Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted on the existing eleven years old mango orchard with BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3, BARI Aam-4 and BARI Aam-8 at hill valley of Hill Agricultural Research Station at Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District during 2019-20 with an objective to verify their performance. Maximum plant height (805 cm), number of fruits per plant (253) and fruit yield (23.5 t/ha) were observed in BARI Aam-8. The heaviest fruit (370g), the highest fruit breadth (9.2 cm) and fruit thickness (7.3 cm) were found in BARI Aam-4. Maximum TSS (12.5%) and edible portion (81.5%) were recorded in BARI Aam-2. The lowest number of fruits per plant (124), edible portion (64.9%) and fruit yield per plant (5.9 t/ha) was found in BARI Aam-1.

Keywords: Performance, Mango, Chittagong Hill Tracts

Location: Hill Agricultural Research Station at Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District

Start Date: 00-00-2019

End Date: 00-00-2020

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To observe the performance of BARI released mango varieties in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted on the existing eleven years old mango orchard containing BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3, BARI Aam-4 and BARI Aam-8 at hill valley of Hill Agricultural Research Station at Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District during 2019-20. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) maintaining 6 m × 6 m spacing. The soil was fertilized with well-decomposed cowdung @ 15 kg/plant, 230 g N, 42 g P₂O₅ and 54 g K₂O per plant per year. NPK were applied in the form of Urea, TSP and MOP, respectively. The fertilizers were applied in two equal installments in a year. First installment was applied during May and the second in September. Intercultural operations like weeding, irrigation, mulching, etc. were done as per necessary. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were taken duly.

Achievement/Findings:

Based on the number of fruits per plant and fruit yield with higher TSS , individual fruit weight, fruit volume, edible portion BARI Aam-8, BARI Aam-3 and BARI Aam-4 were observed superior among all other varieties understudy in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. BARI Aam-2 was suggested as a suitable early sweet variety and BARI Aam-4 as a late-season variety.
