Physiological evaluation of pigeonpea genotypes for drought tolerance
Author(s): G Rama Rao and S Rajamani
Abstract: Field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017-2018 at RARS Lam Guntur to study the physiological evaluation of Pigeonpea genotypes for drought tolerance under rainfed conditions. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with seven pigeonpea genotypes and replicated thrice. The results revealed that significant differences were observed among the pigeonpea genotypes for plant height, Number of branches, Leaf area, dry matter production and partitioning leaf, stem, pod, total dry matter, SCMR, RWC, Chlorophyll a, b total chlorophyll, seed yield and yield components. Among the genotypes tested, LRG 160 recorded higher number of branches, Leaf area, dry matter production and partitioning in leaf, stem, seed and total dry matter, SCMR, RWC, chl. a, chl. b, Total chlorophyll, seed yield and yield components followed by LRG 52 where as lower values were recorded in LRG 151. Maximum seed yield was recorded in LRG 160 (1720kg/ha) followed by LRG 52 (1585 kg/ha) where as minimum seed yield was recorded in LRG 151 (1390 Kg/ha).
