Collection and Evaluation of Some Pomegranate Germplasm

M. A. Alam

M. S. Islam

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Twelve germplasms of pomegranate were evaluated for their performance at RHRS, Chapai Nawabganj in the year of 2013-14. Three of those were collected through “Fruit Fair 2006” held at this station. Rest of the germplasm (fruits) was collected from different market places of Chapai Nawabganj and Rajshahi. A wide variation was observed among the genotypes. The highest number of fruits was produced in PG Cha-004 followed by PG Cha-012. The biggest fruit was obtained from PG Cha-004 whereas the lightest fruit was found in PG Cha-008. Percent edible portion was noted maximum in PG Cha-012 whereas the minimum edible portion was found in PG Cha-008. Total soluble solid content was recorded the highest in PG Cha-012 (00%) while PG Cha-002 had the lowest. PG Cha-004 produced large sized arils whereas PG Cha-010, PG Cha-011 and PG Cha-012 produced soft seeded arils. PG Cha-004 was found the best yielder followed by PG Cha-012.

Keywords: Pomegranate germpllasm, Fruit characteristics, Yield

Location: Regional Horticulture Research Station, BARI, Chapai Nawabganj.

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Pomegranate

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of pomegranate germplasm.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Regional Horticulture Research Station, BARI, Chapai Nawabganj. Three germplasm PG Cha-002, PG Cha-004 and PG Cha-008 were selected locally through “Fruit Fair 2006” inviting the farmers at this campus and others (fruits) were procured from different market places of Chapai Nawabganj and Rajshahi. The grafts of selected materials were collected and the saplings from the seeds were prepared and planted in the orchard to see their performance. Among the germplasm, fruits of six accessions were ripen. The individual plants within an accession were found to be similar with fruit characteristics. Data on qualitative and quantitative characteristics were recorded.
