Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment describes the patterns of plant height, days required for booting, heading and flowering, sterility (%), grain yield, straw yield and harvest index of three glutinous rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars namely, Pushbiruine, Kathalibiruine and Pakbiruine grown in the coastal saline soils of South West Bangladesh. The experiment was carried out in a Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) during aman season, 2003 at the experimental land of Khulna University, Khulna. The obtained results suggest that Kathalbiruine had better plant growth, considerable booting, heading and flowering periods, higher grain yield and harvest index than Pushbiruine and Pakbiruine. Thus Kathalbiruine may be considered as a potential candidate for cultivation in South-West Coastal Region of Bangladesh.

Keywords: Coastal Bangladesh, Glutinous rice and Urea

Location: Khulna University, Khulna

Start Date: 00-07-2003

End Date: 00-12-2003

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Rice

Objectives:

To evaluate the growth and yield performance of three glutinous rice cultivars namely Pushbiruine, Kathalibiruine and Pakbiruine in the saline soil of South West Coastal Region of Bangladesh (SWCRB).

Methodology:

The study was conducted at the Khulna University high land field during July to December, 2003. The field is situated in the Agroecological Zone (AEZ) of Gangetic Tidal Floodplain. The soil of the field was loamy to clay loam having a of pH 7.9 to 8.3 with low fertility status and salinity range of 0.85 to 2.24 dSm^-1. The land was opened with a tractor and was ploughed and cross ploughed followed by conditions for transplanting rice seedlings. Full doses TSP (50 kg ha^-1) and MP (35 kg ha^-1) were applied as basal at final land preparation. Urea (88 kg ha^-1) was applied in four splits namely, at transplanting and 10, 25 and 45 DAT (days after transplanting), respectively. The prepared block with the 0.5 m border pathway, consisted of 15 plots with a unit plot size of 5 x 3 m². Three uncontaminated and homogenous transplanted seedlings of the varieties- Pushbiruine, Kathalibiruine and Pakbiruine were transplanted in each hill with spacing of 20 cm × 20 cm between rows and hills. Gap filling when needed was done within one week of transplanting. Data on seed germination, plant height, booting, heading and flowering periods, sterility encompassing grain weight, straw yield and harvest index were collected from eight randomly selected plants coupled with the avoidance of before and after harvesting border effect. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five replications and statistical analyses were carried out with a statistical package MSTAT-C.

Achievement/Findings:

Glutinous rice cultivars when experimented with recommended dose of urea in the SWCB showed differential plant height, booting, heading, flowering periods, grain and straw yields etc. which are genetic characters. Among the three cultivars, Kathalbiruine showed better performance related to those characters compared to other two cultivars. However, it is suggested to carry out further experiments on coastal saline soil of South West Coastal Bangladesh for selecting a suitable cultivar and developing appropriate management practices to adapt and cultivate glutinous rice in that region.
