Studies on selection of elite lines of CI-37 seedling progenies of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum Maton)
Abstract
Studies were carried out at Chettalli (Karnataka, India) to select high yielding accessions (lines) of cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) from seedling progenies of CI-37 in a cardamom plantation and also to identify plants for earliness (yielding) coupled with high yield potential. Among the 275 high yielding accessions selected, 49 entries (17.8% of total entries) were classified as high yielders with a mean yield of 6537.01 g wet capsules/clump. High variability for total yield and Bartlet Index of earliness for yield was observed. The yield per clump varied from 325 to 7555 g wet capsules/clump. Entry No. 186 was identified to be a high yielding early type having the highest Bartlet Index of 0.7084950 with a total yield of 5156 g wet capsules/clump.
