Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station (ARS), BARI, Benarpota, Satkhira during the rabi season of 2017-18 to find out the suitable short duration lentil genotypes for better crop growth, adaptation and yield in the saline areas. There were 5 lentil genotypes viz. LRIL-22-205, LRIL-22-133, LRIL-22-68, BLX-05008-15 and LRIL-22-70. The highest seed yield (0.36 t/ha) was recorded in LRIL-22-70 which was statistically similar with LRIL-22-68 and BLX-05008-15 but significantly higher than rest of the varieties/lines. Number of day’s required to maturity was highest in BLX-05008-15 which was statistically different from all other lines. LRIL-22-70 can be a promising high yielding line for coastal areas of Bangladesh due to its high yield and short duration capacity than all other lines.

Keywords: Lentil, Genotypes, Saline Area, Coastal area

Location: Agricultural Research Station (ARS), BARI, Benarpota, Satkhira

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Lentil

Objectives:

To find out the suitable short duration lentil genotype for better crop growth and yield.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station (ARS), BARI, Benarpota, Satkhira during the rabi season of 2017-18 to find out the suitable short duration lentil genotypes for better crop growth, adaptation and yield in the saline areas. The soil belonged to the AEZ-11 and AEZ -13. The land topography was medium high. The soil of the experimental field is clay loam in texture. There were 5 lentil genotypes viz. LRIL-22-205, LRIL-22-133, LRIL-22-68, BLX-05008-15 and LRIL-22-70.The unit plot size was 3m X 3m. Seeds were sown in the field in 28 November 2016. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with 3 replications. Recommended doses of Fertilizers @ 14-20-20-10 kg/ha of NPKS was applied as basal during final land preparation. Weeding and other intercultural operations were done when necessary. The crop was harvested at the time of maturity. At every 15 days interval soil and water salinity (dS/m) were measured by EC meter (HANNA: HI 9835). Data on yield and yield contributing characters were recorded and analyzed statistically using MSTAT-C program.

Achievement/Findings:

LRIL-22-70 can be a promising high yielding line for coastal areas of Bangladesh due to its high yield and short duration capacity than all other lines. It is the first year of the experiment. It would be continued for 2-3 years for final recommendation.
