Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three lines 1641/A (KE-1), 1641/B (KE-2) and 1641/C (KE-3) of kenaf were isolated for their early maturing character. These lines were tested in 2011 at seven different locations i.e. Manikganj, Chandina, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Faridpur, Monirampur and Patuakhali stations. Under this experiment, the results revealed that 1641/A (KE-1) at Kishoreganj and Rangpur, 1641/B (KE-2) at Manikgonj and Faridpur and 1641/C (KE-3) at Manikgonj, Kishoreganj, Faridpur and Monirampur gave numerically higher yield than both the check varieties HC-95 and HC-2. Pooled mean over locations showed that the 1641/C (KE-3)gave the highest yield than other lines and both the check varieties HC-95 and HC-2.

Keywords: Regional yield trial, Breeding line, Early maturing, Quick growing, Kenaf

Location: Manikganj, Faridpur, Kishroeganj, Chandina, Rangpur, Patuakhali and Monirampur

Start Date: 23-04-2011

End Date: 22-08-2011

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To develop new Kenaf varieties having characteristics of early maturing but quick growing.

Methodology:

Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) produces more biomass in poor soil and has great potentiality as renewable raw materials for paper pulp production. Due to its long vegetative period, farmers show little interest to grow. For overcome this purpose, three lines 1641/A (KE-1), 1641/B (KE-2) and 1641/C (KE-3) of kenaf were isolated for their early maturing character. These lines were tested in 2011 at seven different locations i.e. Manikganj, Chandina, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Faridpur, Monirampur and Patuakhali stations along with recommended variety HC-95 and HC-2 as check in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replication having unit plot size of 3.0m x 4.0m=12 sq. m. The seeds were sown in mid March and harvested in Mid-August. Data were recorded on dates to sowing, germination,first flowering plant population at final thinning and at harvest, plant height, base diameter, green weight with leaves, green weight without leaves, fibre weight and stick weight.Observations and records on disease and pest incidence, quick growing,smoothness and earliness were done.

Achievement/Findings:

Under this experiment, it was observed that 1641/A (KE-1) at Kishoreganj and Rangpur, 1641/B (KE-2) at Manikgonj and Faridpur and 1641/C (KE-3) at Manikgonj, Kishoreganj, Faridpur and Monirampur gave numerically higher yield than both the check varieties HC-95 and HC-2. Pooled mean over locations showed that the 1641/C (KE-3)gave the highest yield than other lines and both the check varieties HC-95 and HC-2.
