Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the off-season mango germplasm (MI Kha 001 and MI Kha-002 at the Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during 2013-14. The Germplasm MI Kha-001 had the maximum plant height (3.20 m) and the minimum plant height (1.70m) was obtained in MI Kha-002. The highest canopy spread 2.25 m at north-south and 2.38m at east-west was obtained in MI Kha-001. The full blooming period was June 13 and January 14. The tree habit was spreading type. Fruit harvesting period was December and May, respectively. The highest fruits per plant were obtained from MI Kha-001 (66) during January 14 and the lowest in June 13 (18). The Maximum fruit weight was recorded from MI Kha-001 during June13 (560 g) and the minimum was recorded in January 14 (280g). Total Soluble Solids (TSS) was noted the highest in MI Kha-001 during June flowering (19.0%). Edible portion was found 66.61% in MI Kha-001. The highest yield (18.48kg) was obtained from MI Kha-001 during January flowering while the germplasm gave 10.08kg yield during June flowering.

Location: Hill Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Khagrachari

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To evaluate the germplasm suitable for twice flowering in a year to get mango in the off-season.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during 2013-14. Two germplasm of mango were included in this study. These were MI Kha-001 and MI Kha-002. The trees were fertilizered with recommended doses of manure and fertilizers (Hossain,1989) at the end of April and September. In addition each plant was fertilized with 100g urea, 100g TSP, 100g MOP, 50g zinc sulphate and 50g boron with irrigation at the reproductive stage of the plant, Intercultural operations such as weeding and ploughing were done in the month of September, December, March, May and July, Regular irrigations at 15 days and 30 days interval were applied at blooming stage and fruiting stage, respectively, Ripcord @ 1 ml and Tilt 250 EC@ 0.5 ml per liter of water were applied twice to control hopper and anthracnose. Sumithion 1ml/L and feromon trap were applied to control fruit weevil and fruit fly respectively. Necessary actions were taken against other pests and diseases as and when needed. Data on tree growth as well as quantitative and qualitative characteristics of fruit was recorded. No. severe incidence of insect and diseases were noticed during the study.
