Zonal Yield Trial for the Selected Mutants of Lentil

Dr. M. A. Samad
Principal Scientific Officer
Plant Breeding Division, BINA, BAU Campus, Mymensingh-2202

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Results showed that significant variations were present in all the characters except number of primary branches/plant. The days to maturity ranged from 107 to 115 days for mutants while it was 115 days for mother variety of BARI masur-4. The mutant LM-67-5 matured earlier than both the mutants and the check variety. The mutant, LM-156-1, LM-67-5 and LM-123-7 produced higher number of pods per plant. In Magura, mutant LM-156-1 produced significantly the highest seed yield of 2105 kgha-1 followed by LM-67-5 and LM-123-7. At Ishurdi and Jamalpur, mutants LM-156-1 produced the highest seed yield among the mutants and the check variety. But, the mutant LM-156-1 produced higher in average seed yield and number of pods/plant among the mutants and the check variety.

Keywords: Lentil, Mutants, Yield, Zonal trial

Location: Experimental field at BINA sub-station Ishurdi and Magura

Start Date: 03-11-2010

End Date: 23-03-2011

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Lentil

Objectives:

Development of varieties with bolder seed, earliness, higher seed yield with improved nutritional quality and resistance/tolerance to rust, root rot and blight

Methodology:

Five mutants along with check variety, BARI masur-4 were put into on station yield trial at Maugra, Ishurdi and Jamalpur. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Unit plot was 5 m x 4 m. Distances between rows and plants were 30 cm and 5-6 cm, respectively. Plant height, number of primary branches/plant, days to maturity, number of pods/plant and seed yield (kg/ha) were recorded from randomly selected 10 plants of each plot. Plot yield was converted to kg ha^-1. Statistical analysis of different characters of the mutants and check variety.
