Abstract/ Executive Summary:

F3 and F4 segregating lines of 6 cross combinations involving prickled recommended cultivar HS-24, smooth fibre type SAMU’93 and early maturing but prickled 300M. Smooth vegetable type PI-274245 and early smooth line 2065 and selected plants of F2 and F3 segregating lines were sown at Manikganj and Monirampur in 2000. A wide range of variation in respect of maturity, plant height, growth vigour and smoothness was observed. Few promising segregates were selected and also one to three plants were selected from most of the F3 and F4 line in respect of earliness, smoothness, growth habit and other attributes.

Keywords: Hybridization, Earliness, Smoothness, Growth habit, Mesta

Location: Manikganj and Monirampur

Start Date: 17-04-2001

End Date: 26-08-2001

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To develop breeding materials of Mesta in respect of earliness, smoothness, quick growth and other attributes.

Methodology:

In order to combine early maturing characters from early maturing line and smoothness from smooth lines with the recommended high yielding variety HS-24, parents including one high yielding cultivars were crossed without reciprocals. F3 and F4 segregating generation of 6 cross combinations involving prickled recommended cutlivar HS-24, smooth fibre type SAMU’93, smooth vegetable type PI-274245 and early maturing and smooth type 2005 with selected plants were sown in the field at JAES, Manikganj and Manirmapur having 2 lines of 1.5m long row for each treatment. Proper intercultural operations and agronomic practices were done for uniform growth.
