Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Eight lines of smooth mesta containing higher amount of foliaceous smooth leaves were selected during the year 2012.The experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications of three lines of each treatment at Greenhouse primises, Dhaka and JAES, Manikgonj for evaluation their yield and adaptability. The seeds were sown in Mid March and harvested when calyces were matured. Relevant data were recorded. Plant hegiht, base diameter and weight of leaves per plant, number of fruit per plant, weight of ten fruits per plant and weight of pericarp of ten fruits were also recorded.Proper intercultural and agronomic practices were done for raising the parental materials. The result showed that the local wild accession number M-715 gave the highest number of fruits (64/plant), the highest weight of ten fruits and pericarp weight of ten fruits 78.20g and 46.50g respectively. Calyces were free from prickles. The highest amount of leaves was also obtained from the another treatment M-780 (105.10g/ plants). The accession M-715 was released as variety BJRI Mesta-2 (VM-1) .
