Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiments was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications of three lines of each treatment at Central station, Dhaka and Manikganj for evaluation their yield and adaptability. The seeds were sown in Mid-March to Mid-May and harvested when calyces were matured. Relevant data were recorded. The result revealed that the local wild accession number M-715 gave the highest number of fruits(63/plant) and the highest amount of fruit and pericarp (75.35 g and 50.18 g. per ten fruits). Calyces were free from prickles. The highest amount of leaves was also obtained from the another treatment M-780 (120.23 g/plant). The accession M-715 was released as variety VM-1 in the year 2010.

Keywords: Selection,High yielding,Vegetable mesta

Location: Greenhouse primises, Dhaka and JAES, Manikgonj

Start Date: 10-04-2010

End Date: 24-08-2010

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mesta

Objectives:

a) To develop smooth mesta breeding lines containing higher amount of edible delicious leaves and smooth calyx fruit.

b)To develop vegetable type mesta to fulfil the requirement of vegetable.

Methodology:

Six lines of smooth mesta containing higher amount of foliaceous edible calyces and 2 lines fleshy edible having higher amount of edible delicious smooth leaves were selected during the year 2010. The collected experiments were carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications of three lines of each treatment at Central station, Dhaka and Manikganj for evaluation their yield and adaptability. The seeds were sown in Mid-March to Mid-May 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.
