Abstract:
Field experimentation was conducted during rabi 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha) and available K (232.5 kg/ha). The treatments which are URM-1, URM-2, URM-3, URM-4, URM-5, URM-6, URM-7 and URM-8 hybrids were used. The research was laid out in randomized Block Design with eight treatments each replicated three times. In that study maximum plant height (247.23 cm), plant dry weight (38.97 g/plant), crop growth rate (2.33 g/m²/day), relative growth rate (0.02g/g/day), length of siliquae (5.40 cm), no. of siliquae per plant (508.80), no. of grains per siliquae (13.60), test weight (5.80 g), seed size (2.20 mm), seed yield (2356.67 kg/ha), stover yield (3523.33 kg/ha) and harvest index (40.10%) were recorded with URM-1 hybrid.
