Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Of the three saline locations, performance at Subarnachar, Noakhali was better than that of Patuakhali and Bhola for most of the traits because of lower salinity during the growing period. In contrast, of the two non-saline locations, performance at Ishurdi was the best of all for most of the traits including pod yield ha^-1. The two mutants and the two F₁₁ lines mostly had significantly dwarf height than both the check varieties at all locations. The mutant D₁/20/17-1 had significantly higher number of pod at Lalmonirhat, Natore and Bhola. In contrast, the other mutant RS/25/3-1 had significantly higher number of pod at Ishurdi and Patuakhali. Of the two F11 lines, the line GC(1)-24-1-1-2 had significantly higher number of pod at Jhenaidah and Patuakhali. At Lamonirhat, RS/25/3-1 at Jhenaidah Zhingabadam and at Bhola D₁/20/17-1 had higher pod yield plant^-1. D₁/20/17-1 had significantly higher pod yield ha^-1 than Dacca-1 at Rangpur, Lalmonirhat, Patuakhali and Bhola, RS/25/3-1 at Rangpur, Lalmonirhat, Ishurdi, Jhenaidah, Noakhali and Bhola, and GC(1)-24-1-1-2 at Lalmonirhat, Jhenaidah, Noakhali and Bhola. was recorded from the plot area of 20 m² which was later converted to t ha^-1.

Keywords: Groundnut, Saline area, Non saline area, Yield performance

Location: Five non –saline areas like Rangpur, Lalmonirhat, Ishurdi, Natore and Jhenaidah; and 3 saline areas like Noakhali, Patuakhali and Bhola

End Date:

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Ground nut

Objectives:

To assess the performances of the mutants/lines over saline and non-saline areas of Bangladesh

Methodology:

This experiment was performed to assess performance of two M₉mutants and two F₁₁ lines of groundnut over saline and non-saline areas of Bangladesh. The popular variety, Dacca-1 and Zhingabadam were also included in this experiment. The experiment was carried out following RCB design with three replications and a unit plot size was 5.0 m × 4.0 m. Recommended doses of fertilizers were applied together with recommended cultural and intercultural practices. Soil salinity records from the experiments at Noakhali, Patuakhali and Bhola were gathered during sowing, vegetative and flowering stages from top soil and 15 cm depth. Data on plant height, mature pod plant^-1and shelling percentage were recorded after harvest from randomly selected 5 competitive plants while pod weight plant^-1 and 100-pod weight were recorded after proper sun drying. Pod yield was recorded from the plot area of 20 m² which was later converted to t ha^-1.
