Abstract :A field experiment was conducted during the years 2016- 2017, 2017-18 and 2018-19 to evaluate the performance of 13 elite Isabgol genotypes for commercial cultivation under semi-arid conditions of Haryana at Research Farm of MAP Section, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The results on the basis of mean performance over three years seed yield data of all 13 genotypes revealed that, the highest seed yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(kg/ha); was found in genotype HI-137 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(307.89 kg/ha); and closely followed by HI-135 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(307.86 kg/ha);, which were significantly superior to all the genotypes. Some other genotypes like Niharika insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(290.82 kg/ha); and HI-133 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(293.13 kg/ha); also produced good yield. Lowest seed yield was recorded in genotype HI-136 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(189.94 kg/ha);. On the basis of average of three years data, it is consolidated that the genotype, HI-135 had the longest spike insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.55 cm); followed by HI-131 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.38 cm);, HI-137 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.26 cm); and HI-138 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.16 cm);. Likewise, HI-137 was also recorded the maximum number of florets/spike insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(47.71 florets/ spike); closely followed by GI-2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46.52 florets/spike);, Niharika insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(46.11 florets/spike); and HI-135 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(44.36 florets/spike);. Under different environment conditions, the elite genotypes, HI-137 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(307.89 kg/ha); and HI-135 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(307.86 kg/ha); were able to perform better and were significantly superior to all other genotypes, therefore, these genotypes may be recommended for cultivation in semi-arid region of Haryana after further testing their preference over time and space.
