Abstract

Stigma receptivity studies were performed among 7 male sterile lines (CK 60 A, 1036 A, 2077 A, 2219 A, 36 A, 1202 A, 1258 A of CSH 1, CSH 4, CSH 5, CSH 6, CSH 7 R and CSH 8 R) and 2 new Maldandi rabi hybrids during the kharif [monsoon] and rabi [winter] seasons of 1976-7. In general, all the male sterile lines had stigma receptivity for 6-10 days in the kharif and 5-9 days in the rabi seasons. These findings suggest that even if the male parents in all the hybrids except CSH 6 were sown 2-3 days later or after the female parents, seed setting may not be reduced significantly. In the case of CSH 6, the female parent should be sown 2-3 days after the male parent for effective synchronization of flowering
