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 analyze the variations. Most of the yield attributing characters and individual plant performances exhibited insignificant differences among the genotypes. All the genotype had the similar plant and leaf size, number of leaves/plant, weight of leaves/plant, flowering behavior, yields and other qualitative characters. Greater positive correlation was observed between plant populations with yield performances. The symmetric performance indicted that all the genotype belongs from the same species of E. foetidum L. and there was no major phenotypic or genotypic variation among them.

1) To evaluate the performance of germplasn giving similar input facilities
2) Multtivariate analysis of evaluation dats to asses the variation.
The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Field Laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during November 2005 to July 2006. 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.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 MOP were applied during final land preparation. The rest of the urea and MOP were applied in three equal installments at 45, 75 and 105 days after sowing of seeds. Black mosquito (nylon) nets (2mm loop) was hanged at 1.5 meter height over the experimental plots to maintain approximately 50% photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), with the help of GI wire and bamboo poles in order to ensure soft, lengthy and succulent leaves. All the data were compiled properly and analyzed statistically using MS-Excel and SPSS Program. Descriptive analysis and Hierarchical cluster analysis using different yield attributing and other characters were conducted using SPSS and Genstat program, respectively.

This result ensured the assumption of the sources of variation in respect to yield and yield attributes are mostly depends on plant population which was determined by seed quality or germination percentage of seeds. Seed quality might be varied due to collection time, storage variation, purity of seeds, and other factors which as not equally performed in all germplasm. Thus the variation seems to be environmental and genetic variation might not be the major exterminator.
Most of the yield attributing characters and individual plant performances exhibited insignificant 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. Greater positive co-relation was observed between plant populations with yield performances. 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
