Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at JAES Manikganj and Jute Research Regional-station, Kishoreganj in 2012 to characterize of twenty five accessions of kenaf germplasm collected from different sources were sown on 25 April ,2012 along with the check varieties HC-95 and Bot Kenaf. 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. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes as per Hibiscus descriptor. Based on the major yield contributing characters viz. technical height, leaf angle, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, node number, base diameter of stem, middle diameter of stem, top diameter of stem, core diameter, dry fibre weight and dry stick weight accessions 1589, 1597, 1601 and 1599 performed better than the check varieties.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Kenaf

Location: JAES, Manikganj and Jut Research Regional Station, Kishoreganj

Start Date: 16-04-2012

End Date: 15-08-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize some of kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) 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 25 April, 2012 with check variety HC-95 and HC-2. 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. Twenty five accessions viz 1585, 1586, 1587, 1589, 1590, 1592, 1593, 1594, 1595, 1597, 1599, 1600, 1601, 1606, 1607, 1609, 1610, 1611, 1612, 1613, 1615, 1618, 1624, 1626 and 1628 were characterized.
