Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The research work morphological description of Burmese grape was conducted at farmers field, Shibpur, Narsingdi during 2016-17 with seven Burmese grape germplasem where RCBD experimental design was followed. Wide variation was observed in case of growth, yield contributing characters, yield and fruit quality of the germplasm studied.The highest plant height, base girth, canopy spreading were noted form the germplasm BS Nar-002. Leaf size was noticed maximum in BS Nar-004. Maximum number of fruits/plant and yield/plant were obtained from BS Nar-002. BS Nar-002 was also free from disease whereas the other germplasm suffered from powdery mildew and sooty mould. Chaper beetle was common in case of all the germplasm.The heaviest (24.54 g) fruit was obtained from BS Nar-002, while the lightest (12.50 g) from BS Nar-006. Maximum edible portion was also recorded from BS Nar-002 (56.68 %) as compared to minimum in BS Nar-006 (39.36 %).Fruit size was the highest in BS Nar-002 (3.93 x 3.75 cm) followed by BS Nar-003 (3.56 x 3.51cm). Flesh color and texture for all the germplasm was off white and juicy. Maximum edible portion (56.68%) and percent TSS (16.05%) was noticed from BS Nar-002.

Keywords: Morphology, Burmese grape, Genotype, Germplasm, Lotkon

Location: Shibpur, Norsingdi district

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Latkan

Objectives:

To reduce the demand of good varieties of lotkon this study was undertaken.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the farmers’ field of Shibpur, Norsingdi district. Seven Lotkon germplasm was included in the study. These plants are about fifteen years old and bear fruits regularly. At the beginning of the experiment the plants were rejuvenated and among of dead and diseased branches, freed them from parasitic plants, algae and lichen. Therefore, the trunks were painted with Bordeaux paste to avoid fungal infection. Each plants were fertilized with 40 kg cowdung, 400 g N,100 g P, 350 g K, 55 g S, 50 g zinc sulphate 25 g boric acid in two equal splits one in the month of July and another after rainy season in the month of October (Annon., 2012). The plants were infested by cheaper beetle twice in the month of July and September, hence two full cover sprays of Cypermethrin (Cymcare 10 EC @ 1ml/L of water) were applied.Three hand weeding was done throughout the rainy season to avoid losses of soil nutrients by seen and also to destroy the harbor of insect pests. Data were taken on growth, yield and fruit Characteristics. Fruit quality data were analyzed means were separated by STAR computer program.
