Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was carried out on mango germplasm collected from different parts of the Cumilla region to develop a descriptor, during 2019-2020. The experiment was laid out at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Cumilla with 24 lines as treatments. Observations were recorded on various morphological parameters such as qualitative and quantitative characters. Only 10 germplasm gave flowers and fruits this year and data were taken accordingly. From the observations made it was found that the mango varieties expressed morphological variations from genotype to genotype. These morphological variations have the ability to distinguish between the mango lines with each other. Descriptors are being developed initially for 24 mango genotypes on different observations, which consist of 31 qualitative and 18 quantitative characters. The developed and documented descriptors will facilitate in plant variety registration, identification of genotypes and also in mango improvement programmes.

Keywords: Morphological, Characterization, Evaluation, Mango, Germplasm

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Cumilla

Start Date: 00-00-2017

End Date: 00-00-2020

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To morphological characterization and evaluation of mango germplasm.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Cumilla during 2017 to 2020. Twenty four germplasm were collected from farmer’s orchard or household. Saplings were planted in the main field on 2 May, 2017 with a spacing of 5 m x 5 m. Accessions were characterized based on mango descriptors listed by IPGRI (2006). Forty nine traits (31 qualitative and 18 quantitative) were measured per accession from November 2019 to June 2020. Data will be recorded for three consecutive years, 2019-2021. The data recorded over three years will be pooled for further analysis.
