Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Sixteen intraspecific hybrid progenies of smooth mesta was raised at Manikganj and Faridpur. None of the hybrid progeny out yielded the control HS-24 at both the stations. But 4 plants (L-80, 86, 89 and 96) were selected from the lines were smooth, prickle free and early maturing at Manikganj and 3 plants (L-75, 86, 96) were selected from Faridpur. The smoothness and early maturing characteristics were of great importance in mesta breeding as to fit this crop with suitable cropping patterns. The selected lines were used for hybridization to develop new hybrid progeny.

Keywords: Preliminary yield trial,Early maturing, Mesta, Intraspecific hybrid

Location: JAES, Manikgonj and Faridpur

Start Date: 25-05-2009

End Date: 27-08-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mesta

Objectives:

To evolve an early maturing Mesta having smooth plants and also more biomass in comparison to recommended cultivar per unit time

Methodology:

An experiment was laid out with sixteen progenies of Mesta (L-34-B-3/96, L-71-B-3/96, L-75-B-3/96, L-77-B-3/96, L-78-B-3/96, L-79-B-3/96, L-80-B-3/96, L-82-B-3/96, L-86-B-3/96, L-87-B-3/96, L-88-B-3/96, L-89-B-3/96, L-92-B-3/96, L-96-B-3/96, L-134-B-3/96 and L-138-B-3/96 ) and a check variety HS-24 at two regional stations viz. Faridpur and JAES, Manikganj to study their yield and yield attributes. These progenies were grown in 2 rows of 3 meter length in each replication. At the age of 120 days, data were recorded on days to first flowering, plant population, plant height, base diameter, green weight, fibre weight and stick weight. Standard agronomic practices were followed for uniform growth.

Achievement/Findings:

The result showed that none of the hybrid progeny out yielded the control HS-24 at both the stations. But 4 plants (L-80, 86, 89 and 96) were selected from the lines were smooth, prickle free and early maturing at Manikganj and 3 plants (L-75, 86, 96) were selected from Faridpur. The smoothness and early maturing characteristics were of great importance in mesta breeding as to fit this crop with suitable cropping patterns. The selected lines will be used for hybridization to develop new hybrid progeny.
