Genotypic Correlation Coefficients among Growth, Yield and Quality Parameters in Bathua genotypes (Chenopodium album L.)

Evaluation of Growth Performance and Economic Return Analysis of Bathua (Chenopodium album) Genotypes

“…These differences happened maybe due to the number and weight of leaves. The results found from the present study were conformity with the findings of Basavaraj et al (2018); Buragohain et al (2013) and Hassan et al (2013).…”

“…The variation in the stem base diameter was due to the variation in the genotypes. This result is in agreement with Poonia and Upadhayay (2015) and Basavaraj et al (2018) who reported significant variations in yield among the bathua genotypes.…”

“…Three primary veins that stretch from the base of lower leaves are often less than 1.5 times wider than the leaf's width. (Arif et al, 2013;Basavaraj et al, 2018;Singh et al, 2020). Kurashinge and Agarwal (2005) worked on characterization of bathua accessions and reported significant variation among different bathua accessions for leaf length and recorded longest leaf (19.18 cm) and shortest leaf (10.3 cm).…”

“…The acreage and output of bathua in Bangladesh are quite small, and it is exclusively farmed locally and reportedly been observed growing naturally as a weed in fields of various crops, including wheat, barley, mustard, potato and gram (Bhattacharjee, 2001). Due to the lack of genotypes with high yields and insufficient or no systemic attention, the area and production of this crop have been constrained (Atikunnaher et al, 2017;Basavaraj et al, 2018;Yadav et al, 2013). Even the replacement of winter vegetable crop by irrigated rice cultivation is one of the major causes of the reduction of its production in the country (Hossain et al, 2017;Mainuddin et al, 2021;Sharmin et al, 2018).…”

“…The foundation of its successful breeding program is the research of yield and its components' direct and indirect effects, and as a result, yield increase can be better by evaluating the efficacy of yield components and making choices for traits that are closely related to yield (Bhuiyan et al, 2021;Tabassum et al, 2021;Yesmin et al, 2022). Few studies on bathua have been conducted to comprehend their performances, focusing mostly on the contribution of various yield components (Basavaraj et al, 2018;Basavaraj et al, 2019;Poonia and Upadhayay, 2015). It is crucial to quantify the growth factors and other pertinent variables that are important for crop improvement in order to comprehend the physiological underpinnings of yield variation (Hossain et al, 2009;Islam et al, 2022;Sarkar et al, 2021) between bathua genotypes.…”
