Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A pot experiment was carried at Patuakhali Science and Technology University to study the performance of some BARI wheat varieties under the coastal area of Patuakhali. Four wheat varieties viz. BARI ghom-23, BARI ghom-24, BARI ghom-25 and BARI ghom-26 were planted in the field to evaluate their comparative performance in respect of germination percentage, growth, yield and yield attributing characters. Among the four varieties, BARI ghom-26 showed superior performance irrespective of all parameters studied except total dry matter content (TDM) and yield reduction percentage. Among the BARI varieties, BARI ghom-26 produced greater germination (61.00%) at 13 days judge against to other varieties. The taller plant (47.91 cm), higher LAI (1.84), maximum TDM (17.37 g plant-1) and effective tillers hill-1 (18.08) were also obtained with the similar variety. BARI ghom-26 was also most effective to produce the maximum grains spike-1 (38.52), higher weight of 1000-grains (49.38 g), higher grain (3.35 t ha-1) and straw (8.50 g plant-1) yield and greater HI (4.03%). So, the variety BARI ghom-26 produced the outstanding superiority among the varieties.

Keywords: Germination percentage, Growth and yield, Wheat

End Date: 00-04-2011

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Wheat

Objectives:

1. The present study was focused on identifying the most suitable variety regarding to morpho-physiological performance and yield of wheat in coastal areas of Patuakhali district.

Methodology:

A pot experiment was conducted at the Research field of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali during the period from Nov. 2010 to April 2011 which was located at 20020? N latitude and 90020? E longitudes at a height of 1.5 above the sea level and falls under “AEZ-13”. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Four wheat varieties viz. BARI ghom-23 (V1), BARI ghom-24 (V2), BARI ghom-25 (V3) and BARI ghom-26 (V4) were used as planting materials for this study. Unit pot size was 0.091 m2. Soils from the PSTU research farm were dried in the sun and grinded well manually. The soil, fertilizer (100, 60, 40 and 7.5 kg ha-1 of N, P, K and Zn respectively in the form of Urea, TSP and MoP and ZnSO4) and cowdung were mixed before putting the soil into the pots. Each pot was filled with 18 kg of mixture soil. Four plants were collected from each pot prior to harvesting for sampling and data collection. Germination ability of wheat seeds were tested in Lab condition and germination (%) was recorded at 7, 10 and 13 DAS. Plant height was measured by scale (in cm) from the base of the plant to the spike including awn at 100 DAS. From each pot, 1000 grains were taken randomly and weight was recorded in g 12% moisture. No. of effective tillers hill-1 was calculated by counting the number of tillers bearing the ear. The plant parts such as leaves, stems, roots and panicles were detached and were kept separately in oven at 80O C for 72 hours and then their weight was recorded. Leaf area was also measured at anthesis period using leaf area meter (Model-L-1-3000-LICOR INC. Nebrasca; USA). Grain was harvested from one pot and it was converted to g plant-1 and t ha-1. Similarly shoot yield was also recorded g plant-1. Harvest Index (HI) was calculated based on the formula of Gardner et al., 1985. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and mean were done with the help of computer package M-STATC and mean differences among the varieties were adjusted with Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

Among the four varieties, BARI ghom-26 showed superior performance irrespective of all parameters studied except total dry matter content (TDM) and yield reduction percentage. Among the BARI varieties, BARI ghom-26 produced greater germination (61.00%) at 13 days judge against to other varieties. The taller plant (47.91 cm), higher LAI (1.84), maximum TDM (17.37 g plant-1) and effective tillers hill-1 (18.08) were also obtained with the similar variety. BARI ghom-26 was also most effective to produce the maximum grains spike-1 (38.52), higher weight of 1000-grains (49.38 g), higher grain (3.35 t ha-1) and straw (8.50 g plant-1) yield and greater HI (4.03%). So, the variety BARI ghom-26 produced the outstanding superiority among the varieties.
