YIELD PERFORMANCE OF Chlorophytum borivilianum SANT. & FERN AND ACCESSIONS IN MORINGA BASED AGROFORESTRY SYSTEM
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 10
Abstract
The field investigation on Chlorophytum borivilianum Sant. & Fernand germplasm for yield attributes and suitability in Agroforestry system was carried out at ASPEE College of Horticulture and Forestry, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during 2014-2015. For the study 10 accessions collected from different parts of India were evaluated. Significantly higher fresh weight of leaves (24.20 g/plant) and dry weight of leaves (5.58 g/plant) were noted in safed musli accession C2. Fresh weight of single tuber/finger (1.88 g) and dry weight of single tuber/finger (0.49 g) were higher in safed musli accession C4. Significantly higher tuber yield was observed in safed musli accession C5 (11.85 g/plant). The interaction effect of various land use systems and accessions of safed musli was found non-significant for all yield parameters under study in respective years of investigation. However, in pooled analysis fresh weight of single tuber and dry weight of single tuber were found significant. BCR was recorded maximum in safed musli accession C5 when it was grown in open condition (1:2.69) as well as under moringa based Agroforestry system (1:2.76).
