Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Analysis of variance revealed aignificant differences among the treatments for plant height and fibre weight. Treatment number 4337/06, 4339/06 and 6702/A gave higher yield than both the check varieties CVL-1 and CVE-3

Keywords: Improvement of fibre, Associated traits in white jute

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikganj

Start Date: 26-04-2013

End Date: 28-08-2013

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

For Varietal improvement developing superior genotypes having higher yield than the existing varieties. in order to develop high yielding varieties coupled with quality fibre, early maturity, wide adaptability, disease and pest tolerance, the promising varieties/lines To cross in all possible combinations to complete the 10 x 10 parents diallel set during 1999-2000

Methodology:

Thirteen progenies (1546, 1548, 4311, 4328, 4330, 4337, 4339, 5007, 6702/A, 6702/B, 6772, 6787, 6790) and two check varieties CVL-1 and CVE-3 were grown at Manikganj in 2013. The experiment was carried out in a randomized compete block design with three replications having 3.6m long row of three lines for each treatment within block. Data were recorded on plant height, base diameter, fibre weight and stick weight.

Achievement/Findings:

In the present study, nine yield and yield contributing characters of ten jute lines (F₃ generation) have been studied. It is always possible that some lines performed better in some characters, while others performed better in other characters. In order to asses the most favorable ones, it is better to rank each on specific character basis and find out those which are performing better on over all characters. It was found that the line C-2593 X D-154 best in ranking for all the characters. This was followed by C-12221 X D-154, C-12033 X D-154, C-12221 X C-3070 and C-2593 x C-12033 (Table 9a 9b) in Patuakhali. On the other hand line C-2593 X D-154 was best and followed by C-12221 X D-154, C-12033 X D-154 and C-12221 X C-3070 in Satkhira (Table 9c and 9d). This was possibly due to their wider distance than others.
