Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In an evaluation of 18 vegetable soybean genotypes conducted during summer 1991 at the farm of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, the genotypes VS010 and VS018 were found promising in respect of yield, and pest and disease reaction. The line VS018 gave significantly higher yield (10.02 t/ha) of green pod followed by the line VS010 (9.1 t/ha). Both the lines were observed free from insect pests and diseases.

Keywords: Exotic vegetable, Soybean, Genotypes, Performance

Location: Central Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute

Start Date: 00-04-1991

End Date: 00-09-1991

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Soybean

Objectives:

To collect information on various aspects of the collected genotypes is essential in formulating efficient breeding program for yield increase.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Central Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) during the period from April to September 1991. Eighteen vegetable soybean lines were collected from AVRDC, Taiwan. All these lines were .put in a RCB design with three replications. Planting was made in plots (3m x1 m) at a spacing of 50 cm between rows and 20cm between plants. The plots were fertilized @ 5 tons cowdung, 50 kg Urea, 150 kg TSP and 150 kg MP per hectare, respectively. The entire quantity of cowdung and fertilizers were applied during land preparation. Data on various characters viz., plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of branches per plant, days to flowering, number of pods per plant, weight of 100-green seeds, number of seeds per pod and weight of 100-geen pod, green pod yield were recorded from 10 randomly chosen plants of each plot and the mean values were analyzed statistically. The pest and disease rating data was also recorded as per standard rule.

Achievement/Findings:

The above results imply that the vegetable soybean lines VS010 and VS018 were found promising in respect of yield, disease and insect pest reaction. The lines need to be tested at different agro-climatic regions of Bangladesh to evaluate their suitability for wide cultivation in the country.
