Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Thirty Kenaf and 15 Mesta accessions were grown at Manikganj having 2 lines of 3.0m long row. After 45 days of plant age 2-3 plant from each row were uprooted at 15 days interval and examined for root knot nematode infestation. It was observed that root-knot nematode attacks kenaf plants mostly in August-September and not a single accessions was free from nematode attack while mesta accessions were free from root-knot nematode attack. On the other hand, none accessions of kenaf and mesta were affected by spiral borer.

Keywords: Desirable type resistant, Root-knot, Spiral borer, Kenaf, Mesta

Location: JAES, Manikganj

Start Date: 18-04-2004

End Date: 27-08-2004

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mesta, kenaf

Objectives:

1) To select genotypes for high yielding and desirable traits from gene bank collection.

2) To find out any germplasm which is diseases and pest resistant from collected gene bank.

Methodology:

A study was laid out with thirty Kenaf and 15 Mesta accessions and check varieties HC-2, HC-95 and HS-24 at JAES, Manikganj during the year 2004 having 2 lines of 3m long row. After 45 days of plant age 2-3 plants from each row were up rooted at 15 days interval and examined for root-knot nematode infestations.

1. Government

Budget: 2000

Total Budget (Tk.) : 2000

Achievement/Findings:

Under this experiment, it was observed that root-knot nematode attacks kenaf plants mostly in August-September and not a single accessions was free from nematode attack while mesta accessions were free from root-knot nematode attack. On the other hand, none accessions of kenaf and mesta were affected by spiral borer.
