Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment taking three rootstocks viz. Rough lemon, Kalamunshi and Rangpur lime was carried out at ARS, Raikhali, Rangamati to observe the effect of three rootstoks of mandarin during 2010-11. The growth of BARI kamala-1 grafted on rough lemon, kalamunshi, Rangpur lime was found very good. Among the studied mandarin plants maximum plant height was obtained from Rangpur lime (69 m) and the lowest was found in Kalamunshi (56.80 cm). The maximum base girth was found in rough lemon (5.80 cm) closely followed by Kalamunshi (4.9 cm) and the lowest in Rangpur lime (4.7cm).The maximum canopy spread of both directions E-W (33.60 cm) and N-S (33.20 cm) was found in Rangpur lime closely followed by rough lemon and the lowest in Kalamunshi (22.4 and 25.6 cm, respectively). There were no diseases incidence were found.

Location: Agricultural Research Station, Raikhali, Rangamati

Start Date: 00-00-2010

End Date: 00-00-2011

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Fruit

Objectives:

To determine the suitable rootstock for vegetative propagation of mandarin.
To study the effect of rootstock in success, survivalist and growth of mandarin.
To standardized the effective rootstock for mandarin cultivation in hilly areas of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at ARS Raikhali, Chandraghona, Rangamati during 2010-2011. The grafted saplings of mandarin on different rootstocks like rough lemon, kalamunshi, Rangpur lime were used in this experiment. Three different types of rootstocks were collected as seeds and directly sown in nursery beds for raising seedlings. The scion of BARI kamala-1 grafted onto one year old seedlings of rootstock following cleft grafting method at 2009. During August 2011 two years old grafts of BARI kamala-1 were planted at experimental field. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The saplings distance was 4 ×4 m. Each of the plants was fertilized with cow dung 12 kg, Urea 225 g, TSP 150 g and MoP 150 g in two installments at the beginning and the end of the rainy season. The saplings were irrigated at an interval of 15 days from January to March. Imidachloprid (Imitaf 0.25ml/L of water) was applied to reduce leaf miner infestation when new leaf emerged. Weeding was done regularly so that weeds cannot retard the growth of the sapling. Mulching was done in the winter. Data were recorded on plant height, base girth canopy spreading, number of branches/plant, leaf size and growth condition and analyzed by MSTST-C programme. DMRT was performed for interpretation of results.

Achievement/Findings:

It may be concluded that among grafted plants the growth of BARI kamala-1 grafted on to rough lemon, kalamunshi, Rangpur lime was found very good. In respect of plant height, base girth, plant spreading, growth condition and bunch density BARI kamala-1 grafted on to Rangpur lime performed better followed by rough lemon and might be recommended for mandarin grafting in hilly areas.
