Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A production program was conducted at the farmer's field of ICM club members, Baliaghat, Puthia, Rajshahi during 2011-2012 to popularize the wheat variety among the farmers. There were two varieties viz .. BARI Gam 23 (Bijoy) and BARl Gam 26 in the program. Between the tested varieties, higher yield was obtained from BARl Gam zo (4.56 t ha^-1) than that of BARI Gam 23 (4.51 t ha^-1)

Keywords: Wheat, Variety, Yield

Location: Baliaghat, Puthia, Rajshahi

Start Date: 00-00-2011

End Date: 00-00-2012

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Wheat

Objectives:

To popularize the wheat variety among the farmers.

Methodology:

The field trial was conducted at the farmer's field of ICM club members, Baliaghat, Puthia, Rajshahi during rabi 2011-12 to select the suitable variety of wheat for Puthia. Lands were selected with the help of local DAE personnel. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with six dispersed replications. There were Two varieties ie., BARI Gam 23 (Bijoy) and BARI Gam 26. The unit plot size was 4m x Sm. The seeds were sown continuously in 20 cm row to row distance. Seeds were sown on 24 -30 November 2011. The seed rate was used 120 kg ha^-1. The lands were fertilized as BARI recommended dose ic., 11 0-22-60-15-4-1, N-P-K-S-Zn-B kg ha^-1 in the form of urea, triple super phosphate, muriate of potash, gypsum, zinc oxide and boric acid, respectively. Two third of urea and all other fertilizers were applied as basal at final land preparation and rest one third urea was top dressed after first irrigation at 21 days after sowing (DAS). Irrigations were done at two times at 20 DAS and 45 DAS. Weeding was done at 35 DAS. The crop was harvested on 23-25 March 2012. The seed yield and yield components of wheat were recorded and analyzed statistically.

Achievement/Findings:

The result revealed that the yield contributing characters were significantly different between the varieties. The significantly lower plant height (96.11cm) was recorded in BARI Gam 26 and higher (104.40 cm) in Bijoy. Higher straw yield (6.56 t ha^-1) were found from Bijoy and lower in BARI Gam 26 (6.40 t ha^-1). It is due to advantage of plant height in the variety BARl Gom 23 (Bijoy). Except plant height and straw yield, all the parameters in BARI Gam 26 (spike/m²: 346.77, TGW; 47.27g and yield 4.56 t/ha) were found higher than those of Bijoy (spike/m²: 346.65, TGW: 47.01 g, yield: 4.51 t/ha).
