Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Olericulture Division, HRC, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during the summer season of 2016 to evaluate the performance of six sponge gourd advance lines. The lines were LC 1-7-8-1-4, LC 3-8-2-1-1, LC 3-8-10-5-2, LC 1-1-3, LC 13-1-3, and LC 9-4-1-4. Wide ranges of variability were found in the studied characters among the genotypes except node order of 1^st male flower open and single fruit wt. (g). Maximum total number of fruits per plant was found from LC 1-1-3(50.13) which were statistically similar to LC 13-1-3(243) and LC 3-8-10-5-2(236) while minimum from LC 1-7-8-1-4 (152). The LC 1-1-3 lines provided maximum marketable yield (37.28 t/ha) followed by LC 3-8-10-5-2 (36.50 t/ha), LC 13-1-3 (34.98 t/ha), LC 3-8-2-1-1 (34.24 t/ha) and minimum from LC 1-7-8-1-4(21.84 t/ha). Considering the number of fruits/plant, fruit diameter, yield (t/ha) and some other characters. LC 1-1-3, LC 3-8-10-5-2, LC 13-1-3andL LC 3-8-2-1-1 lines showed better performance. So above lines may be considered for regional year trial for next year.

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Sponge gourd

Objectives:

To study the performances of six advance sponge gourd lines.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Olericulture Division, HRC, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during the summer season of 2016. The seeds of six advance sponge gourd lines were sown on the polybag on 15 May, 2016. Twenty one days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field on 06 June, 2016. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. The unit plant size was 10 m x 1.0 m having single row and 5 plants per plant. The seedlings were transplanted maintaining 2.0 x 1.0 m spacing. The unit plant and blocks both were separated by 60 cm respectively. The land was fertilized with cowdung, N, P, K, S, Zn and B @ 10000, 80.65, 35.00, 75.00, 18.00, 4.30 and 1.70 kg/ha, respectively. One third of the cowdung and half of P and full of S, Zn and B are to be applied during final land preparation. Rest of cow-dung and P and 1/3 of K were applied as basal in pit. Each of N and K @ 50 kg/ha applied after 20 days of transplanting. After that, rest of N and K in 3 and 2 equal installments respectively applied at 20 days interval. The intercultural operations (weeding, irrigation, insecticide spray etc.) were done as and when necessary. Data on days to 1^st male flower open, days to 1st female flower open, node order of 1^st male flower open, node order of 1^st female flower open, days to 1^stharvest, duration of harvest, number of fruits, individual fruit weight (g), yield (kg/plant), fruit length (cm) and fruit diameter (cm) were recorded from each plants per entry per replication. The information on different characters was statistically analyzed.

Achievement/Findings:

Considering earliness, number of fruits/plant, fruit length and diameter, yield/plant LC 1-1-3, LC 3-8-10-5-2, LC 13-1-3, and LC 3-8-2-1-1 were found more promising. Other two lines LC 9-4-1-4, LC 1-7-8-1-4 may utilize as good breeding material. However, four lines viz. LC 1-1-3, LC 3-8-10-5-2, LC 13-1-3, and LC 3-8-2-1-1 have been considered for next year regional yield trial.
