Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Fifteen kenaf and 15 mesta accessions were grown at JAES, Manikganj during the year 2010 having 2 lines of 3 m long rows. After 45 days of plant age 2-3 plants from each row were uprooted at 15 days interval and examined for root-knot nematode infestations. It was observed that root-knot nematode attacks kenaf plant mostly in August-September and not a single accession was free from nematode attack while mesta accessions were free from root-knot nematode attack. On the other hand, none accession of kenaf and mesta were affected by spiral borer.

Keywords: Screening, Kenaf and Mesta, Stress tolerance

Location: JAES, Manikgonj

Start Date: 00-00-2010

End Date: 00-00-2010

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mesta, kenaf

Objectives:

1) To select genotypes for high yielding and desirable traits from gene bank collection

2) To find out any germ plasm which is diseases and pest resistant from collected gene bank.

Methodology:

Fifteen kenaf and 15 Mesta accessions and check varieties HC-2, HC-95, BJRI Kenaf-3 and HS-24 were grown at JAES, Manikganj during the year 2010 having 2 lines of 3m long row. Proper intercultural operation and standard agronomic practices were followed for uniform growth. After 45 days of plant age 2-3 plants from each row were up rooted at 15 days interval and examined for root-knot nematode infestations.
