ABSTRACT
Twenty two black pepper genotypes were evaluated for yield and quality parameters under arecanut based cropping system during 2015-16 in Uttara Kannada (Dist.), Karnataka. Among them, The var. Panniyur-1(control), recorded significantly highest fresh spike yield (24.23kg/vine), fresh berry yield (22.84kg/vine) dry berry yield (8.22kg/vine)whereas, maximum black pepper (39.61%) and white pepper (31.04%)recovery seen in the genotype SV-21 and var. Panniyur-1.However, yield components viz., number of spikes per unit area, number of spikes per 100 leaves, individual spike weight differed statistically. Among the quality attributes, the bulk density was recorded maximum (650g/l) in the genotype SV-15 followed by SV-14 (627.67g/l). The essential oil content was found highest in var. Panniyur-1, SV-7, 12 and SV-16 (2.80% each).Whereas oleoresin was maximum (10.74%) in SV-7. However, the highest piperine content (5.50%) was recorded in genotype SV-15 and next best in SV-7 (5.49%).
Key words: Genotypes, evaluation, spikes, Piper nigrum L.
