Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This study was undertaken to know the existing status of BARI released mango varieties in contrast with other varieties in the field level. Three large commercial firms having mother orchard mango trees at Dinajpur (Basherhat), Nilphamari (Chilahati) and Manikganj (Nayadingi) were selected purposively. More than forty varieties were found in the surveyed commercial firms and among the ten BARI mango varieties, four varieties namely BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3 and BARI Aam-4 were found there. Among all the varieties, BARI Aam-3 appeared to be the best in all the firms in terms of last four year sale of stions (stock+scion), of which amount of sale was much higher than that of other remaining varieties’ accumulated sale. Hence, it is easily comprehended that BARI Aam-3 is likely to be the single most popular variety to be unparallel with any other variety. BARI Aam-3 is the glory of BARI. Apart from this variety, Kiozoi, Haribhanga, BARI Aam-4 and Mohachanak were identified as the most promising varieties. However, BARI Aam-3 is known as Amropali not as BARI Aam-3 in the field. People even do not know that this variety is a BARI released variety. Therefore, initiative should be taken to acquaint this excellent variety as BARI Aam-3 in the field.

Objectives:

To know the existing status of BARI released mango varieties in contrast with other varieties in the field level.

Methodology:

Generally, we determine the economic performance or economic impact of the varieties of a cereal crop at farm level through area adoption along with their yield and return. To be precise, in calculating economic impact, we attempt to find out the variety in question replace which previous varieties in terms of area and how higher yield it gives over the varieties being replaced (yield advantage). On the other hand, unlike cereal crop, the determination of area adoption or number of tree growing status of perennial crop like mango at farm level is very difficult almost impossible. Therefore, it is important to find out the alternative ways of assessing the economic performance of perennial tree compared to other trees at farm level. However, some commercial firms in our country, having developed mother orchard mango trees, sell stions (stock+scions) at large scale to the growers. Hence, it could be one of the ways of assessing the performance of the varieties of mango at field level by knowing the amount of sale of stions of those varieties from the commercial centers to the growers. Therefore, sale of stions was used as the performance indicator of the varieties in this study. Because, growers will mainly buy and produce those varieties, which have consumer demand. As such, three large commercial centers having mother orchard mango trees, namely, Dinajpur (Basherhat), Nilphamari (Chilahati) and Manikganj (Nayadingi) were selected purposively.

Achievement/Findings:

BARI Aam-3 appeared to be the best in all the firms in terms of sale of stions (last four year sale), which is well above the other varieties’ sale. Its amount of sale is higher than that of other remaining varieties’ collective sale in all the three firms. Hence, it is easily comprehended that BARI Aam-3 will become the single most popular variety to be unparallel with any other variety. BARI Aam-3 is the glory of BARI. It can be implied from the study that BARI Aam-3 had an important role behind increase in the area and production of mango cultivation in Bangladesh. As stated earlier, this variety is known as Amropali not as BARI Aam-3 in the field. People do not know that this variety is a BARI released variety. Therefore, initiative should be taken to acquaint this excellent variety as BARI Aam-3 in the field.
