Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at HTARS, Ramgarh during 2008-2009. The maximum yield per plant (657.93 kg) was obtained from AH RAM 002 followed by AH RAM 006(526.68 kg) and it was lowest in AH RAM 098 (240.56 kg). The highest TSS was recorded in AH RAM 002(21.00%) followed by AH RAM 041 (20.58%) and AH RAM 006 (19.56%). The highest edible portion was found in AH RAM 044(53.97%) and the lowest was obtained from AH RAM 098 (50.77%).

Keywords: Jackfruit, performance, superior, variability

Location: Hill Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh, Khagrachari

Start Date: 01-01-2008

End Date: 31-10-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jackfruit

Objectives:

To evaluate the selected six superior jackfruit germplasm for recommendation of most suitable line(s) in hill tracts regions of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Hill Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh, Khagrachari hill district during 2008-2009. Among primarily selected 100 germplasm, seconadarily 40 and finally 6 superior lines were selected earlier and included in this study viz. AH RAM 002,AH RAM 006, AH RAM 011, AH RAM 041, AH RAM 044 and AH RAM 098 to evaluate the superior jackfruit line(s). Five fruits from each plant were randomly selected for evaluation. Fully mature fruit were harvested from the plant and data on number of fruits per plant, fruit size, single fruit weight, number of cells per fruit, cell size and color, TSS, sweetness, taste etc were recorded after ripening of the fruits and the mean data were calculated, analyzed using, MS-Excel and SPSS program and presented.

Total Budget (Tk.) : 25000/-

Achievement/Findings:

The maximum number of fruit per plant were obtained from AH RAM 002 (91) followed by AH RAM 006 (77) and the minimum was from AH RAM 011 (30). Individual fruit weight was the maximum in AH RAM 041 (10.13 kg) followed by AH RAM 044 (10.08kg) and minimum was in AH RAM 006 (6.84kg). Highest yield per plant (657.93 kg) was observed in AH RAM 002 followed by AH RAM 006(526.68 kg) and lowest from AH RAM 098 (240.56 kg). Maximum TSS was obtained from AH RAM 002 (21.00%) followed by AH RAM 041 (20.58%) and AH RAM 006 (19.56%). Edible portion was highest in AH RAM 044 (53.97%) and the lowest edible portion was obtained from AH RAM 098 (50.77%).
