Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A two year experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2012-2013 and 2013-14 at the Regional Wheat Centre (RWRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Rajshahi. Recently released six varieties like Shatabdi, Bijoy, Prodip, BARI Gom 29, BARI Gom 26 and BARI Gom 27 were evaluated under raised bed system in randomized complete block design with three replications. The varieties were evaluated for yield and yield components with some phenological and physiological parameters. The effects of raised bed system over two years were significant for all the parameters. The highest mean yield over tillage method was produced by varieties BARI Gom 27 and Shatabdi followed by BARI Gom 26 and Bijoy varieties. These varieties produced satisfactory yields in raised bed methods. The lowest yielder varieties were Prodip and BARI Gom 25. Considering the overall growth, yield and other characters of three varieties like BARI Gom 27, Shatabdi and Bijoy have been provisionally selected at Rajshahi region as in wheat growing areas in Bangladesh.

Keywords: Growth, Yield , Wheat varieties, Raised bed system

Location: Regional Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Rajshahi.

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Wheat

Objectives:

To select the suitable varieties under raised bed system in drought prone area.

Methodology:

The trail was conducted with recently released six wheat varieties at the Regional Wheat Research Centre, BARI, Rajshahi in 2012-13 and 2013-14. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Seeds were sown by bed planter with 25 meter long x 2.4 m wide with 8 rows for six varieties namely Shatabdi, Prodip, Bijoy, BARI Gom 25, 26 and 27. Wheat Research Centre recommended management practices were followed to raise the crop with irrigation and other practices. Data were recorded on different agronomic parameters as well as phenological and physiological characteristics. At maturity, four rows with 2 m long plot size were harvested to estimate grain yield expressed as ton per hectare. The collected data were analyzed with Crop Stat Model and means were compared by MSTAT C model.

Achievement/Findings:

Based on the overall performance of both phenological and yield attributes on six whet varieties, it was concluded that Shatabdi, Bijoy, BARI Gom 26 and BARI Gom 27 performed the best under raised bed condition. On the other hand, Prodip and BARI Gom 25 were the least performer under raised bed system.
