Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj, Rangpur and Kishoreganj to evaluate for morpho-agronomic attributes, disease and pest tolerance of thirty two accessions of desi jute (C. capsularis) along with check varieties varieties CVL-1 and CC-45 were sown at on 27 March, 2001. The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with three replications. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. Pigmentation data, disease and pest infestation data were collected at 60 days after sowing and sowing to harvest respectively. The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes, disease and pest tolerance as per Corchorus descriptor. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. Based on the major yield contributing, disease and pest infestation status accessions 2210, 4683, 4728, 4453, 3490, 4953, 4620 and 4615 performed better than check varieties.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Disease, Pest status, Attributes, Yield

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj, Rangpur and Kishoreganj

Start Date: 27-03-2001

End Date: 26-07-2001

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To evaluate some of deshi jute germ plasm for morpho-agronomic attributes, disease, pest tolerance and fiber properties.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj, Rangpur and Kishoreganj to evaluate for morpho-agronomic attributes, disease and pest tolerance of thirty accessions of desi jute (C. capsularis) along with check varieties varieties CVL-1 and CC-45 were sown on 27 March, 2001. The materials under study were 2134, 2171, 2210, 2318, 2386, 3151, 3259, 3309, 3337, 3449, 3478, 3490, 3513, 4374, 4453, 4615, 4620, 4683, 4700, 4705, 4706, 4710, 4728, 4730, 4872, 4951, 4953, 4958, 5000 and 5061. The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with three replications. The length of line was 3 m, spacing 30 cm between rows and 5-7 cm between plants. Standard cultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data on stem color, leaf color, vain color, petiole color, stipule color, bud color, and fruit color were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data on plant height, node number, base diameter of stem, middle diameter of stem, top diameter of stem, core diameter, dry fiber weight and dry stick weight were collected. The data were analyzed following standard statistical procedures.
