Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Experiments were conducted using BAU Amloki-1 at three upazilla of Northern region and BAU–GPC of Bangladesh during the period from July 2009 to June 2013 to study plant morphology, yield and yield attributing characters. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that BAU Amloki–1 were perform better under Palashbari, Gaibandha region than that of other studied locations as well as the tallest plant (1.99, 2.67 and 3.43 m), maximum leaves (803.25, 1242.20 and 1491.83 plant^–1), maximum branches (11.48, 20.79 and 23.16 plant^–1) and higher canopy (1.90, 2.45 and 3.56 m³) were exhibited under this locations in 2010, 2011 and 2012 m, respectively. Gaibandha Sadar had also showed superior results on fruits number at first (57.31 and 76.89 plant^–1) and second harvest (41.28 and 59.64 plant^–1), harvested (94.18 and 123.08 plant^–1) and fresh fruit (89.29 and 112.13 plant^–1) as well as higher fruit yield (1.99 and 2.57 kg plant^–1) in 2011 and 2012, respectively. From the above investigation, it was found that BAU-GPC released BAU Amloki–1 was the most productive due to its higher adaptability under Gaibandha Sadar area than other regions. So, therefore, Palashbari, Gaibandha was the most selective are for obtaining the greater yield of BAU Amloki-1.

Location: Different locations of Northern region and BAU–GPC (released region) area of Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-07-2009

End Date: 00-06-2013

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Fruit

Objectives:

1. To determine the performance of BAU–GPC released Amloki–1 at different part of Northern Region with a view to select the suitable area for obtaining the better growth and higher production of Amloki.

Methodology:

The present study was conducted at different locations of Northern region and BAU–GPC (released region) area of Bangladesh during the period from July 2009 to June 2013. The single factor experiment was consisted 4 treatments of locations where three upazillas of Northern part of Bangladesh namely Palashbari, Gaibandha, Gaibandha Sadar and Pirgonj, Rangpur of AEZ–2 and BAU–GPC, Mymenisngh of AEZ–9. BAU Amloki–1 was used as planting materials which was released by BAU–GPC, Mymensingh–2202, Bangladesh. The performance study of BAU Amloki was continuing where the various data regarding morphology, yield and yield attributing were recorded at 2010, 2011 and 2012. The whole experimental area was divided into three plots whereas each block contains each replication. Similar design was also applied for each studied areas (treatments). Thus there were 12 (treatments 4 × replication 3) unit plots altogether in the experiment. A distance of 4 m was for both plant to plant and line to line where replication to replication (block to block) distance was 5 m. Two-three (2-3) years sampling of BAU Amloki–1 were planted at September 2009. Irrigation was given after fruit set and thereafter at a fortnight interval. Fertilizers @ 10-15 kg FYM, 750 g urea, 400 g TSP, 250 g MP, 250 g gypsum and 15 g zinc sulphate were applied per plant in two split. Weeding was done at an integral of fifteen days up to fruit set and it was continued at an integral of seven days from fruit set to harvest. Caterpillar is the major insects during the experiment which was controlled by the injection of Endosulfan at the ratio of 2 ml in 1 litres of water. Spraying of Mancozeb in the proportion of 3 gm per litre of water twice first in early September and second 15 days after first application controls the spread of rust in each year of experiment. Fruit are harvested when yellow color develops in the furrow between the ridges and the ridges are green. The data were recorded on plant height, leaves/plant, branches/plant, canopy volume (m³), days to 100% flowering, days to fruit setting, total fruits/plant, harvested fruits/plant, fresh fruits/plant and yield/plant (kg). The experiment was laid out in single factors with three replications while statistical analysis of the data were done by RCBD method and means were adjudged by LAS at both 1 and 5% level of probability.

Achievement/Findings:

It was found that BAU–GPC released BAU Amloki–1 was most productive under Gaibandha Sadar than other studied regions which might be due to the climatic condition, physical and chemical properties of the soil, soil pH and other condition of that region were more favourable for the cultivation of BAU Amloki–1 which was helpful for maximizing the yield of Amloki.
