Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study on the evaluation of selected seven drumstick entries was conducted at the experimental field of Olericulture Division of Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during the season of 2010-12 onward and this year (2017-18). The drumstick entry: MO 0025 found to be as seasonal natured having good quality with individual pod weight (61.53g) having 16.25kg yield per plant, while four lines viz MO 0001(1), MO 0007, MO-0008, MO-0011, and MO-0012 are considered as off-seasonal promising lines having 40-50g average individual pod weight. Yearly average per plant yield indicated that the lines MO 0001(1) exhibited maximum yield (13.75 kg) followed by line MO 0012 (15.23 kg). These off-season lines are capable to produce flowers two to three times a year. No major pest and diseases found to invasion in the Moringa lines. For further use, five plants of entry have been multiplied.

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: Moringa_(Sojena), Drumstick

Objectives:

To evaluate these selected moringa lines for assessing yield potentials and multiplication towards developing as on and off-season drumstick varieties in Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The study was conducted at Central Research Farm (farm-2) of HRC, BARI, Joydebpur from June 2011-11 onward. After successive six-year characterization and evaluation, out of these drumstick entries, there were selected seven entries having on and off-season natured considered as materials in this study. The stem cuttings: 75- 150 cm long with diameters of 7-15cm and 5 cuttings of each line were kept in a dry shady place for three days. The cuttings of drumstick were planted (1/3^rd of the length in the soil) in the main field on August 01, 2011under a replicated trial in the experimental field (fencing side) maintaining 5 meters spaced between two planting hole. Manures and fertilizers were applied as of recommended dose (urea-200g, TSP-250g, and MoP-150g) per plant (Ali et al., 2009). Data on physio-morphological and other horticultural traits were recorded and mean data have been compiled.

Achievement/Findings:

Considering the flowering and pod setting behavior over time, seven moringa lines viz: MO 0001(1), MO 0007, MO 0008, MO 0011, and MO 0012 selected as the year-round type, and MO 0013 and MO 0025 were included as seasonal type. As the moringa is a perennial crop and the environment is not static every year, therefore, further investigations on selected lines need to be conducted to confirm the results. Simultaneously, saplings of the same lines are transplanted this season (May 2017) for increasing mother plants.
