Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at central station, Dhaka to characterize of eight mesta germ plasm collected from different sources were sown on 17 April, 1997 along with the check variety HS-24. 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. 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 Hibiscus 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 accessions 5022 and 4667 performed better than the check variety HS-24.

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: Mesta

Objectives:

To characterize some of mesta germplasm as per Hibiscus 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. Seven accessions viz. CGR 0817, CGR 1040, 4203, 4537, 4545, 4667 and 5022 were sown on 17 April, 1997 with check variety HS-24. 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. The data were analyzed following standard statistical procedures.
