Abstract


ABSTRACT
Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi L.) is one of the important minor seed spice crops mainly cultivated
an area of 35000 hectares in Gujarat, Rajasthan, M.P. Whereas A.P. and Karnataka grown to a limited extent.
Indian Ajwain a native India has huge genetic variability for various traits. The germplasms consisting of 43
genotypes collected from different districts of Gujarat were studied based on eight quantitative and one
qualitative trait during rabi 2008-09. Wide variability existed among the genotypes for all the morphological
and economic traits.
Days to 50 per cent flowering (87-98), Days to Maturity (152-162), Plant height (70.7-95cm), Number of branches
(7-13.3), Number of umbels (12-22), Number of umbellate (8.7-16.7), Number of seeds (14.7-22.3), 1000 seed weight (0.66-
14.0 gm) and yield /net plot (444-1630Kg) were highly variable based on the range.
