Investigation was carried out on air layering in guava as influenced by growth regulators and Azospirillum was carried out in the Orchard, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar during 2013-14 aimed to find out suitable ischolar_main inducing treatment in mature shoot air-layers of guava cv. L-49. There were 14 treatment combinations with three replications laid out in Randomised Block Design. In general, both growth regulators viz., IBA, NAA alone and in combination with Azospirillum favoured ischolar_maining in air-layers. Among the different combinations, the layers which had received Azospirillum 37.5g + IBA (Indole butyric acid) 3000 ppm + NAA (Naphthalene acetic acid) 3000 ppm (T12) recorded significantly higher percentage (91.68%) of ischolar_maining with desirable ischolar_main characters such as higher number of primary and secondary ischolar_mains, longer length of primary ischolar_mains and higher girth of primary ischolar_mains. Next to this treatment, the other favorable treatments were IBA, 3000 ppm + NAA, 3000 ppm (T6), IBA, 2000 ppm (T1), Azospirillum37.5g + IBA, 4000 ppm (T8), Azospirillum37.5 g + IBA, 6000 ppm (T9), Azospirillum 37.5 g + IBA 2000 ppm + NAA 2000 ppm (T11). The use of medium concentration (3000 ppm) of both the growth regulators (IBA and NAA) with Azospirillum 37.5g was more effective as compared to either lower (2000 ppm) or higher (6000 pm) concentrations of IBA and NAA.

Investigation was carried out on air layering in guava as influenced by growth regulators and Azospirillum was carried out in the Orchard, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University, Annamalai Nagar during 2013-14, aimed to find out optimum concentration for maximum survival percentage in mature shoot air-layers of guava cv. L-49. There are 14 treatment combinations with three replications laid out in Randomised Block Design. With regard to survivability of ischolar_mained layers, maximum survival percentage (98.14%, 60 days after separation) was noted in the layers treated with Azospirillum 37.5g + IBA 3000 ppm + NAA 3000 ppm (T12).

Twenty five genotypes of okra collected from different districts of Tamil Nadu were evaluated to assess the variability, heritability, genetic advance. Morphological characters like days to first flowering, plant height, number of branches per plant, internodal length, node at first flowering, days to first fruit harvest, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, 1000 seed weight and yield per plant were studied. Analysis of variance revealed that there were significant differences among the genotypes studied for all the characters. In variability studies, among 25 genotypes AE 13 was identified as the best genotypes as it has recorded higher yield per plant followed by AE 7, AE 6 and AE21. Maximum phenotypic and genotypic co-efficient of variation (PCV and GCV) was found for yield per plant followed by plant height and number of fruits per plant. High heritability was recorded for all the characters except internodal length and fruit girth. Traits like plant height, number of branches per plant, node at first fruit, fruit length, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and yield per plant had high heritability along with high genetic gain which reveals the predominance of additive gene action on these characters.

Twenty F1 hybrids of bitter gourd in a diallel set involving five parents including reciprocals were evaluated to assess the extent of hybrid vigour in the yield contributing traits. Appreciable amount of heterosis was observed for all the characters under this study except node number of first female flower. The F1 hybrids P5 × P3 (Panruti local × VK-1 Priya), P4 × P2 (MC -13 × Arka Harit) and P2 × P1 (Arka Harit × CO-1) were observed best performing for yield and they showed 46.21, 29.31 and 14.30 per cent heterosis, respectively better parent Arka Harit (P2).

Combining ability effects were estimated for 8 characters viz., days to first flowering, plant height, number of branches per plant, fruit length, fruit girth, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit yield per plant through line x tester analysis comprising 21 hybrids produced by crossing 7 lines and 3 testers. Parents and hybrids differed significantly for GCA and SCA effects, respectively. The combining ability variance showed higher magnitude of SCA variance for all the characters indicating preponderance of non-additive (dominance) gene action. On the basis of GCA effects across nine characters, the genotype Sivagangai Local (L2) was the best combiner for number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant followed by Pudukottai Local (L1) and Arka Anamika (T2) among testers were found to be good combiners for fruit yield per plant. Hence, these parents may be used as one of the parent in okra hybrid programme. The hybrid (L4 × T2) Karaikudi Local × Arka Anamika was found to be most promising for fruit yield per plant on the basis of per se performance and SCA effect followed by (L2 × T3) Sivagangai Local × Punjab Padmini. The crosses showing high specific combining ability effects and per se performance for for fruit yield per plant suggesting that these hybrids may be exploit in further breeding programme.Keywords

Twenty diverse genotypes of cucumber collected from Tamil Nadu and Kerala regions were evaluated for morphological characters like days to first female flowering, node number of first female flower, vine length, number of secondary branches, days to fruit harvest, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit diameter, average fruit weight, number of fruits per plant, 1000 seed weight and yield per plant to estimate the variability, heritability, genetic advance. In variability studies, yield per vine was obtained highest mean value CS 6 genotype. Maximum phenotypic and genotypic co-efficient of variation (PCV and GCV) was for yield per plant followed by average fruit weight, fruit diameter and number of fruits per plant. High heritability was observed for all the characters except node number of first female flower. Genetic gain was maximum for yield per plant followed by average fruit weight, fruit diameter, number of fruits per plant, number of secondary branches, fruit length, fruit girth and 1000 seed weight.Keywords

A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of plant growth regulators on growth and yield of brinjal cv. ANNAMALAI. The growth regulators were applied in three different concentrations viz., NAA (25, 50 and 100 ppm), GA3 (50, 100 and 200 ppm) and ethrel (50, 100 and 200 ppm). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with ten treatments and three replications. The earliness in flowering, number of flowers, fruit set percentage, fruit length, fruit girth, fruit weight and yield per plant were registered in the plants sprayed with GA3 @ 50 ppm. The fruits obtained from the plants that were sprayed with GA3 @ 200 ppm also recorded highest total soluble solids and ascorbic acid content, which ultimately had better taste than the other treatments. Among the growth regulators tested, GA3 @ 50 ppm was found to produce best results in improving the growth and yield of brinjal cv. ANNAMALAI.Keywords
