Abstract

Sixteen cluster bean varieties were evaluated under rainfed conditions at Agricultural Research Station, Keshwana, Jalore (Rajasthan). Year wise average seed yield ranged between 5.90 q/ha and 15.89 q/ha; however, variety wise it varied between 5.46 q/ha to 18.22 q/ha with the average of 10.31 q/ha. One thousand seed weight among varieties ranged between 26.97g and 30.03 g with the average of 29.13 g. The maximum seed yield has been provided by RGC-1033. Other varieties performed above average are RGM-112, RGM-1003, RGM-1038, RGM-1055, HG-563, RGM-1017, RGM-1002, RGM-936 and RGM-1066 with the seed yield of 16.59, 12.36, 12.07, 12.03, 11.93, 11.79, 11.40, 11.38 and 10.38 q/ha, respectively. All these high yielding varieties of cluster bean appear suitable for cultivation in arid Rajasthan.
