Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj to characterize of thirty one accessions of kenaf germ plasm collected from different sources were sown on 28 March, 2000 along with the check varieties HC-2 and HC-95. 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. The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes as per Hibiscus descriptor. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected. 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 fiber weight and dry stick weight accessions 3745, 4140, 4973 and 5005 performed better than the check varieties HC-2 and HC-95.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Disease and pest status, attributes, yYeld

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj

Start Date: 28-03-2000

End Date: 27-07-2000

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize the kenaf germ plasm as per Hibiscus Descriptor for their morpho-agronomic attributes, diseases and pest infestation status.

Methodology:

The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with three replications. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The accessions were sown on , 2000 with check varieties HC-2 and HC-95. Other standard cultural and intercultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Disease and pest infestation data were collected from sowing to before harvesting period. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected.
