Evaluation of Icarda Lines of Lentil

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

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Results showed significant variations in all the characters. It was observed from results that plant height ranged from 42 cm to 53 cm. The days to maturity ranged from 113 to 124 days for genotypes while it was 114 days for mother variety of BARImasur-4. The genotype ICA-23105 and ICA-23129 produced higher number of pods per plant. The genotype ICA-23105 and ICA-23129 produced significantly the highest seed yield (1579 and 1508 kg/ha).

Keywords: Lentil, Mutants, Yield, Evaluation

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

Start Date: 07-11-2007

End Date: 31-03-2008

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 12 genotypes along with the check variety, BARImasur-4 were put into preliminary yield trial at Ishurdi and Magura. 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) were recorded from randomly selected 10 plants in each plot.

Achievement/Findings:

Out of twelve genotypes, two genotypes (ICA-23105 and ICA-23129) showed promising in respect of number of pods/plant and seed yield. The selected mutant lines will be grown in the next year to assess their yield potential at different locations of Bangladesh.
