Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was carried out at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishwardi, Pabna during Rabi season of 2017-18 to evaluate the performance of five promising hybrid pointed gourd lines. BARI Hybrid Potol-1 was used as check. The line PG009xM₂ gave the highest number of fruits per plant (186). The highest yield (41.07 t/ha) was obtained from PG009xM₂and the lowest yield (26.60 t/ha) was obtained from PG008xM_2.

Keywords: Vegetables, Gourd, Gourd hybrid, Fertilizer, Cowdung

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishwardi, Pabna

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Bottle gourd, Soil fertility

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of pointed gourd hybrids at different locations of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishwardi, Pabna during the Rabi season of 2017-18. Five lines of hybrid pointed gourd viz. PG008xM_1,PG014xM₁, PG008´M_2, PG009´M_2, PG018´M₂and BARI Hybrid Potol-1 were included in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. The unit plot size was 4.5 m´1.0 m maintaining 1.5 m´1.0 m spacing. Vines were planted on 23 October 2015. Manures and fertilizers were applied @ of 20 ton cowdung, 500 kg urea, 400 kg TSP, 336 kg MOP and 200 kg gypsum per hectare respectively. The entire quantity of cowdung, TSP and gypsum was applied as basal during pit preparation. Urea and MOP were top dressed in three equal installments at 20, 60, 90 days after emergence. The plants were grown on a trellis. Irrigation and other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Data on different characters were analyzed statistically.
