Author(s): AP Garde, BM Kalalbandi and SB Ingle
Abstract: The higher values of yield attributes viz., fresh weight of whole plant, fresh weight of shoot, fresh weight of root, yield per plot (2.60 Kg) and yield (7.14 t/ha) was recorded under polyhouse condition as compared to open field conditions. Among, the leafy vegetables amaranthus recorded higher values of yield attributes and yield. The vegetables produced under polyhouse condition have recorded the higher values of the quality parameters, viz., vitamin A (7880 IU/100 g), vitamin C (84.15 mg/100 g), calcium content (324.15 mg/100 g), iron content (5.73 mg/100 g), total chlorophyll content (38.90 SPAD value), shelf life (4.67 and 11.25 days at ambient and refrigerator storage) and less PLW (45.85 and 14.76% at ambient and refrigerator storage) as compared to vegetables produced under open field conditions. Among, the leafy vegetables beet leaf recorded higher vitamin A (9343 IU/100g) and iron content (15.00 mg/100 g). The higher vitamin C (133.31 mg/100 g) and shelf life (5.01 and 10.49 days at ambient and refrigerator storage respectively) and lees PLW (48.14 and 13.59% at ambient and refrigerator storage, respectively) was observed in coriander. The fenugreek produced under polyhouse recorded high calcium content (382.66 mg/100 g) and total chlorophyll content (48.48 SPAD value).
