| Abstract: | A field trial of 20 seed sources of Asparagus racemosus was conducted at the Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India to evaluate their performance of different economic
traits. Genotypic variance, phenotypic variance, genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variance
(PCV) for number of shoots, shoot height, shoot weight, number of roots, root length, root diameter and root weight were calculated.
Maximum genotypic and phenotypic variance was observed in shoot height among the shoot — related traits and root length among
the root — related traits. For the shoot height, genotypic variance, phenotypic variance, genotypic coefficient of variance,
phenotypic coefficient of variance were 231.80, 3924.80, 61.26 and 1037.32, respectively, where those of the root length were
9.55, 16.80, 23.46 and 41.27, respectively. The maximum genetic advance and genetic gain were obtained for shoot height among
the shoot-related traits and root length among the root-related traits. Index values were developed for all the seed sources
based on the four most important traits, and Panthnagar (Uttrakhand), Jodhpur (Rajasthan), Dehradun (Uttarakhand), Chandigarh
(Punjab), Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) and Solan (Himachal Pradesh), were promising seed sources for root production. |
