Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This study of three selected hybrids of sweet pepper (F₁6×8, F₁7×8, F₁8×9) with a check was conducted at the farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the winter season of 2017-18. The hybrid 6×8 took the minimum days to 1st harvest (64.92 days). The highest number of fruits per plant (27.25) was recorded from F₁7×8. The heaviest fruits (115.8g) were obtained from F₁8×9. Fruit weight per plant was found maximum (2.63kg) in F₁7×8 followed by the F₁6×8 (1.53kg). The highest yield was produced by F₁1×2 (51.15 t/ha) followed by the F₁2×3 (29.23 t/ha). Minimum infestation by fruit borer (1.01%) was observed in F₁6 ×8, This hybrid line also performed well against whitefly and mite infestation. All the studied lines have differed in various colors, which are varied from red to yellow in mature stage. These three hybrids F₁6×8, F₁7×8 F₁8×9 were found promising for earliness, high yield, color variation and insect pest reaction. So these three lines may be recommended for further evaluation for their yield and quality.

Location: Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-11-2017

End Date: 00-03-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Sweet Pepper

Objectives:

To develop hybrid variety of sweet pepper.

Methodology:

The experiment was designed in the research field of the Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur from November 2017 to March 2018. Three hybrids (F₁ 6×8, F₁7×8, F₁8×9) selected from the previous year with one commercial F₁ as the check was included in the study. Seeds were sown on the seedbed on 2^nd November 2017. Ten days after sowings, seedlings attained 2-3 leaf stage, after that transferred to the polybag (12.75 ´ 10.15 cm) having potting media comprising soil. Thirty days-old healthy seedlings were transplanted in the field on 28^th November 2017. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCB) with four replications. The unit plot size was 3.2 ´ 1.0 m and the plants were placed at 50 ´ 60 cm there were sixteen plants in a unit plot. The adjacent blocks and the adjacent plots were separated from one another by 1.0 m and 0.5 m, respectively. Cowdung,-N-P-K-S-Zn@ 10t-101-66-100-20-2 kg per hectare respectively were applied. Half of the quantity of cow-dung was applied during final land preparation. The remaining half of cow-dung, the entire quantity of P, Zn, S and one-third each of N and K were applied during pit preparation. The rest of N and K were applied in two equal splits, 25 and 50 days after transplanting in the main field. Other cultural operations such as irrigating at different growth stages, weeding, mulching of the pit soil etc. were done as and when needed. The recorded data for different characters were analyzed statistically using MSTAT program to find out the variation among the different lines by F-test. Treatment means were compared by DMRT for interpretation of results.

Achievement/Findings:

The results of the present study revealed that all the hybrids F₁6×8, F₁7×8, and F₁8×9 were found promising for earliness, high yield, color variation and insect pest reaction. And these three lines may be recommended for further evaluation in the next year for the developing of hybrid sweet pepper variety.
