Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at char area, Mornea, Gangachara, Rangpur under ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur during rabi season 2012-13 and 2013-14 to find out the performance of different garlic varieties with different dates of planting for higher yield of garlic to farmers of the northern char areas region. The experiment was carried out in split plot design with three replications. Five sowing dates in main plot viz. S₁:30 Oct, S₂:15 Nov, S₃:30 Nov, S₄:15 Dec and S₅:30 Dec and three varieties in sub plot viz. V₁: BARI Roshun-1; V₂: BARI Roshun-2 and V₃: local were accommodated in the experiment. The highest bulb yield (5.53 t/ha) was obtained from BARI Roshun-1 which was statistically similar with local variety and the lowest bulb yield (4.76 t/ha) was recorded from BARI Roshun-2 at 2012-13 while in 2013-14, BARI Roshun-1 produced significantly the highest bulb yield (5.20 t/ha) than BARI Roshun-2 and local one. In both the year, with the delay in planting time from 30 October yield was reduced gradually. The highest bulb yield (6.80 and 6.39 t/ha, 2012-13 and 2013-14 respectively) was recorded when planting was done on 30 October. The lowest bulb yield (3.22 t/ha and 2.99 t/ha, 2012-13 and 2013-14 respectively) was obtained from 30 December planting. 30 October was the best planting time for all the garlic varieties in 2012-13 and 2013-14 respectively. Early planting up to 15 November with BARI Roshun-1 might be considered for better yield of garlic in char area of northern region.

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Garlic

Objectives:

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the performances of these varieties in char area of northern region.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at char area, Mornea, Gangachara, Rangpur under ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur during rabi season 2012-13 and 2013-14. The experiment was carried out in split plot design with three replications. Five sowing dates in main plot viz. S₁:30 Oct, S₂:15 Nov, S₃: 30 Nov, S₄: 15 Dec and S₅:30 Dec and three varieties in sub plot viz. V₁: BARI Roshun-1; V₂: BARI Roshun-2 and V₃: local were accommodated in the experiment in both the year. The fertilizers were applied at the rate of 120-60-160-40-4 kg/ha N P K S and Zn. Half of urea and all other fertilizer were applied as basal during final land preparation. Remaining urea were applied as top-dress in two equal splits at 25 and 50 days after sowing. Size of the plots was 4m x 3m and plant spacing was 20cm x 10cm in 1^st year. In 2^nd year plot size was 3m x 2m and plant spacing was same. Intercultural operations were done as and when required. Yield component data were collected from 10 randomly selected plants prior to harvest from each plot. At harvest, the yield data was recorded plot wise. Collected data were analyzed statistically and means were adjudged by LSD test at 5% level of significance using MSTAT-C package.

Achievement/Findings:

From the two years result it might be concluded that 30 October would be the optimum planting time for all the garlic varieties with the flexibility for BARI Roshun-1 up to November 15 in charland area of northern region
