Abstract/ Executive Summary:

This experiment was conducted from November 2017 to March 2018 in the experimental field of ARS, BARI, Cumilla to evaluate the performance of colored vegetables and to popularize the colored vegetable among the consumers. There were nine treatments viz. red cabbage, red radish, red yard long bean, red and yellow capsicum, red amaranth, red radish F_1,red turnip, and green cabbage. Results revealed that the maximum yield (128.83 t ha^-1) was obtained from green cabbage while red cabbage yielded 65.26 t ha^-1. The lowest yield (1.3 t ha^-1) was recorded from the red yard long bean due to severe infestation of aphid and YMV. Yellow capsicum showed better yield performance over red capsicum. The yield gap between yellow and red capsicum was 2.83 t ha^-1. Red radish F₁showed better yield performance over red radish. The yield gap between red radish and red radish F₁ was also 25.42 t ha^-1. Low yield potentiality was observed in red turnip and red amaranth.

Location: ARS, BARI, Cumilla, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-05-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Vegetables

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of colored vegetables and to popularize the colored vegetables among the consumers.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at ARS, BARI, Cumilla during 2017- 2018. The soil of the experimental field was silty clay. The study was set in a Randomized Complete block design with three replications. There were nine treatments viz. red cabbage, red radish, red yard long bean, red and yellow capsicum, red amaranth, red radish F1, red turnip and green cabbage. The seeds were collected from the greatest seed market named Siddik Bazar at Gulisthan in Dhaka South. The unit plot size was 2.5 m × 9.0 m for all vegetable crops except capsicum. The unit plot size for capsicum was 1.0 m × 9.0 m. The spacing was maintained according to agronomical practice. Thirty days of old seedlings of (4-5 true leaf stage) red cabbage, red yard long bean, orange and red capsicum, red radish F₁, red turnip and green cabbage were transplanted in the experimental plots on 07 November 2017. Red radish and red amaranth were sown directly in the experimental plots on 07 November 2017. Proper fertilizer management was done for different vegetables according to FRG’ 2012. Different intercultural operations (plant supporting stand, mulching, weeding, split fertilizer application, irrigation) and plant protection measures were taken as and when necessary to raise healthy crops. Harvesting was started on 02 January 2016 and ended on 10 March 2017. Data on yield, insect, and disease infestation were recorded and presented.

Achievement/Findings:

Colored vegetables well performed in respect of yield. The maximum yield (128.83 t ha^-1) was obtained from green cabbage. Red cabbage yielded 65.26 t ha^-1. The lowest yield (1.3 t ha^-1) was recorded from the red yard long bean due to severe infestation of aphid and YMV. Yellow capsicum showed better yield performance over red capsicum. The yield gap between yellow and red capsicum was 2.83 t ha^-1. Red radish F₁showed better yield performance over red radish. The yield gap between red radish and red radish F₁ was 25.42 t ha^-1. Low yield potentiality was observed in red turnip and red amaranth. To get more information about colored vegetables exclusive attention and the further trial is needed.
