Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Jute Agricultural Experimentation Station, Manikganj to characterize of twenty eight accessions of mesta germplasm collected from different sources were sown on 16 April,2009 along with the check variety HS-24. The experiment was sown in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes as per Hibiscus descriptor. Based on the major yield contributing characters viz. technical height, leaf angle, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, node number, base diameter of stem, middle diameter of stem, top diameter of stem, core diameter, dry fibre weight and dry stick weight. Accessions no. 2867, 4680, 1730 and 2943 performed better than the check variety HS-24.

Start Date: 16-04-2009

End Date:

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize some of mesta germplasm as per Hibiscus Descriptor for their morpho-agronomic attributes

Methodology:

The experiment was sown in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. The accessions were sown in 16 April,2009 with variety HS-24. Other standard cultural and intercultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. Twenty eight accessions viz. 1708, 1710, 2111, 1721, 1730, 1905, 2508, 2704, 2832, 2844, 2867, 2912, 2934, 2938, 2943, 2946, 2948, 3296, 3365, 3367, 3373, 3661, 4040, 4065, 4680, 4819, 5097, 3114 were characterized.
