Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Ulipur, Kurigram and Gabtoli, Bogra for two consecutive rabi seasons (2010-11 to 2011-12) to observe the performance of some high yielding garlic varieties ( BARI Roshun 1, BARI Roshun 2, BAU Roshun 1 and BAU Roshun 2) including local variety at farmer’s field. In Kurigram, the highest yield (8.11 and 8.04 t ha^-1 during two successive years) was obtained from BARI Roshun 2, which differed significantly from other varieties. In Bogra, the highest yield (12.01 and 11.82 t ha^-1 during two successive years) was obtained from BAU Roshun 2, which differed significantly from other varieties but in the second year it was statistically identical to BAU Roshun 1. In Kurigram, the highest gross return (Tk. 405500 and 241237 ha^-1) and the highest gross margin (Tk. 308325 and 97664 ha^-1) were obtained from BARI Roshun 2 where as in Bogra, the highest gross return (Tk. 960000 and 574000 ha^-1) and the highest gross margin (Tk. 826217 and 433081 ha^-1) were obtained from BAU Roshun 2 during two successive years. The lowest gross return and gross margin was obtained from local variety at both locations.

End Date: 00-00-2012

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of the varieties under farm condition and popularize them among the farmers to promote their adoption in the specific areas.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted to observe the performance of different modern garlic varieties at MLT Site, Ulipur, Kurigram, and MLT Site, Gabtoli, Bogra, for two consecutive rabi seasons (2010-11 to 2011-12). The land was medium high and the soil was sandy loam in texture. The experiment was laid out in a RCB design with six disperse replications having unit plot size 5m x 6m. There were five varieties viz. (BARI Roshun 1, BARI Roshun 2, BAU Roshun 1, BAU Roshun 2 and Local) at both the locations. In MLT site Kurigram, the Seeds (cloves) were sown during 7-12 November 2010 (Year 1) and 3-10 November 2011 (Year 2) with a spacing of 20 cm x 10 cm. Soil was fertilized with N-P-K-S-Zn-B-Cowdung at the rate of 115-54-165-20-4-1.7-5000 Kg ha^-1 respectively. The entire amount of P-K-S-Zn-B-Cowdung and ½ of N were applied at final land preparation. Remaining N was applied in equal two splits at 25 and 50 DAS as top dressing. The crop was harvested on 24 to 27 March in each year. In MLT site, Bogra the cloves were sown during 2-4 November 2010 (Year 1) and 29-30 October 2011 (Year 2). The crop was fertilized as per recommendation of Spices Research Centre (N-P-K-S-Cowdung at the rate of 100-53-167-20-5000 Kg ha^-1 respectively), BARI. The entire amount of P-K-S- Cowdung and ½ of N were applied at final land preparation. Remaining N was applied in equal two splits at 25 and 50 DAS as top dressing. Irrigation was provided twice at 25 and 50 DAS. The crop was harvested on 24 to 25 March in each year. Plant protection measures and other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary at both the locations. Data on yield and yield contributing characters (weight of bulb with leaf plant^-1, weight of bulb without leaf plant-¹, number of bulb m^-2, no of cloves bulb^-1, length of bulb and diameter of bulb) were taken and statistically analyzed following MSTAT software package.

Gross return (GR), total variable cost (TVC) and gross margin (GM) have been calculated using the following formula:

GR = Return of main product.

= Yield XPrice (Tk.)

TVC = All input cost except land cost and interest on operating capital.

GM = GR-TVC.

Achievement/Findings:

From the two years study, it may be concluded that improved/HYV garlic varieties showed better performance than local variety and BARI Roshun 2 and BAU Roshun 2 gave higher yield in Ulipur, Kurigram and Gabtoli, Bogra.
