Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A total of forty two accessions of mesta germplasm along with the check variety HS-24 were sown at JAES, Manikganj and Jut Research Regional Station Chandina, Comila on 16 April, 2012. The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes according to Hibiscus descriptor. Considering the major yield contributing characters accessions no.1707, 1709, 1718, 1729, 1734, 1737, 1904, 1905 and 2789 performed better than the control HS-24.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Mesta

Location: Jute Agricultural Experimental Station, Manikganj and Jut Research Regional Station Chandina, Comila

Start Date: 16-04-2012

End Date: 15-04-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize the germplasm as per Hibiscus Descriptor for their morpho-agronomic attributes.

Methodology:

The experiment was sown in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. The accessions were sown on 16 April, 2012 with check variety HS-24. Other standard cultural and intercultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. Forty two accessions viz.1703,1704,1705,1706,1707,1708,1709,1710,1712,1714,1717,1718,1719,1726,1727,1728,1729,1730,1734,1737,1739,1740,1812,1813,1814,1815,1816,1817,1818,1884,1904,1905,2013,2055,2060,2776,2779,2789,2790,2799,2801,2900.
