The present investigation was carried out during the rabi season 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Department of Vegetable Science Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology Kanpur U.P (208024) India. Experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with eleven treatments in replicated three times consist of two levels of each micronutrients and growth regulators with control i.e. T0 : Control, T1 : GA3 50ppm, T2 : GA3 100ppm, T3 : NAA 50ppm, T4 : NAA 100ppm, T5 : ZnSO4 0.5%, T6 : ZnSO4 1%, T7 : Boric acid 50ppm, T8 : Boric acid 100ppm, T9 : FeSO4 100ppm and T10: FeSO4 150ppm. Results revealed that there were significant differences between themicronutrients and PGR in tomato fruit quality. From the result it was observed that concentration of GA3 100ppm showed significant effect of fruit quality in tomato Azad-T6

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate 34 garlic genotypes for yield and its contributing traits in order to assess genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance during rabi 2019-20 at Vegetable Research Farm, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kalyanpur, Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh). Analysis of variance table revealed that the mean sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the traits. In general, estimates of phenotypic coefficients of variation (PCV) for all traits were slightly higher than their corresponding genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). Characters average weight of bulb and average weight of cloves per bulb showed the higher phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation among all the characters. Highest heritability was observed for equatorial diameter, clove length, leaf length, average weight of bulb, polar diameter, average weight of cloves per bulb, marketable bulb yield, number of cloves per bulb, width of cloves and number of leaves per plant. High heritability coupled with high genetic advance as percent of mean (GAM) was observed for average weight of bulb, average weight of cloves per bulb, number of cloves per bulb, marketable bulb yield and width of cloves indicating the presence of additive gene action for the expression of these traits.

The present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic diversityfor11 yield contributing traits among 50 genotypes of tomato (Solanum lycopersicom [Mill.] Wettsd.) during 2017 in Randomized Block Design with three replications. In this context maximum intra cluster distance was recorded within cluster III and inter cluster distance was recorded between cluster I to V III. Cluster III had maximum number of genotypes. Major cluster in divergence analysis contained genotypes of heterogeneous origin, thereby indicating no parallelism between genetic and geographic diversity. Therefore, crosses between members of clusters separated by high inter- cluster distance are likely to produces desirable segregates.

This study was conducted at Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (U.P.) during the rabi season of 2016 to 2017 to find out the optimum time of sowing and planting spacing for broccoli varieties as Palam Samridhi, Pusa Kanchan and Lufa F1 Hybrid. Seedlings were raised by sowing on three different dates viz. 20th October, 04 November and 19 November were transplanted at spacing viz. 45 cm x 45 cm. Economic return and biochemical traits of broccoli were significantly influenced by the treatments. In view of experimental results obtained during the present investigation, treatment T4 D2 V1 04 November + V1 Palam Samridhi emerged as superior over all other treatments, in relation to economic return, cost benefit ratio and biochemical traits of broccoli under the agro-climatic condition of Allahabad.
