Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted in the coastal saline area of Banerpota Farm, Shatkhira, FSRD site Noakhali and MLT site Kuakata, Potuakhali during the rabi season of 2008-09 after T.aman harvest to select suitable hybrid maize variety adaptive for coastal cyclone prone area of Bangladesh. It was observed that Pacific-60 perform better in the coastal cyclone prone areas and among the BARI released varieties BARI hybrid maize-5 perform better. But in the last year BARI hybrid maize-3 performed better.

Keywords: Hybrid maize varieties, Coastal cyclone prone areas

Location: ARS, Banerpota, Shatkhira, Noakhali and Kuakata, Patuakhali

Start Date: 00-00-2008

End Date: 00-00-2009

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

To find out suitable hybrid maize variety for the cyclone prone area of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted in the coastal saline area of Banerpota Farm, Shatkhira, FSRD site Noakhali and MLT site Kuakata, Patuakhali during the rabi season of 2008-09 after the harvest of T.aman rice. Six hybrid maize. Varieties viz BARI hybrid maize-2, BARI hybrid maize-5, Pacific-11, Pacific-60, Pacific-555 and Pacfic-984 were tested in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Seeds of different varieties were sown on 19 January 2009 at Banerpota and 01 January 2009 at Kuakata with a spacing of 75cm x 25cm. The trial was fertilized with 253-52-110-46-5-1.2 kg/ha of N-P-K-S-Zn-B+CD respectively. All fertilizer along with 6 t/ha cowdung/ha and 1/3 N were applied as basal during final land preparation. The rest of urea was applied in two equal split at 35 and 65 DAS. Two irrigations were given following the urea top dressing. Earthing up was done after 2nd top dress of urea. There times weeding and necessary plant protection measures were taken. The crop was harvested on 13 May, 2009 at Satkhria and 6 May 2006 at Kuakata. Data on different plant characters and yield were record and analyzed statistically.

Achievement/Findings:

From the study it was revealed that Pacific-60 followed by Pacific-11 performed better in the coastal cyclone area after harvest of T.aman rice. But in the last year Pacific-11 followed by BARI hybrid maize-3 performed better.
