Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Forty six accessions of tossa jute germplasm collected from different sources were characterized at JAES, Manikganj and Jute Research Regional Station, Rangpur during kharif season in 2013. The accessions were characterized for twenty morpho-agronomic attributes as per Corchorus descriptor in order to select superior genotypes for the genetic improvement of jute. Considerable ranges of variability were observed in stem colour, petiole colour, stipule colour, plant technical height, base diameter, dry fibre weight and dry stick weight. Considering the major yield contributing characters accessions 1077, 1078, 1075, 1079, 1061, 1049 and 1032 performed better in most of the cases than the control varieties O-9897 and BJRI Tossa Pat-4.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Attributes, Yield

Location: JAES, Manikganj and Jute Research Regional Station, Rangpur

End Date:

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize some of tossa jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) germplasm as per Corchorus Descriptor for their morpho-agronomic attributes.

Methodology:

The experiment conducted by sowing seeds on 8 April, 2013. Forty six accessions viz. 1028, 1029, 1030, 1032, 1033, 1034, 1038, 1039, 1040, 1042, 1043, 1044, 1045, 1047, 1048, 1049, 1050, 1051, 1052, 1053, 1055, 1058, 1059, 1060, 1061, 1067, 1068, 1069, 1070, 1071, 1072, 1073 and 1074 along with the check varieties O-9897 and BJRI Tossa Pat-4 (O-72) were taken to this study. Each accession was sown in 5 rows of 3 m length, spacing was 30 cm between rows, 5-6 cm between plants and 1 m between plots. Standard cultural and inter-cultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data on stem colour, leaf colour, vein colour, petiole colour, stipule colour, bud colour, and fruit colour were collected at 60 days after sowing and pre-bud stage. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected as per Corchorus Descriptor. Data were analyzed following standard statistical procedures.
