Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Performance of seven potato varieties namely Almera, Sassy, Courage, Sprit, Lady Rosetta, Saikat along with Diamant as check were evaluated at MLT site, Satkhira during the Rabi season 2008-’09. Among the varieties Courage gave the highest yield (19.27 t/ha) which was followed by Diamant (19.13 t/ha). The lowest yield was found in Sprit (11.67 t/ha).

Keywords: Screening, Potato, Saline Areas

Location: Patuakhali (Kalapara), Noakhali, Cox’s Bazar and Satkhira

Start Date: 02-12-2008

End Date: 05-05-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Potato

Objectives:

To select varieties suitable for saline areas.

Methodology:

The trial was conducted at MLT site Satkhira, during BARI Rabi season, 2008-2009 with sixvarieties namely; Almera, Sassy, Courage, Esprit, Lady Rosetta, Saikat along with Diamant following RCB design with three replications. The unit plot size was 3 mx1.8 m. The seed was planted on 02 December, 2008 in line, keeping 60 cmx 25 cm spacing. The experimental plots were fertilized with 250-150-250-120-10-10 kg/ha of Urea, TSP, MOP, Gypsum, Zinc sulphate and Borax, respectively. Total amount of all fertilizers and half of the total urea was applied as basal dose during final land preparation. Rest of the urea was applied after 20 and 45 DAS as top dressing. Three irrigations were given during the growth period. All the intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Data on yield and yield attributes were collected. The soil salinity levels at the experimental plot were 3.87 to 9.70 dS/m during the crop growing period.
