Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh to evaluate the growth and yield performance of mustard lines during the period from October 2013 to March 2014. Twelve lines (coded from L₁ to L₁₂) were used on the experiment using Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Maximum leaves number (35.2/plant), number of branches (22.7/plant), photosynthetic rate (14.1 µmolm^-2s^-1), number of siliquae (222.0/plant), number of seeds (1997.0/plant) and yield (5.84 g/plant, 581.7 g/plot and 3.74 t/ha) with minimum 1000-seeds weight (2.92 g) was found from L₁. L₇ was found as best for seeds/siliquae (14.0) and 1000-seed weight (3.22 g). L₉ was also performed well after L₁ and provided 166.0 siliquae/plant, 1659.0 seeds/plant, 4.91 g seed/plant, 489.7 g seeds/plot and 3.26 t seeds/ha. But L₁ was the best line concerning yield.

Keywords: Mustard lines, Growth and yield, Performance

Location: Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-10-2013

End Date: 00-03-2014

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mustard

Objectives:

To evaluate the growth and yield performance of the mustard lines.

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during October 2013 to March 2014. Experiment consisted twelve mustard lines coded from L₁ to L₁₂ in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications. The size of unit plot was 1.5 m x 1.0 m. The distance between both blocks and plots were 0.5 m. Seeds were sown in lines maintaining 30 cm line to line distance. After the germination of the seeds, seedlings were maintained 5 cm plant to plant distance. Each of the plots contained 100 plants. Manures and fertilizers were applied as recommended by BARI (2011). Data were collected on plant height, leaves number, number of branches/plant, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate (A), days to 50% flowering, number of siliquae/plant, number of seeds/siliquae, number of seeds/plant, 1000-seed weight, seed yield/plant, seed yield/plot, seed yield/ha. Plant height, leaves number, number of branches/plant, chlorophyll content (using SPAD-502) and photosynthetic rate (using LC pro+) were measured at 60 DAT. Collected data were statistically analyzed using MSTAT-C computer package programme. Difference between treatments was assessed by Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

Finally it can be concluded that L₁ (Line 1) was yielded more than recommended varieties of our country and L₉ were also performed well. So, L₁ and L₉ may be used in the farmer’s field after further trial.
