Impact of Farming Systems on Morphological Multiple-Traits for Yield, of Parsley (Petroselinum Crispum) Genotypes
Abstract
The study was carried out to determine the morphological variation of seven genotypes of parsley grown under four different farming system. An assortment of seven genotypes of parsley was studied in experiment to evaluate morphological characteristics and yield parameter grown under different hydroponics system (NFT, DFT and Dutch Bucket) and polyhouse condition. Study showed significance difference in morphological parameters, among the parsley genotypes, and different farming systems during 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The pooled data showed that plant height (cm) was highest in genotype Gigante Italian (26.00 cm) in Nutrient Film
Technique (NFT) followed by naturally ventilated polyhouse (22.66 cm), Dutch Bucket (22.66 cm) and Deep Floating Technique (DFT) (22.00 cm). The leaflet length and width (cm) were highest in genotype Giant Plain (4.09 cm, 4.38 cm) under polyhouse condition and lowest in genotype Kruasa curled (1.738 cm, 2.037 cm). In polyhouse total three, in NFT total six, Dutch Bucket total four and DFT total three harvesting was done throughout the season. After all, harvesting the fresh weight were measured. The fresh weight(gm) was varied from 680-898 gm in NFT, 349-517 gm in Dutch Bucket, 257-394 gm in DFT and 486-634 gm in polyhouse condition. Study found that the genotype Gigante Italian and farming system NFT had highest fresh weight (898 gm/plant) and dry weight (149.907 g). Correlation coefficient analysis estimates the relationship between different plant parameters. The plant height had positive and significant correlation with the number of branches
and yield per plant.
