Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was carried out and fruit characteristics were studied in the laboratory of the Horticulture Research Centre, RARS, BARI, Jamalpur during February 2014 to May 2015. Six local and exotic genotypes were included in the study. Significant differences were observed among all the local and exotic lines in respect of all vegetative, finger and yield characters. The line SB-3 produced the tallest plant (5.65 m) and SB-6 the shortest plant (4.27 m). Base girth and number of leaves were found maximum in SB-10 (61.11 cm) and SB-3 (9.33), respectively. The line SB-3 exhibited the highest bunch weight (23.08 kg) & number of hands per bunch (14.50.) The highest average weight of individual hand (2.06 kg) was found in SB-10. The length and breadth of bunch were noted maximum in the line SB-3 (60.83 cm and 44.00 cm), respectively. Number of fingers per hand was noted highest in SB-9 (15.16). SB-10 exhibited the biggest finger (215.53 g) as against the smallest finger in SB-ISD-01 (101.67 g). The line SB-3 gave maximum yield (54.18 t/ha), while SB-4 exhibited minimum yield (33.53 t/ha).

Start Date: 00-02-2014

End Date: 00-05-2015

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Banana

Objectives:

To evaluate the yield potential and fruit characters of the local and exotic Banana lines under Jamalpur condition.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out to study the fruit characteristics in the laboratory of the Horticulture Research Centre, RARS, BARI, Jamalpur during the period from February 2014 to May 2015. Six local and exotic genotypes were included in the study. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD with three replications. The suckers were planted in pits, at a spacing of 2 x 2m after trimming of their roots on February, 2014. Unit plot size was 4 x 4 m accommodating 4 plants. Fertilizers were applied @ cowdung 10 kg, TSP 150g, gypsum 100g, MOP 100g, Boron 10g, ZnSO4 10g and MgSO4 10g per pit before planting the suckers. Urea and MOP were applied @ 875 and 850g per plant in five equal installments starting from two months after planting at 45 days interval. Weeding, desuckering and propping were done as and when necessary. Male buds were removed immediately after opening of flowers. Irrigation was done during dry period from November to May at one month interval. A fungicide knowin was sprayed @ 2 g/L to control Sigatoka leaf sopt disease of banana. Data in respect of vegetative, yield and fruit characters were recorded analyzed statistically in the method suggested by Gomez and Gomez (1984). Means were separate by DMRT.
