Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Field experiments were conducted at Noakhali (Atkopalia FSR site), Benerpotah farm and Paikgacha MLT site) during 2000-2001 and 2001-2002. Five cultivars of wheat (Kanchan, Shatabdi, Gourab, Portiva and Sourav), four varieties of maize (Khoibhutta, Mohor, BARI Bhutta-5 and Barnali), three varieties of mustard (Tori-7, Sonali sarisha and Dhali), one variety of sunflower (Kironi), two varieties of Khesari (BARI Khesari-1 and BARI Khesari-2) and one variety of chickpea (BARI Chola-5) were used as treatment materials. The salinity level of the soils of Atkopalia FSR site, Kalapara MLT site, Banerpotha farm and Paikacha MLT site ranged from 0. 8 to 4.6 dS-M, 4.2 to 15.27 dS-m, 2.01 to 8.34 dS-m and 2.03 to 15.93 dS-m during the crop period, respectively and it increased progressively over time. At patuakhali the highest grain yield was recorded in Barnali (2.5 t/ha). At Khulna the variety Probati produced the highest yield (3.42 t/ha). At Paikgacha the maize variety Barnali produced the highest yield (1.92 t/ha)

Keywords: Cereals, Pulses, Oilseed, Forage, Coastal areas

Location: Noakhali, ARS, Banerpota and Paikgacha, Khulna

Start Date: 12-12-2001

End Date: 20-04-2002

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Wheat, Mustard, Chickpea

Objectives:

To find out salt tolerance crop varieties in saline areas.

Methodology:

Field experiments were conducted at the above mentioned sites during 2001-2002. The soil was saline in nature. Five cultivars of wheat (Kanchan, Shatabdi, Gourab, Protiva and Sourav), four varieties of maize (Khoibutta, Mohour, BARI Bhutta-5 and Barnali), Three varieties of mustard (Tori, Sonali sarisha and Dhali), one variety of sunflower (Kironi), two varieties of khesari (BARI Khesari-1 and BARI khesari-2) and one variety of Cdhickpea (BARI Chola-5)were employed in the study. These varieties were released by BARI. The trial was set up in a RCB design with three replications having unit plot size of 4m x 3m.

Budget: 40,000/-

Total Budget (Tk.) : 40,000/-

Achievement/Findings:

The yield data indicated that maize variety Mohar and Barnali could be cultivated in this areas. Mustard variety ‘Dhali’ and ‘Tori-7’ showed better response in Noakhali area. Wheat variety ‘Protiva’ and maize variety BARI maize-5 showed better adaptability at Banerpotha. It was also observed that wheat variety ‘Sourav’ and maize variety ‘Barnali’ performed well as Paikgacha.
