Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three lines of kenaf (KE-1, KE-2 and KE-3) were isolated for their early maturing character and one line (purple stem) for its high resistance to disease and pest. These lines were tested in 2009 at six stations at Manikganj, Faridpur, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Monirampur and Chandina research stations. It was observed that at Monirampur, the kenaf lineKE-3 showed better performance in respect of fibre yield (5.56 t/ha) than the recommended variety HC-95 (4.4 t/ha). PS-1 (4.63 t/ha) showed better performance next to KE-3 at Monirampur. At Kishoreganj, the breeding line KE-3 also gave higher fibre yield (4.23 t/ha) than the recommended variety HC-95 (3.03 t/ha). At Faridpur, KE-3 also gave higher yield (4.12 t/ha) than the control variety HC-95 (4.04 t/ha).

Keywords: Advanced yield trial, Breeding line, Early maturing,Kenaf

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

Start Date: 25-04-2009

End Date: 30-08-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: kenaf

Objectives:

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

Methodology:

An experiment was under taken in 2009 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. Proper intercultural operations and standard agronomic practices were done when necessary.

Achievement/Findings:

In this program, it was observed that at Monirampur, the kenaf line KE-3 showed better performance in respect of fibre yield (5.56 t/ha) than the recommended variety HC-95 (4.4 t/ha). PS-1 (4.63 t/ha) showed better performance next to KE-3 at Monirampur. At Kishoreganj, the breeding line KE-3 also gave higher fibre yield (4.23 t/ha) than the recommended variety HC-95 (3.03 t/ha). At Faridpur, KE-3 also gave higher yield (4.12 t/ha) than the control variety HC-95 (4.04 t/ha).
