Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at the Citrus Research Station, Jaintiapur, Sylhet with twenty one local mango germplasm during August 2012 to July 2013. A wide variation was observed regarding plant height, base girth, spreading, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, edible portion and TSS of different germplasm. The highest plant height was recorded in MI Jai-007 while maximum base girth was found in MI Jai-017. MI Jai-007 showed highest canopy size while MI Jai-021 was the lowest. Fruits of MI Jai-009 were harvested in late May which was early in the fruiting season and may be considered as an early variety. The highest number of fruit per plant (1343) and fruit yield/plant (233.68 kg) was obtained from MI Jai-005. The highest fruit weight was achieved from MI Jai-034 (237.0 g) followed by MI Jai-040 (230.0 g) and MI Jai-012 (227.0 g) Edible portion was recorded the highest in MI Jai-017 (69.27%) whereas maximum TSS (17.2%) was obtained from MI Jai-020.

Keywords: Mango germplasm, Yield, Quality, North eastern hilly regions

Location: CRS, BARI, Jaintapur, Sylhet

Start Date: 00-08-2012

End Date: 00-07-2013

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mango

Objectives:

To select suitable line(s) of mango that may be released as variety for high rainfall area of north eastern hilly regions of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the CRS, BARI, Jaintapur, Sylhet from August 2012 to July, 2013. Twenty one local mango germplasm were included in the experiment. Three full cover spray applications with Cyrmcare 10 EC @ 1 ml/L along with Bavistin 50WP @ 2 g/L were done; first at the flower initiation stage when the panicle was around two inches long; second at the pea stage of fruit and third spray at the marble stage of the fruit. These sprays prevented the fruit from the attack of mango fruit weevil. The recorded data on different parameters were statistically analyzed using MSTAT-C programme.
