Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was carried out to see the performance of lalsak when grown under mango tree in different orientation of plots from the base of the plant. It appeared that the highest yield (8.27 t/ha) was obtained when the crop was grown in the northern side of the mango plant than the other directions. It was also observed that the crop attained a very attractive colour in the same direction.

Keywords: Red amaranth,Yield and quality, Mango tree

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong

Start Date: 00-00-1991

End Date: 00-00-1992

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Amaranth

Objectives:

To determine the best placement of red amaranth with reference to the tree base where the yield and quality of it would be most appreciable.

Methodology:

The experiment was set up in the eastern mango garden of the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong during rabi, 1991-92. Three mango plants of each 30 years old were taken into consideration for the experiment. Mango plants were spaced by 12.5 m x 12.5 m. Unit plot size was 7.5 m x 7.5 m. Unit plot was considered in such a way that the mango plant remains more or less at the middle position. The distance of each of the red amaranth plot in four different directions was 40 cm from the base of mango tree. Seeds were sown on 1 January, 1992 maintaining 10 cm x 5 cm spacing. The four different directions viz., North, South, East and West were the four different treatments of the experiment. The crop was fertilized as per recommendation (Rashid, 1976). The crop was harvested 50 days after sowing. Data on different characters along with yield were recorded from one square metre area at the middle portion of the red amaranth plot in each of the directions from each unit plot. Other cultural operations were done as and when needed. The crop was free from insect-pests and diseases. Data on different yield contributing characters and yield were statistically analyzed for interpretation of results.
