Evaluation of chemo types diversity among Mucuna pruriens germplasm based on L-Dopa content of seeds and L-Dopa yield/ha
Author(s): Isha Thakur and Jai Kumar
Abstract: To screen out chemo types diversity in Mucuna pruriens germplasm, a systematic research trial was conducted at AICRP (M&APs) farm, Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi. Seeds of different Mucuna pruriens germplasm collected from three different places were grown in the experimental field under uniform cultural conditions in Randomized Block Design with twenty four treatments and four replications. Traits like L-Dopa content (%) of seeds and L-Dopa yield/ha were recorded for different Mucuna pruriens germplasm. L-Dopa content in seeds was recorded maximum in germplasm IIHR MP3 (4.44%) followed by DMAPR MP6 (4.28%) and DMAPR MP3 (3.98%) while minimum value of it was recorded for Ranchi MP1 (2.83%). L-Dopa yield per ha was recorded maximum in germplasm IIHR MP1 (221.91Kg) followed by IIHR MP7 (193.84Kg) and DMAPR MP5 (180.61Kg).
