Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at Regional Horticulture Research Station, BARI Shibpur, Narsingdi, during the Rabi season of 2017-2018. There are four treatments that were 21 days, 28 days, 35 days and 42 days age of transplanting the seedling. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three replications. Considering plant height (61.78 cm), individual fruit weight (110.50g), marketable fruit number (16.89) and yield (28.73 ton/ ha) was found in 21 days the age of seedling which was followed by 28 days and 35 days the age of seedling yield respectively 19.05 ton/ ha and 17.33 ton /ha. The lowest yield 5.79 ton/ha was recorded in 42 days of the age of seedling at transplants. From the result of this experiment, it may be concluded that 21 days the age of seedling at transplants growth and yield was the better performance of others age of seedling at transplants of BARI Mistimorich 1 variety.

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Capsicum

Objectives:

To ascertain the optimum age of transplants for maximization of fruit yield and seed production at Narsingdi region.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at Regional Horticulture Research Station, BARI Shibpur, Narsingdi, during the Rabi season of 2017-2018. Different age of transplant seedlings was started from 21 days old seedlings with a gap of seven days. There are four treatments that were T₁=21 days, T₂=28 days, T₃= 35 days and T₄= 42 days the age of transplanting seedlings. The days of fifty percent seed germination was considered as zero-day and successive days were counted for deciding seedling age. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three replications. The variety BARI Mistimorich 1 was transplanted as per treatment. The unit plot size was 3.0 × 1.0 m and plants spacing 50 × 50 cm, there were ten plants in a unit plot. Cowdung, Urea, TSP, MOP, Gypsum and ZnO at the rate of 10-ton, 217 kg, 330 kg, 110 kg and 5 kg per hectare, respectively were applied. Half of the quantity of Cowdung was applied during final land preparation. The remaining Cowdung, the entire quantity of TSP, ZnO, Gypsum and one-third of urea and MOP were applied during pit preparation. The rest of Urea and MOP were applied in two equal installments at 25 and 50 days after transplanting in the main field. The intercultural operations such as weeding, irrigation, etc. were done as and when needed. Inside tunnel cover with polythene and nylon net, the night temperature was as high as 5-9 ⁰c compared to open field and other treatments, during December to March when the crop attained at vegetative and fruiting stage. All the practices in raising healthy seedlings were taken and seedlings of required aged transplant. After maturing randomly 5 plants were harvested to record the plant and yield contributing characters. Mean data were analyzed statistically and was carried out to analysis of variance using the STAR program.

Achievement/Findings:

Considering plant height (61.78 cm), individual fruit weight (110.50g), marketable fruit number (16.89) and yield (28.73 ton/ha) was found in 21 days the age of seedling which was followed by 28 days and 35days age of seedling yield respectively 19.05 ton/ ha and 17.33 ton /ha. The lowest yield 5.79 ton/ha was recorded in 42 days of the age of seedling at transplants. It may be concluded that 21 days age of seedling at transplants was found best-regarding growth and yield of others the age of seedling at transplants of BARI Mistimorich 1 variety. This is the 1^st year data, the result was also check in the next year to confirm the effect of age of transplanting the seedling.
