FIELD EVALUATION OF SELECTED LENTIL MUTANTS AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS (Pages : 10 - 13)
M.T. ISLAM AND M.S. RAHMANLentil (Lens esculenta Medik.) is an important pulse crop with high protein content, has the potential capacity to combat nutritional deficiencies in developing regions and countries. The experiments were carried out with six mutants of lentil viz. LMI-3, LMM-4, LMM-5, LMM-6, LMM-7, LMM-9 and a check variety Binamasur-8 at different locations during November 2019-March 2020 and November 2020-March 2021. The locations were BINA sub-station farms, Ishurdi and Magura and farmers’ field at Ishurdi, Magura and Jhenaidah. The experiments were laid out following a randomized block design with three replications. Results revealed that almost all the studied parameters were significantly different among the genotypes. Higher number of pods was found in LMI3 and LMM-7. All the mutants out yielded the check variety Binamaur-8. However, LMM-7 produced the highest seed yield in all the locations.Download
