Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Central Station, Dhaka to characterize of twelve tossa jute germ plasm collected from different sources were sown on 17 April, 1997 in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession along with the check varieties O-9897 and O-4. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes as per Corchorus descriptor. Based on the major yield contributing characters viz. technical height, leaf angle, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, node number, base diameter of stem, middle diameter of stem, top diameter of stem, core diameter, dry fiber weight and dry stick weight 4694, 4553, 4689 and 4740 performed better in the most of the cases than the control varieties.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Attributes, Yield

Location: Central Station, Dhaka

Start Date: 17-04-1997

End Date: 16-08-1997

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize some of tossa jute germplasm as per Corchorus Descriptor for their morpho-agronomic attributes.

Methodology:

The experiment was sown in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. Twelve accessions viz. 1358, 4546, 4548, 4550, 4553, 4785, 4882, 4695, 1482, 4689, 4694 and 4740 were sown on 17 April, 1997 with check variety O-9897 and BJRI Tossa Pat-4 (O-72). Other standard cultural and intercultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected.

Achievement/Findings:

The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes as per Corchorus descriptor. Based on the major yield contributing characters viz. technical height, leaf angle, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, node number, base diameter of stem, middle diameter of stem, top diameter of stem, core diameter, dry fiber weight and dry stick weight 4694, 4553, 4689 and 4740 performed better in the most of the cases than the control varieties.
