Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Variations in growth and yield of three hyacinth bean genotypes collected from Sitakundu of Chittagong, were investigated at the Agricultural Research Station (ARS) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Pahar tali, Chittagong during November 2011 to March 2012, where BARI Seem-4 was used as standard control. The minimum number of days for pod formation (54 days) was recorded in BARI Seem-4, while the maximum was in DLP 002 (62 days). The highest number of pods (324) per plant was obtained from DLP 001 followed by DLP 003 (212.33) and the lowest (148.33) was obtained from BARI Seem-4. The maximum weight (12.61 g) of single pod was observed in DLP 003, which is close to that of DLP 002 (12.23 g). The minimum weight of single pod (7.08g) was however observed in DLP 001. Weight of 100-green seed (117.17 g) was maximum in DLP 002, while that of DLP 001 was the minimum (85.90 g). The maximum green seed (61.86 %) was found in DLP 003 and the minimum was in DLP 001 (47.89 %). DLP 003 produced the highest pod yield (26.77 t/ha) which was followed by DLP 001 (22.94 t/ha), while BARI Seem-4 produced the lowest (17.43 t/ha), which is close to that of DLP 002 (19.57 t/ha).

End Date: 00-00-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Hyacinth bean

Objectives:

To study the growth and yield variations of three local popular hyacinth bean genotypes in relation to those of a BARI developed popular variety BARI Seem-4.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Pahartali, Chittagong during Rabi season (October to February) of 2011-2012. Growth and yield of three promising hyacinth bean genotypes: DLP 001, DLP 002 and DLP 003 with BARI Seem-4 as check were investigated in a RCB design with three replications. Seeds were sown in black perforated poly bags (5 cm x 6 cm) on 24 October, 2011.Twenty days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field. The unit plot size was 12.0 m X 1.0 m maintaining 1.0 m X 1.0 m plant spacing. Manures and fertilizers were applied @ 10000-23-30-75 kg/ha of cowdung, N, P and K, respectively. N, P and K were applied in the form of urea, TSP and MoP, respectively. Half of the cowdung was applied during final land preparation. The rest amount of the cowdung, entire quantity of TSP, half of the urea and half of the MoP were applied in the pit (size 30 x 30x 30 cm) 10 days before transplanting of the seedling. The rest of the urea and MoP was applied as top dressing in two equal installments, at 15 and 30 days after transplanting. Two bushy (branched) twigs of bamboo, each 1.75 m in height were vertically inserted keeping the lower parts into the soil for each plant, so that the vines could climb on the twigs. Intercultural operations such as irrigation, weeding, mulching and plant protection measures were done as per recommendation of BARI. The data were taken from randomly selected 5 plants. All data on growth and yield attributes were recorded. Data on flower bud emergence, pod formation, number of pods per plant, number of green seeds per pod, pod size, weight of single pod, weight of pods per plant, 100-green-seed weight, insect and disease infestation, green seed yield, pod yield were estimated. Organoleptic evaluation was also done by a panel of 10 members setting the criteria as poor, good, very good and excellent. Data were analyzed statistically and the means were separated by Least Significant Difference (LSD) following MSTATC software.

Achievement/Findings:

All the three collected genotypes showed better performance especially in respect of pods yield as well as green seed weight per plant against BARI sheem-4. Insect and disease infestation was also lower in DLP 001 and DLP 002 as compared to BARI sheem-4 with acceptable organoleptic quality.
