Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The field trial was carried out at the farmer’s field of FSRD site, Kadamshahar, Godagari, Rajshahi during kharif-2 season 2016 to evaluate the high yielding blackgram genotypes in drought prone area. Six genotypes/varieties of blackgram viz. BBLX-08010-2-1, BBLX-08010-4-1, BBLX-02005-1, BBLX-07002-5, BBLX-07002-1 and BARI Mash-3 were tested in the farmer’s field. Among the tested genotypes/varieties BBLX-02005-1 gave the maximum seed yield (1.39 t ha^-1) followed by BARI Mash-3 (1.30 t ha^-1). The BBLX-07002-1 gave minimum seed yield (1.17 t ha^-1).

Keywords: Blackgram, Pulses, High Barind Tract, Blackgram genotypes,

Location: Farmer’s field of FSRD site, Kadamshahar, Godagari, Rajshahi districts, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2016

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Black gram

Objectives:

To identify the adaptive trail of Blackgram Genotypes in High Barind Tract.

Methodology:

An experiment on field screening for adaptability of blackgram was conducted at farmer’s field of FSRD site, Kadamshahar, Godagari, Rajshahi during kharif-2 season 2016. The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with three replications. The unit plot size was 8 rows x 4m. Treatment combinations were randomly assigned in each replication. The land was opened with a power tiller. Later on, ploughing and cross ploughing were done with country plough followed by laddering. Weeds, stubble and crop residues were removed. The land was fertilized with 20-40-20-10 N-P-K-S kg ha^-1 (BARC, 2012) in the form of urea, triple super phosphate, muriate of potash and gypsum, respectively at the time of final land preparation. Blackgram seeds were sown in 29 August, 2016. Weeding and thinning were done at 20 days after planting of blackgram seeds. First weeding was done at the time of first thinning and second weeding and thinning were done at 35 days after planting of blackgram seeds. No irrigation was applied during the experimental period as there was no symptom of moisture stress. To identify any change in plant characters and invasion of pests and disease the crop plots were frequently observed. When 80% of the pods turned brown in colour, the crop was assessed to attain maturity. The plant was harvested in 24 November, 2016. The collected data were analyzed statistically using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) for each of the characters under study was done by F (variance) ratio. The seed yield and yield components of chickpea were recorded and analyzed statistically following open source software R (R Core Team, 2017).

Achievement/Findings:

The performance of BBLX-02005-1 was better than tested genotypes/varieties at High Barind Tract. So, genotype BBLX-02005-1 may be recommended for blackgram production in High Barind Tract.
