Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to evaluate a one green unripe (Kanchamitha) mango germplasm (MI Kha-001) at the Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during 2019-2020. The full blooming period was end of January. The tree habit was spreading to intermediate type. Harvesting period was 7 to 11 May, 2020. Total Soluble Solids (TSS) was recorded 9.75%. Edible portion was found 80.40%. Overall growth conditions of the germplasm was found satisfactory. Considering the fruit characters and edible quality MI Kha-001 was considered a promising mango germplasm for using at unripe condition.

Location: Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari.

Start Date: 00-00-2019

End Date: 00-00-2020

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To assess the performance in respect of the yield and quality as a green mango for a recommendation as a variety under the agro-climatic conditions of CHT.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at Hill Agricultural Research Station, Khagrachari during 2019-2020 to determine the performance of kanchamitha mango germplasm in respect of the yield and quality as green mango. After preliminary assessment, one germplasm of Kanchamitha mango (MI Kha-001) was considered for this study. The age of the plants was about 16 years. The trees were fertilized with well-decomposed cowdung @ 15 kg/plant, 230 g N, 80 g P and 250 g K per plant per year (Hossain, 1989). NPK were applied in the form of Urea, TSP and MoP, respectively. The fertilizers were applied in three equal installments in a year at the end of April, June and September. In addition, 50 g N, 20 g P, 50 g K, 10 g zinc and 10 g boron were applied as split with irrigation at the fruit setting stage. Weeding and mulching were done in the month of September, December, March, May and July. Regular irrigation at 15 days and 30 days interval were applied at blooming stage and fruiting stage. The plants were given uniform cultural management as per recommendation for controlling mango hopper, fruit weevil and anthracnose disease. Data on growth as well as quantitative and qualitative characteristics of fruit and yield were recorded and analyzed following standard statistical procedure.
