Influence of Nipping and Hormonal Sprays on Growth and Seed Yield in Field Bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] Genotypes

Fourteen genotypes of Lablab bean were studied for sixteen yield and yield contributing characters. The experiment was conducted at Field Laboratory of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Seed yield per plant showed positive and significant correlation with days to maturity, number of raceme per plant, raceme length, pod length, green pod yield per plant, green test weight and shelling percentage and significant negative correlation with days to maturity, number of seeds per pod and protein content at both phenotypic and genotypic levels. Path analysis revealed that green pod length exhibited high positive direct effect on number of raceme per plant, raceme length, green pod width, dry test weight and shelling percentage. The direct negative effects on seed yield were observed by days to maturity, number of flower buds per raceme, green pod yield per plant, green test weight and protein content and revealed the importance of these traits for simultaneous selection of plant for yield improvement.

SummarySelf-pollinating and cross-pollinating by hand samples of flowers in field bean crops usually gave an increased set of seed compared with control flowers left to be pollinated naturally. Hence, insect pollination of field bean crops is often inadequate. In large fields of more than 12 ha the seed yield was greater by plants near the edge than near the centre. Fewer pods were produced from nodes at the upper than the lower parts of a stem, and they contained fewer seeds which were of a smaller size.

Background: Detection and quantification of variability among germplasm accessions/segregating populations/advance breeding lines is a pre-requisite (among others) for breeding crop plants for drought tolerance. Indices that integrate yield under moisture stress free (MSF) and moisture stress (MS) have been developed and used for screening and selection of moisture stress tolerant genotypes in several crops. The present study was aimed at identifying desirable indices from among those reported for screening and selection of terminal moisture stress (TMS) tolerant genotypes. Methods: Two experiments were conducted at experimental fields of Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, University of Agricultural Sciences Bengaluru during 2017 post rainy season. The first experiment consisted of 33 genotypes which included 31 selected genotypes from F3 populations and two released varieties. The second experiment consisted of 13 genotypes which included 5 advanced breeding lines, 2 released varieties and 6 land races. The genotypes of both the experiments were evaluated for dry seed yield under two moisture regimes (MR), namely, MSF and TMS environments in separate trials following Randomized Block Design. Conclusion: Based on the criterion of significant correlation of indices with dry seed yield under both MSF and TMS environments, two indices namely, mean productivity (MP) and geometric mean productivity (GMP) were found desirable to identify TMS tolerant genotypes of both the experiments. Based on rank mean of the two indices, two F3 selections and one released variety from first experiment; four landraces, one advanced breeding line and one released variety from second experiment were found TMS tolerant.
