Abstract
During the Rabi season, the Department of Horticulture at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University Lucknow (U.P.) conducted research on the effect of different cuttings and varieties on the Horticulture Research Farm. The experiment was conducted in a FRBD design with 16 treatments and two factor varieties (V1 Chandrika, V2 Pusa Jyoti, V3 All Green, and V4 Palak Katadar) and treatment (C0 no cutting, C1 cutting 1, C2 cutting 2, and C3 cutting 3). We found that the effect of cutting on vegetative growth parameters, viz., plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, leaf petiole length, and germination percentage, is significant. We found that cutting C0 had a significant influence on the growth parameters (plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, and petiole length), with the minimum observed at C3, the maximum germination observed at C1 as compared to C2 treatment, and the least germination recorded at C0 treatment. While plant height, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, and germination percentage have a greater influence on Pusa jyoti (V2) than on All Green (V3), minimums are reported for Chandrika (V1).Find that combination V2C3 getting maximum green yield per unit area and per unit time.
