Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study with five mango varieties i.e. BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3, BARI Aam-4 and BARI Aam-8 was conducted at the existing five years old mango orchard containing at the hill valley of Agricultural Research Station of Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District during 2013-14. Mmaximum plant height (518.30 cm), base girth (62 cm), number of fruits per plant (288.30), fruit length (10.93 cm) and yield (20.01 t/ha) were observed in BARI Aam-8. The lowest number of fruits per plant (96.33), edible portion (70.51%) and fruit yield (5.32%) were found in BARI Aam-1. The biggest fruit (413.10 g) and the highest edible portion (84.50%) were noted in BARI Aam-4. Maximum TSS (22.67%) was recorded in BARI Aam-3 and minimum (16.33%) in BARI Aam-2.

Keywords: Mango, Yield, Edible portion, TSS, Chittagong Hill Tracts

Location: Raikhali , Rangamati district

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To observe the performance of BARI released mango varieties in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the existing six years old mango orchard of BARI Aam-1, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3, BARI Aam-4 and BARI Aam-8 at the hill valley of Agricultural Research Station of Raikhali in Rangamati Hill District during 2013-14. The experiment was set in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) maintaining 6 × 6 m spacing. The soil was fertilized with well decomposed cowdung @ 15 kg/plant, 230 g N, 42 g P₂O₅ and 54 g K₂O per plant per year. NPK were applied in the form of urea, TSP and MoP, respectively. The fertilizers were applied in two equal installments in a year. First installment was applied during May and the second in September. Intercultural operations like weeding, irrigation, mulching etc were done as and when necessary. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were taken duly. Data were statistically analyzed using MSTATC program.

Achievement/Findings:

Based on number of fruits per plant and fruit yield with higher TSS, individual fruit weight, fruit volume and edible portion BARI Aam-8 was noted superior over all other varieties under study in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Though, BARI Aam-2, BARI Aam-3 and BARI Aam-4 were found promising for their satisfactory yield in CHT, BARI Aam-1 may be suggested as a suitable early sweet variety.
