Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted with 85 stem amaranth lines at the research field of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during Kharif 1 season of 2017 with a view to develop winter, early and late summer and high fiber containing variety of stem amaranth. Out of 85 lines, 5 lines were leafy nature and 17 lines were similar in respect of leaf shape and colour and other 21 produced flowers at early stage (8-10 leaf stage). Finally, study was conducted with 42 lines and BARI Data 1 (as check). Based on earliness, yield potentiality, stem length and stem nature lines were categorized into three groups. Among 43 lines/variety, ranges of plant height (38.60-99.30cm), leaf length (9.60-19.0cm), leaf breadth (5.0-12.60cm), individual stem weight (40.0-373.50g) and yield per hectare (8.0-55.99 t) were recorded. 16 lines required below 40 days required to harvest, 17 lines required 40-50 days and 10 lines required more than 55 days to harvest. On the basis of yield per hectare, 23 lines produced less than 20 tons, 9 lines produced 20-30 tons and 11 lines produced more than 30 tons. In the case of growth nature, 7 lines showed short growth, 32 lines were medium growth and 4 lines showed long growth. In the case of pigmentation; pink, red and green were identified. Branchless, few branches and all along branches these three characters were also observed. All the lines showed erect nature, stem were conspicuous. From the study it may be concluded that on the basis of qualitative and quantitative characters nineteen lines AM-0001, AM-0005, AM-0014, AM-0047, AM-0048, AM-0049, AM-0050, AM-0054, AM-0055, AM-0058, AM-0068, AM-0010, AM-0009, AM-0011, AM-0015, AM-0024, AM-0039, AM-0059, AM-0060 were selected for further evaluation.

Keywords: Amaranth, Evaluation, Manures and fertilizers

Location: Olericulture Division, Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Amaranth

Objectives:

To develop early summer and late summer and high fiber containing’ stem amaranth variety.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during Kharif 1 season 2017. The seeds of 85 stem amaranth lines were collected from PGRC and different region of Bangladesh. BARI Data 1 was used as check. At four leaf stage thinning done on the basis of leaf characters and growth nature. Out of 85 lines, 5 lines were leafy nature and 17 lines were similar in respect of leaf colour and shape and other 21 produced flowers at early stage (8-10 leaf stage). Finally, study was conducted with 42 lines and seeds were sown on 15 February, 2017. The non replicated evaluation trial was laid out in 1 x 3 m unit plot maintaining 20 cm x 25 cm plant to plant spacing. Manures and fertilizers were applied at the rate of cowdung-urea,-TSP-MoP @ 10 t-100-150 kg/ha. Total cowdung and TSP were applied during final land preparation. Urea and Mop were applied as top dress in two split. First top dress was applied at 4 leaves stage followed by thinning and maintaining 25 cm plant to plant spacing. Second top dress was done at 21 days after sowing. Irrigation and other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary.
