Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to find out the best suitable varieties of Cowpea in Prayagraj Agro-climatic conditions in the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj (U.P.), during Kharif season of the year 2021. Fifteen genotypes including two check varieties are evaluated and the experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The observation were recorded on growth and pod yield traits. And the results revealed that among all the genotypes AVT II 2019/ COPBVAR -4 performed well in earliness parameters viz. Days to first flowering (30.33days) and Days to 50% flowering (35.33days). In terms of Pod Length maximum was recorded in PUSA BARSATI (31.07cm). Pod Diameter was maximum in AVT II 2019/COPBVAR-4 (7.94mm). Weight of 10 pods was maximum in KASHI KANCHAN (118.0 grams). And among all the genotypes AVT II 2019/COPBVAR-2 performed will in yield parameters viz. Yield per plant (177.13 grams) and yield per hectare (177.13 Quintals).
