Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Horticulture Division farm, BINA, Mymensingh on effect of different accessions on yield contributing characters and yield of strawberry under different growing conditions during October, 2016 to April, 2017. The two factor experiment had two levels of planting conditions (Factor A) and three strawberry accessions (Factor B) as follows –Factor A- Planting conditions: a) pot condition and b) field condition and Factor B – strawberry accessions: accession-1 ( RABI strawberry-1), accession-2 (New York, USA) and accession-3 (Kagawa, Japan). The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Results showed that accession-2 revealed the highest results almost all yield contribution characters and yield parameters. The tallest plant (29.78 cm), the highest number of leaves (46.35), longest leaf (26.58 cm), no. of inflorescences (15.95), number of flowers per inflorescence (8.21), number of fruit per inflorescences (7.45), diameter of fruit (4.25 cm), fresh weight of fruit (22.17 g), total soluble solids (18.54 %), yield (g/plot) (400.3 g) and yield per hectare (21.72 t/ha) were recorded from accession-2. But number of seeds per fruit (217.0) was observed from accession -1. The lowest values were found on all the mentioned parameters in accession-3.The significant difference between the growing conditions was observed on all the mentioned parameters. The highest yield (20.12 t/ha) per hectare and yield contributing characters were noted in field condition and the lowest values on all the mentioned parameters were obtained in pot condition. Statistically significant variations were found on all the mentioned parameters due to combined effect. The tallest plant (30.33 cm), highest number of leaves per plant (47.36), longest leaf (27.64 cm), number of inflorescences (16.66), number of flowers per inflorescences (8.99), number of fruit per inflorescences (7.68), individual weight of fruit (25.19 g), total soluble solids (18.98), yield per plot (482.6 g), yield per hectare (24.37t/ha) were found in accession-2 under field condition. The highest diameter of fruit (4.50 cm) was found in accession-3 in field condition which was statistically similar with accession-2 both in field condition and pot condition. The maximum number of seeds per fruit (217.0) was recorded from accession-3 both in pot and field condition. But accession-2 gave the minimum number of seeds per fruit (118.0) under field condition.

Start Date: 00-10-2016

End Date: 00-04-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Strawberry

Objectives:

1) to assess and select appropriate germplasm for a potential growth and yield of strawberry and

(2) to select the appropriate growing condition for increased growth and yield.

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted at BINA Head Quarter, Horticulture Division farm, Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), Mymensingh on the effect of different accession on yield contributing characters and yield of strawberry under different growing condition during October, 2016 to April 2017. The 2-factor experiment had two levels of planting conditions (Factor A) and three strawberry accessions (Factor B) as follows –Factor A- Planting conditions: a) pot condition and b) field condition; Factor B – strawberry accessions: accession-1 (RABI strawberry-1), accession-2 (New York, USA) and accession-3 (Kagawa, Japan).The pot size was 1 feet × 11". For field condition, unit plot size was 1.5m × 1m; plant spacing: 50 cm × 20 cm; total number of treatments: 2×3 = 6; total number of unit plots: 6×3 =18; total number of plants per plot = 24; date of planting: 9 Nov., 2016. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. Three strawberry accessions where RABI strawberry-1 collected from Department of Botany, Rajshahi University; New York and Kagawa variety collected from USA and Japan, respectively were used as planting materials. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. The following data (height of plant, number of leaves per plant, length of longest leaf per plant, number of inflorescence per plant, number of flower per inflorescences, number of fruit per inflorescence, diameter of fruit, fresh weight of individual fruit per plant, TSS, number of seeds per fruit, yield per plot and yield per hectare) on physio- morphological growth parameters after planting as well as on yield were recorded and continued up to final harvest. The means for all treatments were calculated and the analyses of variances for all the characters under consideration were performed by 'F' variance test. The significance of difference between pair of means was performed by Least Significant Difference (LSD) test taking 5% probability level as the minimum unit of significance (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

Statistically significant variations were found on all the mentioned parameters due to combined effect. The tallest plant (30.33 cm), highest number of leaves per plant (47.36), longest leaf (27.64 cm), number of inflorescences (16.66), number of flowers per inflorescences (8.99), number of fruit per inflorescences (7.68), individual weight of fruit (25.19 g), total soluble solids (18.98), yield per plot (482.6 g), yield per hectare (24.37t/ha) were found in accession-2 under field condition. The highest diameter of fruit (4.50 cm) was found in accession-3 in field condition which was statistically similar with accession-2 both in field condition and pot condition. The maximum number of seeds per fruit (217.0) was recorded from accession-3 both in pot and field condition. But accession-2 gave the minimum number of seeds per fruit (118.0) under field condition. Considering the findings of the experiments under study, the following practices may be recommended for strawberry production in Bangladesh: Accession-2 (New York, USA) and field growing condition are mostly suitable for production in Bangladesh. However, further investigation is necessary to same experiments.
