Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three lines of kenaf namely KE-1, KE-2 and KE-3 were isolated for their early maturing characters and one line (purple stem) for its high resistance to disease and pest. These lines were tested in 2010 at six different locations i.e. Manikganj, Faridpur, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Moniramput and Chandina stations.; Relevant data were recorded. It was observed that at Monirampur, the kenaf line KE-3 showed better performance in respect of fibre yield (4.63 t/ha). PS-1 (4.61 t/ha) showed better performance next to KE-3 at Monirampur. At Faridpur, the breeding line KE-3 also gave higher fibre yield (4.18 t/h) than the recommended variety HC-95 (4.11 t/ha). At Manikganj and Kishroeganj, KE-3 also gave higher yield (3.46 t/ha and 3.63 t/ha) than the control variety HC-95 (3.20 t/ha and 3.53 t/ha) respectively.

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

Location: Manikganj, Faridpur, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Moniramput and Chandina

Start Date: 00-00-2010

End Date: 00-00-2010

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 2010 at six different locations i.e. Manikganj, Chandina, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Faridpur and Monirampur 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.
