Abstract/Description: | Castor is an important industrial oil crop for which India is one of the centres of diversity. In order to collect, conserve and study the existing variability inthe country, anexploraiton mission was carried out in an unexplored area of nroth-western India, where castor grows in semi-wild and wild forms under various ecosystems. The exploration covered an area of 8000 km at an altitude ranging from 170 to 3300 masl. A wide diversity of castor was collected with various agro-morphological attributes. Among the accessions collected were pistilalte plants, heavy-bloom types and others with reare morphology such as spiny, sparsely spiny and non-spiny capsules in the same spike, ornamental rose-white spike, non-dehiscent capsules and very small nearly round capsules. All of these will be useful in castor-improvement programmmes. |
