Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at TCRC, Joydebpur during November 2010 to September 2011. The treatments comprised of eight types age of sucker viz. one to eight month old sucker (A₁ to A₈ ) and control treatment where two months old suckers were planted at the time of Boro rice transplanting. The treatments significantly influenced the growth, yield contributing characters and yield of Panikachu. The highest stolon yield (20.39 t/ha) was obtained in control followed by A₈ (9.99 t/ha) and A7 (9.74 t/ha). The BCR was also highest in Control (1.80) followed by A₈(1.51) and A7 (1.49).

Keywords: Age, Sucker, Growth, Yield, Late planting panikachu

Location: Joydebpur, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2010

End Date:

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Aroids

Objectives:

To find out the optimum age of sucker for late planting Panikachu mainly after harvest of Boro rice for higher and economic yield.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at TCRC, Joydebpur during November 2010 to September 2011. The treatments comprised of eight types age of sucker viz. one month old (A₁), two months old (A₂). three months old (A₃), four months old (A₄), five months old (A₅), six months old (A₆), seven months old (A₇) and eight months old (A₈) and control where two months old suckers were planted at the time of Boro rice transplanting. Around one month old suckers were transplanted in seed bed from each of 1st date of November to April for obtaining desired 8 to 3 months old seedlings at a spacing of 30 cm × 30 cm. Boro rice was transplanted at 04 January 2011. Data on growth, yield component and yield of Panikachu were recorded and were analyzed statistically and means were separated by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Cost and return analysis was also done.
