Author(s):

Abstract:

Field experiment was carried out during the Kharif-2018-19 to evaluate the performance of the hybrids and varieties of castor. Among the different hybrids and varieties number of capsules per spike was highest in DCH-519 (42.80) and was on par with DCH-177 (40.20) followed by PCH-111 (37.67), GCH-4 (36.53). Highest seed yield (509 kg/ha) and net returns (4199 Rs/ha) was recorded in DCH-519 and B:C ratio of 1.24 which was on par with DCH-177 with seed yield of 495 kg/ha and net returns, B:C ratio of 3503 Rs/ha and 1.20 respectively. Among treatments DCH-519 recorded the highest gross returns, net returns and B : C ratio to higher yield attributes which results in higher yield and lowest was in Haritha.
