Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Interspecific hybridizations were made between Hibiscus acetocella x HC-95, Hibiscus radiatus x HC-95, Hibiscus acetocella x HC-2, Hibiscus radiatus x HC-2 and with other wild types to get interspecific hybrid with a view to develop high yielding, high biomass containing product oriented and fine paper pulp producing variety, resistant to nematode, spiral borer and mealy bug, prickle free stem, year round cultivation, stress tolerant (salinity, drought, cold, short day tolerant and waterlogging etc.). One hundred fifty six crosses were made between two contrasting characters. Similarly, interspecific hybridizations were made with Mesta HS-24 x H. altisima, SAMU'93 x 2065 vegetable types with a to develop high yielding, waterlogging tolerant, year round cultivation, disease and pest resistant variety, prickle free stem and bristle free stem and bristle free fruit, short maturing, vegetable type (delicious fleshy calyces and leafy). 124 crosses were made. Crossing fruits were harvested for studying the next year.

Keywords: High yielding, High biomass, Stress tolerant

Location: Greehouse primeses, BJRI, Dhaka

Start Date: 00-00-2009

End Date: 00-00-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: kenaf, Mesta

Objectives:

To develop high yielding, high biomass containing product oriented and fine paper pulp producing variety.

Methodology:

The experiment was under taken at Greehouse primeses, BJRI, Dhaka during the year 2009. The seeds of parent materials were sown on August-September 2009 having 2 lines of 3m long row. Proper intercultural operation and standard agronomic practices were followed for uniform growth. Interspecific hybridizations were made between Hibiscus acetocella x HC-95, Hibiscus radiatus x HC-95, Hibiscus acetocella x HC-2, Hibiscus radiatus x HC-2 and with other wild types to get interspecific hybrid with a view to develop high yielding, high biomass containing product oriented and fine paper pulp producing variety, resistant to nematode, spiral borer and mealy bug, prickle free stem, year round cultivation, stress tolerant (salinity, drought, cold, short day tolerant and waterlogging etc.) One hundred fifty six crosses were made between two contrasting characters. Similarly, interspecific hybridizations were made with Mesta HS-24 x H. altisima, SAMU'93 x 2065 vegetable types with a to develop high yielding, waterlogging tolerant, year round cultivation, disease and pest resistant variety, prickle free stem and bristle free stem and bristle free fruit, short maturing, vegetable type (delicious fleshy calyces and leafy). 0ne hundred and twenty four crosses were made. Crossing fruits were harvested for studying the next year.

Achievement/Findings:

The result showed that one hundred fifty six crosses were made between two contrasting characters in case of Kenaf. On the other hand, one hundred and twenty four crosses were made in case of mesta. Crossing fruits were harvested for studying the next year.
