Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Twenty eight types of underutilized indigenous vegetables (14 vegetable 14 medicinal) were put under observational trial as monoculture to assess their performance in respect of yield, seed production trend and agronomic practice for growing different time of the year during 2012-13. The yield potentiality of Bathua - green (17.32 t/ha), Bathua - red (19.70 t/ha), Thankuni (1.60 t/ha), NafaShak (5.20 t/ha), Pudina (3.15 t/ha), Nunia (16.75 t/ha), Malancha (7.90 t/ha), Helencha (5.60 t/ha), ShialmutraShak (16.85 t/ha), Shaknotey (21.30 t/ha), Katanotey (23.10 t/ha) and Pat Shak (1.25 t/ha). Effort on growing of telakucha through seed and vine cutting at three times of the year was trialed. It was observed that means of propagation as seed is not feasible but vine cutting as means of propagation is suitable for year round production of telakucha. However, further studies are required for the standardization of their production practices. More, fifteen types of indigenous medicinal herbs had been collected and are being multiplying for further study.

Keywords: Indigenous vegetables, Yield, Seed production trend, Agronomic practices

Location: Vegetable research field of HRC, BARI, Joydebpur

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Vegetables

Objectives:

To assess the performance of indigenous vegetables in respect of yield, seed production trend and agronomic practices for growing them in different time of the year.

Methodology:

The study was undertaken at vegetable research field of HRC, BARI, Joydebpur during year round of 2012-13. Under this program 28 species were collected from across the country. The species were put under a non-replicated observational trial in the experimental field. The unit plot size was 3.0x1.0 m. Seeds were sown and the cuttings were transplanted in the field in different month of the year of 2011-12. Manures and fertilizers were applied as per requirement (base on symptoms specific). Irrigation and other intercultural operation were done as and when necessary.
