yield per plant, while parent vs crosses hadhighly significant for all the characters, indicated that presence of wide differences among the parents andF1‟s hybrids.Estimate of average degree of dominance ( )0.5 was partial dominance in nature for plant height, number of branches per plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, Seed yield per plant suggesting the preponderance role of additive gene action. Overdominance was observed for days to 50%flowering, days to maturity, number of secondary branches, number of pods per plant, number of cluster per plant, number of pods per cluster, pod length, biological yield per plant, total weight of pods per plant and harvest index indicated the presence of non additive gene action; which is non fixable and the recurrent selection breeding method will be more appropriate.On the basis of overall performance both general combining ability effects and per se performance among the parents the line namely, IPM-99-123was identified as good general combiner for maximum 14 characters namely;days to 50% flowering, days to maturity,numberof branches per plant, numberof secondary branches, numberof pods per plant, numberof clusters per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod, pod length, biological yieldper plant, total weight of pods per plant, harvest index, 100 seed weight, seed yield per plant.Pusa-9531, as good general combiner for 12 characters namelydays to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height ,numberof branches per plant, number of secondary branches, number of pods per plant, number of cluster per plant, numberof pods per cluster, pod length, total weight of pods per plant, harvest index ,seed yield per plant.IPM-512-1,have high general combining ability for 11 characters. PDM-139 was the good combiner for eight yield attributing traits, wheras IPM-2-3showed as good combiner for seven yield attributing traits and seed yield per plant. IPM-2-14 and tester Kanika have good combining ability for about 5 and 6 characters respectively. These diversified parents may be handled in suitable breeding programme to incorporate the genetic potential to combine for production of desirable recombinants vis-à-vis other characters.Out of the 40 F1‟s, only three crosses IPM-2-3 X Versha, PDM-139 X Versha, IPM2-14 X Kanika showed significant and positive specific combining ability effects indicated that these combinations were found to be as good specific combiners for seed yield per plant. Considering overall performance of parents and crosses, higher magnitude of heterosis and per se performance exhibited significant and positive desirable heterosis over better parent manifested in cross combinations namely, IPM-99-123 X Vasudha, IPM-99-123 X IPM 2057, IPM512-1 X Vasudha, IPM 2-14 X Vasudha, Pusa -9531 X vasudha, IPM-2-3 X Vasudha, IPM-0219 X IPM2057.identified that great possibility of developing hybrid for commercial cultivation.
