Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the “Student Research Farm”, College of Horticulture, Dr. Y.S.R. Horticultural University, Mojerla, Mahabubnagar, Telangna state during kharif, 2014 in a Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications and fifteen cultivars of seed guar. The results revealed that the analysis of variance indicated highly significant differences for all the growth characters among all cultivars. Among the cultivars studied RGC 936, RGC 963, JG-2 recorded maximum percentage of germination. RGC 936, RGC963, HG 884 recorded maximum number of primary branches. RGC 936 recorded maximum number of leaves per plant while RGC 1002, RGC 1066, HG 365 were found to be early in terms of days to first flowering and RGC 936, RGC 1066 were early in the terms of days to 50% flowering. RGC 963 produced the maximum number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant. The cultivar RGC 197 produced the maximum plant height at harvest, number of pods per cluster. Among the cultivars JG-2 recorded maximum pod length and HG 365 recorded maximum pod girth. Hence these cultivars may be further tested in different locations for their stable performance and thereafter may be selected as parental source for future breeding programmes.
