Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted on the existing six years old mango orchard with MI Rai-005, MI Rai-006, MI Rai-007, MI Rai-008 germplasm and BARI Aam-9 (kachamitha mango as control treatment) at hill valley of Hill Agricultural Research Station of Raikhali, Kaptai in Rangamati Hill District during 2018-19 to find out the best kachamitha mango germplasm. Maximum number of fruits per plant was found in MI Rai-008 (241) and minimum number of fruits per plant was in MI Rai-006 (36). Higher individual fruit weight was recorded in MI Rai-008(250 g) and higher edible portion was found in MI Rai-005(80.3%). On the other hand lower fruit weight was found in MI Rai-007 (110 g). Maximum TSS was found in BARI Aam-9 (11%) but gave the minimum edible portion (76.8%). Germplasm MI Rai-008 was found very well in organoleptic test.

Keywords: Mango germplasm, Mango, Hill Tracts, Kachamitha mango, Fruit, Fertilized

Location: Hill valley of Hill Agricultural Research Station of Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District, Bangadesh

Start Date: 00-00-2018

End Date: 00-00-2019

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To observe the performance of kachamitha mango germplasm in Chattogram Hill Tracts which can be released as a superior kachamitha mango variety.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the existing six years old mango orchard containing MI Rai-005, MI Rai-006, MI Rai-007, MI Rai-008 germplasm and BARI Aam-9 (kachamitha mango as control treatment) at hill valley of Hill Agricultural Research Station of Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District during 2018-19. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) maintaining 6 m × 6 m spacing. 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. 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 requirements. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were taken duly.
