Abstract:
An experiment entitled “Evaluation of Grape raisin varieties for growth and yield parameters under northern dry zone of Karnataka” was conducted at Horticulture Research and Extension Centre, Vijayapur (Tidagundi), UHS Bagalkot (Karnataka) during the year 2020-21, with an objective to study the performance of different grape raisin varieties for growth and yield parameters. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with four treatments and five replications. The result revealed that among the different varieties evaluated, the minimum number of days taken to bud burst (9 days), highest number of matured canes per vine (49.20), fruitful canes per vine (43.20), highest leaf area (186.06 cm²) and maximum shoot length (76.42 cm) at 60 days after fore pruning was recorded in Thompson Seedless. The variety Manjari Kishmish took less number of days for harvesting (130.80 days). The performance with respect to yield pointed out that the variety Thompson Seedless recorded the maximum number of bunches per vine (54.20), bunch weight (313.40 g), bunch width (10.26 cm), raisin length (16.46 mm), raisin diameter (8.66 mm) and yield (16.84 kg/ vine). Whereas, the maximum bunch length was recorded in 2A-Clone (22.75 cm).
