Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Eighty-nine exotic germplasm of fababean along with local cultivar kalimotor were evaluated at pulse research sub-station, Gazipur during Rabi 2019-2020 for yield and yield contributing characters. Results showed that all the characters under study were significantly different among the genotypes. The result revealed that 11NF014b-16 genotype gave the highest yield followed by 11NF008b-15 and the lowest yield was obtained from genotype 11NF011b-7.

Start Date: 00-00-2019

End Date: 00-00-2020

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Faba bean

Objectives:

The present experiment has been undertaken to find out the high-yielding, disease-resistant and adaptable genotypes in Bangladesh environment.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at PRSS, BARI, Gazipur during Rabi season, 2019-20 to find out the high-yielding, disease-resistant and adaptable genotypes in the Bangladesh environment. 89 exotic germplasm collected from Australia were evaluated under this trial. This trial was sown 28 November 2019 with a view for identifying high-yielding genotypes. The experiment was laid out in an alpha-lattice design. The unit plot size was 2 rows x 4m long and spacing was 40 cm x 10 cm. Seeds were sown in the rows carefully by hands at 3 cm depth and covered by soils. Recommended fertilizers were applied as basal dose during final land preparation. The crop was harvested after maturity. Data on yield contributing characters were recorded from 5 randomly selected plants from each plot. Grain yield (kg ha^-1) was recorded from the whole plot. Data were analyzed by using the R- software program.

Achievement/Findings:

The variations among the genotypes of fababean lines were studied on the multivariate scale using D² statistics. It appears that there were significant variations among all the genotypes. The covariance matrix gave non-hierarchical clustering among 89 fababean genotypes and grouped them into ten clusters. Cluster IX contains the largest number (15) of genotypes followed by cluster and X (14). Cluster I and VIII each included four genotypes. The genotypes accumulated in the same cluster are not sharply diversified. Average intra and inter-cluster distances of ten clusters were observed. It was observed that cluster VII had a high distance from the rest. It was suggested that the genotype in cluster VII was distinctly different from others. The highest distance was obtained between cluster III and IX (28.15) and it was followed by the distance between clusters III and X (25.23), III, and IV (24.17). The higher inter-cluster values indicated that the genotypes belonging to each pair of clusters were far diverse, accordingly, the higher heterosis in progeny could be observed. The distances between the clusters V and VI, V and VII, IX and X, IV and VI had almost the same and minimum values. It was suggested that the genotypes belong to cluster VI would not result in significant variation when crosses were made between the genotypes of clusters IV and V, respectively. The distance between the clusters minimum values suggested that genotypes belonging to these clusters were less diverged. The genotypes within a cluster tend to diverse less from each other possibly due to similarity of parentage. The intra-cluster distance was the highest in cluster VII (0.88) followed by cluster V (0.86). The lowest intra- cluster distance was in cluster II (0.43) having eleven genotypes. The intra-cluster distances were less than the inter-cluster distances, suggesting wider genetic diversity among the genotypes between the groups. All the genotypes under study provided considerable significant variations on agronomic characters and yield. But all genotypes perform lower yields at the Gazipur location. So, the germplasm needed to be evaluated at different locations to explore the potentiality in the next season.
