Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted to evaluate the selected early hyacinth bean lines with check variety. BARI Sheem 1 and BARI Sheem 4 at the central research farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur during winter season of 2014-15 to observe their yield and yield potentiality. The lines differed significantly for their response to all most all the characters including check variety. In case of days to 50% flowering, the selected line MZ Black 2 produced flower earlier (41 days) followed by the line CB 0160 (44 days), while the check varieties BARI Sheem 1 and BARI Sheem 4 needed longer times for flowering (66 and 80 days respectively). The maximum number of pods per plant (530) was produced by the line MZ Black 2 followed by BARI sheem-1 (440) and the minimum in BARI Sheem 4 (229). The check variety gave the highest pod yield (17.48 t/ha) closely followed by the line MZ Black 2 (16.91 t/ha), CB 0160 (12.78 t/ha) and the lowest yield in BARI Sheem 4 (10.76 t/ha). Considering higher yield, earliness and quality of pods the lines MZ Black 2 and CB 0160 may be selected for further evaluation to develop as an early high yielding hyacinth bean variety.

Keywords: Hyacinth bean, Yield, Yield contributing characters

Location: HRC, BARI, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2014

End Date: 00-00-2015

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Hyacinth bean

Objectives:

To find out early pod producing high yielding variety to get higher market price as well as for early home consumption.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the research farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during Rabi season of 2014-2015. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Three selected hyacinth bean lines viz. MZ Black 2, CB 0160 and CB 0091 with check variety BARI Sheem 1 and BARI Sheem 4 were included in this experiment. The seeds were sown on August 27, 2014. Eighteen days old seedlings were transplanted in the experimental field maintaining 2.0 x 1.5 m spacing. The land was fertilized with Cowdung, N, P and K @ 10000, 28, 40 and 75 kg/ha respectively. Half of the quantity of cowdung was applied during the land preparation. The remaining half of the cowdung, entire amount of P and half of N and K were applied during pit preparation. The rest of N and K were applied as top dressing at 30 days after transplanting. Weeding, irrigation and other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Pods were harvested started from 78 days after transplanting. Data were recorded on yield and yield contributing characters and analyzed statistically.
