Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at the Citrus Research Station, Jaintapur, Sylhet during 2018-2019 with 4 sobri kola germplasm. A wide variation was observed regarding growth characteristics where MS Jai 021 was superior with plant height, base girth, leaf size and growth condition followed by MS Jai-024. Maximum bunch weight was obtained from MS Jai-024 (9.6 kg) while lowest in MS Jai-021 (6.41 kg). Variation was also found from the other characters. The highest hands weight (1.51 kg), Finger weight (90 g) was also found from MS Jai-024. Maximum yield was found in MS Jai-024 (46.86 t/ha) followed by MS Jai-024 (37.33 t/ha) while minimum yield (24.45 t/ha) in MS Jai 021. The highest TSS (24.5 %) was recorded in MS Jai-024 while the lowest TSS (18.0%) was found in MS Jai-022. Number of hands per bunch was maximum in MS Jai-024 (12) but number of fingers per hand was surprisingly higher in MS Jai-022 (20) compared to MS Jai-024 (13). Maximum finger size (11.8×3.5 cm²) was recorded in MS Jai-024 while lowest (11.9×2.7 cm²) in MS Jai-022. Edible portion was higher in MS Jai-024 (88%).

Keywords: MS Jai 021, Plant height, Base girth, Leaf size, MS Jai-024, Banana, Fruit

Location: The Citrus Research Station, Jaintiapur, Sylhet, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2018

End Date: 00-00-2019

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Banana

Objectives:

To observed regarding growth characteristics where MS Jai 021 was superior with plant height, base girth, leaf size and growth condition by MS Jai-024.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Citrus Research Station, Jaintiapur, Sylhet during 2018-2019 with 4 sobri banana germplasm. Suckers were collected from farmers’ field and homesteads and planted at experimental plot with a spacing of 2m x 1.5m in the month of February 2018. Each plant was fertilized with 10kg cow dung, 200g urea, 150g TSP, 100g MoP. Admire 2ml/L was applied for reducing the infestation of banana stem weevil in April’ 2018. Data were recorded on plant height, base girth, spreading (east-west, north-south) and growth condition. Three germplasm fruited for the first time and was harvested for taking data on different fruit quality parameters. The recorded data on different parameters were statistically analyzed using MSTAT-C programme.

Achievement/Findings:

Maximum yield was found in MS Jai-024 (46.86 t/ha) followed by MS Jai-024 (37.33 t/ha) while minimum yield (24.45 t/ha) in MS Jai 021. The highest TSS (24.5 %) was recorded in MS Jai-024 while the lowest TSS (18.0%) was found in MS Jai-022. Number of hands per bunch was maximum in MS Jai-024 (12) but number of fingers per hand was surprisingly higher in MS Jai-022 (20) compared to MS Jai-024 (13). Maximum finger size (11.8×3.5 cm²) was recorded in MS Jai-024 while lowest (11.9×2.7 cm²) in MS Jai-022. Edible portion was higher in MS Jai-024 (88%). This is the first year study. Final conclusion will be made after two to three years evaluation of fruit quality parameters.
