Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Four sweet caranda germplasm were planted at RARS, Hathazari, Chittagong and evaluated to observe their field performances as well as their genetic variations. A wide genetic variations were observed among different morphological parameters studied. The highest (40 cm) base girth was observed in CC Hat-001, CC Hat-002 and CC Hat-004, respectively, while the lowest (20.0 cm) was inCC Hat-003. Maximum number of main branch (5) was found in CC Hat-003 followed by CC Hat-004 (4) and miximum (2) in CC Hat-002. Among the germplasm CC Hat-001 was the tallest (2.90 m) plant whereas CC Hat-002 was the shortest (1.30 m). CC Hat-004 produced the highest (2.90 x 2.95 m) canopy among the genotypes. Yield and yield contributing parameters of four germplasm were exebated a wide variation. Maximum number of fruits/plant was obtained from CC Hat-004 (105) while minimum (19) from CC Hat-003. Single fruit weight (16.4 g) was the highest in CC Hat-003, while the lowest (13.2 g) in CC Hat-002. Fruit yield was found the highest (1.64 kg) in CC Hat-004, while the lowest (0.31 kg) in CC Hat-003. Edible portion was maximum (95.48%) in CC Hat-001 and minimum (88.46%) in CC Hat-004. The TSS content was the highest (12.67%) in CC Hat-004, even as the lowest (11.33%) in CC Hat-002.

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

To study the performance of sweet caranda germplasm at Hathazari, Chittagong
To evaluate, characterized and documented the sweet caranda germplasm for improvement
To select superior sweet caranda germplam in order to release as variety.

Methodology:

Four promising germplasm of sweet caranda were collected and planted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong and evaluated during 2013 to 2014. The plants were planted during 2006 maintaining 3 x 3 m plant spacing in a single row. Each of the plants was fertilized with cow dung 20 kg, Urea 250g, TSP 250g and MP 250g in two installments at the beginning and the end of the rainy season. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Fully mature fruits were harvested from the plant during August-September. Fully mature fruit were harvested from the plants and after ripening five fruits from each plant were randomly selected for evaluation. Data on plant height, base girth, spreading, branching density, number of primary branches, time of flowering, time of harvesting, harvest duration, number of fruits/plant, fruit weight (g), fruit length (cm), fruit breadth (cm), seed per fruit, seed weight (g), edible portion (%), TSS (%), yield/plant (kg), shape of fruit, fruit color at ripen, organoleptic taste and insect-diseases reaction were recorded and the mean data were calculated.

Achievement/Findings:

From the above findings it may be concluded that the line CC HAT-004 was found the best considering, plant growth, fruit weight, fruits/plant, yield and TSS content of fruits among the germplasm and might be selected as a promising germplasm of sweet caranda.
