Abstract
Dill has been used in ayurvedic medicines since ancient times and it is a popular herb widely used as a spice and also yields essential oil. It is an aromatic and annual herb of apiaceae family. Dill can be gown under irrigated condition and rainfed condition. The trial was conducted under irrigated condition to test the performance of dill entries for seed yield. European type dill AD-01-43(E) showed higher plant height (134 cm) as compared to Indian type dill AD – 2 (90 cm). AD-2 recorded early (132 days) seed maturity as compared to European type dill. The variety tested at ICAR-NRCSS Ajmer for yield performance. Ajmer Dill -2 recorded higher (1466 kg/ha) seed yield as compared to local variety (1207 kg/ha) which was 21% higher. Indian dill AD-2 recorded lowest percent disease incidence (PDI) 5.2% (Tolerant) as compared to other tested entries. The proposed variety AD- 2 recorded higher (15.3 q/ha) seed yield as compared to check variety (9.64 q/ha) at farmers field and further released as Ajmer Dill -2.
