Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted to evaluate lime germplasm at the research field of Regional Horticulture Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Shibpur, Narsingdi with five lime germplasm which all are two years old vegetative sapling. Significant variation was observed in case of growth, yield contributing characters, yield and fruit quality of the germplasm studied. The highest plant height (2.45 m), base girth (0.13 m) and canopy spreading (1.78 x1.67 m2) were noted from the germplasm CA Nar-001. On the other hand,the lowest plant height (1.18 m), base girth (0.10 m) and canopy spreading (1.32x1.37 m2) was noted in CA Nar-003. Branching density was dense in CA Nar-001 and CA Nar-003 germplasm but sparse in CA Nar-002 and good in CA Nar-004 and CA Nar-005. Among the germplasm CA Nar-001 was found to free from disease whereas the other lines suffered from canker. Leaf miner was common in case of all the germplasm. Fruit size was the highest in CA Nar-001 (6.42x4.72 cm²) followed by CA Nar-002 (5.31x4.67 cm2). Irrespective of germplasm pulp color was found white. But juicy content high and strong fruit aroma was found in CA Nar-001. The highest edible portion (61.12%) recorded in CA Nar-001 and TSS (7.18%) was noticed from CA Nar-004

Location: Morphological Characterization and Assessment of Lime Germplasm in Narsingdi District

Start Date:

End Date: 00-05-2016

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Lemon

Objectives:

Nonetheless different genotype has a significant characteristic which is also needed to characterize. But there is only one recommended variety of lime. It is essential to find out significant variation so that there can be released as a wonderful variety. For this the above mentioned research work was conducted

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Regional Horticulture Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Shibpur, Narsingdi since May 2016. Five lime germplasm which all are two years of aged and vegetative propagated sapling wascollected from different locations of Narsingdi district. The plants were planted in a single row system giving the spacing 4 × 4 m accommodating 4 plants in each row. After pit preparation 15 days before planting of sapling, 12 kg cowdung, 90 g P and 25 g S were applied in pit as basal dose and mixed thoroughly with the soil followed by irrigation. After planting each plant was fertilized in three equal splits, during February, April-May and September-October and the dose was 20 kg cowdung, 180 g N, 135 g P, 150 g K, 20 g S, 60 g Zn, 2.0 g B,4.0 g Zn and 1.0 g B (Fertilizer Recommendation Guide, 2012). Weeding was done in rainy season before applying fertilizer. Data of different growth characteristics were analyzed and means were separated by STAR computer program.
