EVALUATION OF GROWTH, PHENOLOGY AND YIELD OF DIFFERENT CAPSICUM GENOTYPES UNDER MODHUPUR TRACT AGRO-ECOLOGICAL ZONE OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 5 - 9)
Q.M. AHMED, A.K.M.A. HOQUE, S. ROY, M.A. ISLAM AND S. KUNDUThe performance of elite color capsicum genotypes for growth and yield parameters were evaluated under (AEZ-28: Modhupur Tract) at Narsingdi region which is nearly the center of Bangladesh especially in the Regional Horticulture Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) at Shibpur in Narsingdi during rabi season of 2015 to 2016. Six colored capsicum genotypes viz., ‘California Wonder’, ‘CA 0025 F1’, ‘Yellow Square’, ‘Red Master F1’, ‘Yolo Wonder’ and variety ‘BARI Mistimorich-1’ as a check. Under the agro climatic condition at AEZ-28 most of genotypes performed well. Considering the plant growth characteristics and phenology, such as plant height, early flowering dates and the longest harvest duration, line ‘CA 0025 F1’ was found the best in this region. In case of yield contributing characteristics, the maximum (16.67) fruits plant-1 was recorded from the line ‘CA 0025 F1’ and the minimum (8.84) was recorded from the line ‘Yellow Square’. However, individual fruit weight was found the highest in ‘Red Master F1’ (148.71 g) whereas, the lowest was found from line ‘CA 0025 F1’ (43.39 g). In prospect of yield, ‘Red Master F1’ produced 22.05 t ha-1, followed by check variety ‘BARI Mistimorich-1’ (19.64 t ha-1), followed by California Wonder (17.90 t ha-1). The maximum seeds fruit-1 and thousand seed weight was found in line ‘CA 0025 F1’ (122.2 and 5.17 g), followed by ‘Red Master F1’ and ‘California Wonder’. Download
