Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
Study was carried out to find out the extent of variability, among the available khirni germplasm at Main Garden Department of Horticulture, Dr. PDKV and Akola. Thirty one genotypes of seedling origin were selected for study. The results revealed the significant variation, among the genotypes. The tree height varied from 3.8m to 15.4m. The tree spread in East-West and North-South direction, ranged from 4.4m to 10.3m and 4m to 11.8m, respectively. Three types of tree habit i. e. Upright, Spreading and Drooping and two types of branching habit i. e. In whorls and Irregularity were observed. The maximum leaf area was 52.08cm2 and minimum leaf area was 24.17cm2. The flowering time varied from first week of October to third week of November. Fascicle length found in between 0.57cm to 3.03cm and number of flowers per fascicle, ranged from 9.00 to 26.67.
