Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the RHRS, Chapai-Nawabganj during the period from August 2013 to May 2014 to find out the superior ber cultivar for suitable in that region. In this experiment nine local (Apel kul, BARI Kul-1, BARI Kul-2, BAU Kul-1, Comilla Kul, Sabji Kul and Chapai Kul) and one exotic (Thai kul) ber cultivar were used. Fruits of different cultivars showed significant variations in respect of various fruit characteristics under study. The cultivar Thai kul produced the heaviest fruits (89.82 g) which was followed by BAU Kul-1 (70.60 g) and the lightest (25.38 g) was obtained from Chapai kul. The stone weight of different cultivars varied from 0.82 cm (Dhaka 90) to 2.62 cm (Thai kul). The highest edible portion (98%) was recorded from Taiwan kul followed by Apel kul, BARI Kul-1, BAU Kul-1, Thai kul and Sabji kul (97%) and the lowest edible portion (95%) in Gooty kul, Khorma kul and BARI Kul-2. The highest TSS (21%) was recorded in BARI Kul-1 followed by Apel kul and BARI Kul-2 (20%).The highest fruit yield (50.04 t/ha) was recorded from Thai kul which was followed by Khorma kul and Dhaka 90 (47.26 and 45.87 t/ha), respectively. The lowest yield (27.80 t/ha) was obtained from BARI Kul-1. BARI Kul was to early and harvested in 20^th February in contrast Chapai kul was harvested on 24^th April considered as too late among the studied cultivars.

Keywords: Ber cultivar, Evaluation, Yield and quality, Chapai Nawabganj

Location: Regional Horticulture Research Station, Chapai Nawabganj

Start Date: 00-08-2013

End Date: 00-04-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

To select some promising cultivars of ber in Chapai-Nawabganj.
To study the performance of collected ber germplasm at Chapai-Nawabganj.
To developed new ber variety having late bearing potentiality.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted with 10 ber cultivars at the Regional Horticulture Research Station, Chapai Nawabganj during the period from August 2013 to April 2014 to find out the superior germplasm of ber for releasing as a variety. In this experiment, nine local ( Apel kul, BARI Kul-1, BARI Kul-2, BAU Kul-1, Comilla Kul, Sabji Kul and Chapai Kul) and one exotic (Thai kul) ber cultivar were used. Fruits were collected at proper maturity stage. Tree, leaf, fruit and stone characters were recorded according to the ber descriptor. TSS was measured by refractometer. Data were statistically analyzed

Total Budget (Tk.) : 25000/-

Achievement/Findings:

Considering fruit characteristics, yield potential, qualitative characters, and disease-insects reaction, Thai kul, BAU kul-1, Khorma kul, Dhaka 90 were found suitable for commercial cultivation at Chapai Nawabganj. Considering harvesting time Chapai kul might be release a late variety for commercial cultivation throughout the country
