Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The results revealed that 1641/A (KE-1) at Manikganj and Kishoreganj, 1641/B (KE-2) at Faridpur and Rangpur and 1641/C (KE-3) at Chandina, Kishoreganj, Faridpur, Monirampur and Patuakhali gave numerically higher yield than both the check varieties HC-95 and HC-2. Pooled mean over locations showed that the 1641/C (KE-3)gave the highest yield than other lines and both the check varieties.

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

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

Start Date: 15-03-2012

End Date: 10-08-2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To develop new Kenaf varieties with short field duration coupled with more biomass.

Methodology:

Three lines 1641/A (KE-1), 1641/B (KE-2) and 1641/C (KE-3) of kenaf were isolated for their early maturing character. These lines were tested in 2012 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 3.00m x 4.0m=12 sq. m. The seeds were sown in mid March and harvested in Mid-August. Data were recorded on plant population, plant height, base diameter, green weight with leaves and without leaves, fibre weight and stick weight. Proper intercultural operations and standard agronomic practices were followed for uniform growth.

Achievement/Findings:

Three lines 1641/A (KE-1), 1641/B (KE-2) and 1641/C (KE-3) of kenaf were isolated for their early maturing character. These lines were tested in 2012 at seven different locations i.e. Manikganj, Chandina, Kishoreganj, Rangpur, Faridpur, Monirampur and Patuakhali stations. It was observed that 1641/A (KE-1) at Manikganj and Kishoreganj, 1641/B (KE-2) at Faridpur and Rangpur and 1641/C (KE-3) at Chandina, Kishoreganj, Faridpur, Monirampur and Patuakhali gave numerically higher yield than both the check varieties HC-95 and HC-2.
