The trial was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI, Shibgonj, Bogra during rabi season 2012-2013 to evaluate the germplasm which collected from different sources and to identify the best germplasm with higher yield and other desirable characters. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Ten different fennel lines (FN01, FN02, FN03, FN04, FN05, FN06, FN07, FN08, FN09, FN010) were evaluated for yield and yield contributing character. FN08 and FN09 gave highest plant height (each with 132 cm) and FN01 gave lowest plant height (98.1 cm). The highest 1000 seed weight was given by FN06 (5.0 g) which was identical to FN04 (4.9 g). In case of seed yield, FN01 germplasm performed better (1.19 t/ha) and the lowest seed yield was recorded from BN05 (0.71 t/ha).

To evaluate seven different lines of fennel in term of their yield potential
The trial was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI, Shibgonj, Bogra during rabi season 2012-2013 to evaluate the germplasm which collected from different sources and to identify the best germplasm with high yield and other desirable characters. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Ten different fennel lines (FN01, FN02, FN03, FN04, FN05, FN06, FN07, FN08, FN09, and FN010) were evaluated for yield and yield contributing character. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.5m. The spacing used between lines and plants was 50cm x 10cm. The land was fertilized with cowdung, N, P and K at the rate of 5 t/ha, 57, 15 and 45kg/ha. The entire quantity of cowdung, N and K were applied during final land preparation. N was applied in two equal splits one half of N was applied at 15 days after germination and the other half of N was applied in flowering stage followed by irrigation. The seeds were sown on 13 November 2012 and were harvested on 25 April 2012. Weeding, irrigation and other intercultural operations were done as per necessary. Data on plant height, primary branch/plant, umbel/plant, umbel let /plant, seeds/umbel let, 1000 seed weight and seed yield were recorded. The collected data were statistically analyzed and means were separated by DMRT.

12,000/--
Different fennel germplasm varied significantly in respect of plant height, 1000 seed weight and seed yield (Table 1). Germplasm FN08 and FN09 gave the highest plant height (each with 132.9 cm) and the lowest plant height was found in FN01 (98.1 cm). The highest 1000 seed weight was given by BC06 (5.0 g) which was identical to FN04 (4.9 g). In case of seed yield, FN01 germplasm performed best (1.19 t/ha) and the lowest (0.71 t/ha) was found from FN05. The fennel germplasm FN02, FN03, FN04, FN06 and FN010 gave moderate seed yield.
From our past and present studies, the germplasm FN01, FN02, FN03, FN04, FN06 and FN010 may be selected for RYT.
