Department of Horticulture, BAU, Mymensingh

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Survey on Jackfruit trees and fruit characteristics was made during fruiting season in Madhupur upazilla of Tangail district; Kotawali and Muktagacha upazillas of Mymensingh district. A total of thirty one types of fruits were studied in the laboratory to determine the different characteristics. There were differences in edible portion, bulb and seed ratio, number of bulb, nature of pericarp and its sweetness. Seedlings were raised from all the 31 selected types of jack fruit. Only 12 types from Madhupur were planted in a planned way to establish an orchard of different germplasm during 1989-90. The rest 19 types are allowed to grow in the nursery for planting in the next session. All the necessary care was taken on the jackfruit seedlings of 32 types planted in 1989-90. The growth of the plants is found to be satisfactory. The jackfruit seedlings of selected types were distributed to a large number of farmer's families residing around the Bangladesh Agricultural University and expert service was also extended to them.
