Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted with two selected pumpkin hybrids from RYT with a check variety (BARI Mistikumra 1) at Olericulture Division, HRC experimental field during the winter season of 2017-18 to confirm the yield potentialities and disease reaction of the selected hybrids. Selected two hybrids showed better performance than the check variety. So, these two hybrids maybe release as new hybrids.

Keywords: Vegetables, Pumpkin, Pumpkin hybrid, Disease

Location: Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur, Garizpur-1701, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Pumpkin

Objectives:

To confirm the yield potentialities and disease reaction of the selected hybrids.

Methodology:

The study consisted of two pumpkin hybrids and one check variety (BARI Hybrid Mistikumra 1) during the winter season of 2017-18 at the experimental field of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI. Twenty-two days old seedlings were transplanted in the main field. The trial was established in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Each replication comprised of five plants. The unit plot size was 3.0 x 15 m maintaining 3.0 x 3.0 m plant spacing within the bed. Fifty cm drain was kept between the plots. Land was fertilized with cowdung, N, P, K S, Zn and B @ 5000, 78, 35, 75, 18, 4.3 and 2 kg/hectare respectively. Total amount of cowdung, P, S, Zn, B and 1/3 of K were applied during pit preparation. The rest of K was applied in two equal installments at 10 and 20 days after transplanting. N was applied in four equal installments at 10, 25, 40, and 55 days after transplanting. The intercultural operations were done as and when necessary.

Data was recorded on twelve quantitative and qualitative characters which were days to 1^st male flower, days to 1^st female flower, node order at 1^st male flower open, node order at 1^st female flower open, fruit length (cm), fruit breadth (cm), flesh thickness (cm), average fruit weight (kg), number of fruits per plant, yield per plant (kg), yield (t/ha) and virus incidence (%).
