Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Twenty eight types of underutilized indigenous vegetable (12 vegetable and 16 medicinal) were put under observational trial to assess their performance in respect of yield, seed production and agronomic practice for growing different time of the year during 2016-17. The yield potentiality of Bathua - green (17.32 t/ha), Bathua - red (19.70 t/ha), Thankuni (1.60 t/ha), NafaShak (5.20 t/ha), Pudina (3.15 t/ha), Nunia (16.75 t/ha), Malancha (7.90 t/ha), Helencha (5.60 t/ha), Shialmutra Shak (16.85 t/ha), Shaknotey (21.30 t/ha), Katanotey (23.10 t/ha) and Pat Shak (1.25 t/ha). Effort on growing of telakucha through seed and vine cutting at three times of the year was under trial. It was observed that means of propagation as seed is not feasible but vine cutting as means of propagation is suiTable for year round production of telakucha. However, further studies are required for the standardization of their production practices. More, fifteen types of indigenous medicinal herbs have been collected and are being multiplying for further study.

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Conservation and Biodiversity

Commodity: Vegetables

Objectives:

To assess their performance in respect of yield, seed production and agronomic practice for growing different time.

Methodology:

The study was undertaken at vegetable research field of HRC, BARI, Joydebpur during year round of 2016-17. Under this program 28 species were collected from across the country. The species were put under a non-replicated observational trial in the experimental field. The unit plot size was 3.0 x 1.0 m. Seeds were sown and the cuttings were transplanted in the field in different month of the year of 2011-12. Manures and fertilizers were applied as per requirement (base on symptoms specific). Irrigation and other intercultural operation were done as and when necessary.

Achievement/Findings:

Considering the growth habit, yield, importance (nutritional & medicinal value- as mentioned in literature) and consumers’ acceptance among 30 species, six species such as Bathua (red and green), Chukur (purple and green), Thankuni, Mint/Pudina, Telakuchu and Lafa shak were selected for further detail study and other species will also be maintained .
