Different multivariate analyses techniques were used to classify 46 Indian mustard genotypes for 21 quantitative and quality traits and were grouped into seven clusters. The highest inter-cluster distance based on Tocher's method and Euclidean cluster analysis was observed between cluster IV & VII and cluster II & V, whereas intra cluster distance was found in cluster IV. Principal components showed Eigen value more than one were used to plot all the 46 Indian mustard genotypes in 3D plot cumulatively explaining 45.11% variability with highest element value of biological yield per plant, siliqua on main raceme and oil content contributed maximum towards total divergence. A line x tester analysis involving 10 female and 4 male parents, among the parents only four were found to be significantly superior general combiners and six crosses reflected significant desirable sca effects as well as high per se performance for seed yield along with oil quality and component traits. Such type of hybrid might be useful in heterosis breeding and subsequently isolating the desirable segregants in carrying efficient breeding programme for improvement in Indian mustard.
Present study was undertaken with thirty aromatic rice genotype grown in four environments (24 June and 14 July sown for two years; kharif 2008 and 2009) in randomized block design following standard package of practices for aromatic rice at rice research field, RAU, Pusa, Bihar. Observations were recorded on twenty one morpho-physiological and quality traits. NDR 6235 was the best and significantly out yielded with an average yield of 2965.37 kg/ha followed by Narendra Lalmati (2889.94 kg/ha), NDR 9542 (2868.12 kg/ha) and Birsamati (2708.5kg/ha) over all environments. Among the different date of sowing, E3 (24 June, 2009) gave the highest grain yield followed by E1 (24 June, 2008) and it was minimum in E2 (14 July, 2008) followed by E4 (14 July, 2009). Thus to realize optimum yields, sowing should be done in second fortnight of June. Four crosses, Badsahbhog X Pusa Sugandh 3, Badsahbhog X Jasmaine, Badsahbhog X Sanwal Basmati and Badsahbhog X Rajendra Kasturi have been suggested for the improvement of yield and quality characters through selection breeding programme. Farmers can adapt cultivation of premium quality aromatic rices viz. Sanwal Basmati, Pusa Sugandh 3 and Jasmaine
