The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Field Laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during November 2005 to July 2006. Twelve genotypes of bangladhonia (E. foetidum L.) were collected from different parts of Bangladesh and evaluated them to find out the variations. Most of the yield attributing characters and individual plant performances exhibited no significant differences among the germplasm. All the germplasm had the similar plant and leaf size, number of leaves/plant, weight of leaves/plant, flowering behavior, yields and other qualitative characters. The symmetric performance indicted that all germplasm belonging from the same species of E. foetidum L. and there was no major phenotypic or genotypic variation among the germplasm.

Variety and Species
1) To collect the germplasm from different places of Bangladesh and to evaluate them in the field.
2) To select the superior one for further study and release as a variety..
The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Field Laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during November 2005 to July 2006. The location of the experimental site was about 40 km North to Dhaka city with 24.09’ North latitude and 90.26o E longitude and an elevation of 8.50 m from the sea level (Anon., 1989). The experimental field belongs to the ‘Shallow red brown terrace’ soil of Salna series under Madhupur tract to AEZ -28. The pH value of the experimental soil was 5.9. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design having twelve Treatment (12 accessions) with three replications. The unit plot size was 3m×1m. Twelve germplasm were collected from Rangamati, Bandarban and Khagrachari districts and one was collected from Gazipur. Manures and fertilizers were applied @ Cowdung 15 ton, urea 350 kg, TSP 150 kg and MOP 200 kg per hectare. The entire amount of cowdung and TSP with one fourth of urea and MP were applied during final land preparation. The rest of the urea and MP were applied in three equal installments at 45, 75 and 105 days after sowing of seeds.black mosquito (nylon) nets (2mm loop) was hanged up to 1.5 meter over the experimental plots to maintain approximately 50% PAR, with the help of GI wire and bamboo poles in order to ensure soft, lengthy and succulent leaves. Qualitative and morphological data on leaf, stem, root and flower stalk morphology were recorded according to botanical descriptors.
Primary data
9,000/--
All germplasm belonging from the same species of Eryngium foetidum L. and there was no major phenotypic or genotypic variation among the collected germplasm.
