Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The research work was conducted at the experimental plot of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Pakhimara, Kolapara, Patuakhali during the kharif season of 2017 to study the growth and yield performance of salt tolerant jute lines. Ten jute lines and one check variety were used for the study viz. (i) C-12221 x D-154, (ii) C-12033 x D-154, (iii) C-2234 x C-3070, (iv) C-2593 x C-2234, (v) C-3473 x C-2234, (vi) C-2593 x C-3070, (vii) C-2593 x D-154, (viii) C-12221 x C-3070, (ix) C-3473 x C-12221, (x) C-2593 x C-12033 and (xi) BJC-2197 (control). Data were recorded on mortality rate, plant height, base diameter, number of nodes/plant, intermodal length, fresh stem weight with leaves, fresh stem weight without leaves, dry stick weight and dry fibre weight. The experimental design was RCBD. Fresh stem weight with leaves and without leaves showed high heritability (94.70% and 81.68%, respectively) accompanied with low genetic advance in percentage of mean and the phenotypic variance (8.34 and 9.58, respectively) was higher than the genotypic variance (8.12 and 8.66, respectively). Among the characters the highest genotypic co-efficient of variation was recorded on mortality rate (20.84) followed by dry fibre weight, dry stick weight. Heritability in broad sense was low to high for all the studied characters, indicated the phenotypic expression. The genetic advance was very low to moderate. The significant positive correlation at the 1% level was observed for dry fibre weight with dry sick weight (0.834 and 0.588) and plant height (0.078 and 0.019) at both genotypic level and phenotypic level. In terms of yield and yield contributing characteristics C-2593 x D-154 can be treated as the best lines under the present study.

End Date: 00-10-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To know the genotypic variation and associations among the salt tolerant jute lines and also find out the superior line on the basis of yield and yield attributing performances for coastal belt of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The study was conducted with ten salt tolerant jute lines and one existing variety at the experimental field of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Pakhimara, Kolapara, Patuakhali, during the kharif season of 2017. Ten jute lines and one check variety were used for the study viz. (i) C-12221 x D-154, (ii) C-12033 x D-154, (iii) C-2234 x C-3070, (iv) C-2593 x C-2234, (v) C-3473 x C-2234, (vi) C-2593 x C-3070, (vii) C-2593 x D-154, (viii) C-12221 x C-3070, (ix) C-3473 x C-12221, (x) C-2593 x C-12033 and (xi) BJC2197 (control). These materials were collected from breeding division of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI), Dhaka, Bangladesh. Proper intercultural operations, plant protection measures and harvesting were done as per recommendation of BJRI. Ten plants in each line were selected randomly and were tagged. Data were collected on mortality rate (MR), plant height (PH), base diameter (BD), number of nodes/plant (NN), internodal length/plant (IL), fresh stem weight with leaves (FW1), fresh stem weight without leaves (FW2), dry stick weight (DSW) and dry fiber weight (DFW). All the collected data of the present study were used for statistical analyses. For each character, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Mean and Range were calculated by computer using MSTAT-C software; the mean values were separated by DMRT. Estimation of genetic parameters were calculated by following parenthesis formulae; genotypic, phenotypic and environmental variance (Johnson et al., 1955), genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation (Singh and Chowdhury, 1985), heritability in broad sense (Johnson et al., 1955), genetic advance (Comstock and Robinson, 1952) and correlation coefficient (Miller et al., 1958).

Achievement/Findings:

Significant variation was observed among the studied 10 jute lines and one check variety in respect of yield and yield contributing characters. In Bangladesh thousand hectares of land are fallow in saline condition. These fallow lands may be used for C-2593 x D-154 cultivation which had more efficient for salinity affected soil of Bangladesh. C-2593 x D-154, C-12221 x D-154, C-12033 x D-154 and C-12221 x C-3070 jute lines can also be selected for future breeding programme.
