Abstract
A new variety of Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.), Gujarat Ajwain 3 (GA 3) was tested in six trials at Jagudan and three trials of CVT at seven different locations (Jagudan, Jobner, Ajmer, Guntur, Hisar, Kumarganj, Raigardh) across India. Gujarat Ajwain 3 (GA 3) is high yielding variety with 12.9 and 4.5 per cent higher seed yield over national checks viz., AA 1 and AA 2, respectively. This new variety had uniform seed size with attractive seed colour, bold seed size, more pungent and good aroma. Gujarat Ajwain 3 has Medium leafy, green foliage colour and medium maturity duration. Due to all above salient feature variety was recommended for release in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
