Evaluation of Icarda Lines of Lentil

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

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Results showed that significant variations were present in all the characters except plant height and number of primary branches per plant. The days to maturity ranged from 109 to 117 days for genotypes while it was 117 days for check variety BARI masur-4. The genotype ICA-38211 produced significantly the highest pods/plant. Yield of the genotype ICA-38211 was the highest at Magura with significant difference from the reminder genotypes including BARI masur-4. At Ishurdi, ICA-38111 and ICA-23105 had significantly in different yield despite having significant difference with the others. In average over two locations, the genotype ICA-38211 had the highest seed yield followed by ICA-23105. Out of eight genotypes, two genotypes showed promising in respect of number of pods/plant and seed yield. The selected lines of ICA-38111 and ICA-23105 will be grown in the next year to assess their yield potential at different locations of Bangladesh.

Keywords: Lentil, Mutants, Yield, Evaluation

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

Start Date: 03-11-2008

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:

Seeds of 8 genotypes along with one check variety, BARI masur-4 were put into yield trial at Magura and Ishurdi. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Unit plot was 3 m x 1.5 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^-1) 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. Results showed that significant variations were present in all the characters except plant height and number of primary branches per plant. It was observed from results that plant height ranged from 32.6 to 40.2 cm. The days to maturity ranged from 109 to 117 days for genotypes while it was 117 days for check variety BARI masur-4. The genotype ICA-38211 produced significantly the highest pods/plant. Yield of the genotype ICA-38211 was the highest at Magura with significant difference from the reminder genotypes including BARI masur-4. At Ishurdi, ICA-38111 and ICA-23105 had significantly in different yield despite having significant difference with the others. In average over two locations, the genotype ICA-38211 had the highest seed yield followed by ICA-23105. Out of eight genotypes, two genotypes showed promising in respect of number of pods/plant and seed yield.

Achievement/Findings:

The genotype ICA-38211 produced significantly the highest pods/plant.

At Ishurdi, ICA-38111 and ICA-23105 had significantly in different yield despite having significant difference with the others.
