Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Seven types of underutilized indigenous vegetables were put into PYT at the research field of Olericulture Division of Horticulture Centre (HRC), BARI, Gazipur during 2016-17 to standardize production protocol for growing different time of the year. Different parameters viz.: Plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, leaves’ length and width, days to harvest, days to flowering, plot and per hectare yield were recorded and analyzed. The yield potential of Bathua- green (11.42 t/ha), Bathua- red (9.84 t/ha), Thankuni (3.81t/ha), Lafashak (13.80 t/ha), Pudina (4.39 t/ha), Telakucha (8.13 t/ha) and Chukur (4.62 t/ha) was obtained. Further study needs to be performed to standardize the production practices.

Keywords: Vegetables, Bathua, thankuni, Lafashak, Pudina, Telakucha, chukur

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

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-05-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Vegetables

Objectives:

To standardize the vegetables production protocols year round.

Methodology:

The study was undertaken in the vegetable research field of HRC, BARI, Joydebpur during year-round of 2017-18. Under this program seven species were selected among 28 collected species which was from across the country during 2011 onward. The selected seven vegetable species-viz: Bathua (green), Bathua (red), Thankuni, Lafashak, Pudina , Telakucha and Chukur were put under a replicated trial in the experimental field. The unit plot size was 3.0x1.0 m maintaining different spacing. Seeds were sown and the cuttings were transplanted in the field in a different month of the year 2017. Manures and fertilizers were applied as per requirement (base on symptoms specific). Irrigation and other intercultural operation were done as and when necessary. data on plant height, number of branches per plant, number of leaves per plant, leaves’ length and width, days to harvest, days to flowering, plot and per hectare, yield was recorded and analyzed for presenting mean results following Microsoft EXCEL program.

Achievement/Findings:

Brief crop description, cultivation procedure, horticultural traits and yield potentials have been cited. The yield potentials revealed that green Bathua exhibited 11.42 tons per hectare yield while 9.84 tons yield was recorded in red Bathua. The vegetable-Thankuni contributed 3.81 tons yield. The highest yield (13.80 t/ha) yield was recorded from Lafashak among the leafy vegetable group studied. Pudina, Telakucha and Chukur exhibited 4.39, 8.13 and 4.62 tons yield respectively. Among the vegetables, Bathua and Lafashak were made single harvest, while other vegetables were harvested sequentially while the first harvest were started from 25 to 50 days. For optimizing production techniques, the experiment needs to be repeated in the following year for confirming the results.
