Growth analysis and partitioning study of different promising lentil varieties under coastal saline zone of West Bengal


Author(s): Pragun Pal, Bishal Mukherjee and Saumi Goswami

Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to performance of different lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) varieties under saline soil of South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal during rabi season of 2021-2022 and 2022-23 at Instructional Farm, School of Agriculture and allied Sciences, The Neotia University, Jhinga, Sarisha, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal in saline soil. Three important physiological growth analysis parameter were measured namely Average Growth Rate (AGR), Crop Growth Rate (CGR), Relative Growth Rate (RGR). Along with that dry matter partitioning were also measured by measuring Leaf Weight Ratio (LWR), Stem Weight Ratio (SWR) and Root Weight Ratio (RWR). In AGR, RGR and CGR, at 80 DAS, the values reduced considerably in all the varieties. Among the varieties, Maitree, Subrata, BM 8 shown good growth rate. The reduction trend of 80 DAS was not same with 50 DAS. In dry matter portioning, Subrata shown highest stem weight ratio (SWR) and root weight ratio (RWR) in most of the cases whereas, Precoz, Maitree, Hul 57 had comparatively lower value of SWR and RWR. In case of LWR, Precoz and BM 8 reported comparatively higher values. In RWR, the value decreased in second season in both 50 and 80 DAS whereas, in SWR reverse trend is being observed. In LWR, in 50 DAS, the value decreased in second year whereas, reverse trend observed in 80 DAS.
