Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A crossing program was under taken at Joydebpur to develop variety(s) with high yield, dry fleshed and moderate carotene content. Six parents were included in this experiment. Almost all parents produced seeds. The highest number of seeds was collected from BARI SP-6 (182), followed by BARI SP-8 (97) and the lowest number of seeds produced by CIP-440001 (59). These seeds will be sown in nursery bed next year for vine production and evaluation.

Keywords: Sweet potato ,Hybridization

Location: TCRC, Joydebpur< Gazipur

Start Date: November, 2011

End Date: July 2012

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity:

Objectives:

Development of high yielding, dry fleshed and carotene containing sweet potato varieties.

Methodology:

The selected parents (high yielding-3, high dry matter containing-1 and carotene rich-2) were grafted on morning glory to initiate flowering and allowed to mate among themselves following random mating cross method. Ten plants from each parent were planted at random in non replicated trial. Planting distance was 1.0 x 1.0 m. The experiment was set up in pot on 15th October, 2011 and in the field on 25th November, 2011 at Joydebpur and seed collection was started from April,2012. Seeds were collected from mother plants.
