EVALUATION OF BAY LEAF (Cinnamomum tamala) CULTIVARS FOR QUALITY TRAITS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF DESIRABLE VARIETY (Pages : 29 - 34)

The study aimed to find out quality high leaf yielder verities for cultivars in Bangladesh. The trial was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI Shibgonj, Bogra during the Kharif season of 2013. Four different bay leaf cultivars viz: CTB001, CTB002, CTB003 and CTB004 were evaluated in terms of their leaf yield and yield contributing characters. Among the lines CTB004 produced the highest leaf length (15.50 cm in 2013 and 15.75 cm in 2014), highest leaf breath (5.75 cm in 2013 and 5.85 cm in 2014), lowest internodes distance (3.03 in 2013 and 3.31 cm in 2014), the highest leaf thickness (0.70 mm in 2013 and 0.71 mm in 2014), the highest dry matter (52.79% in 2013 and 54.16% in 2014), highest petiole length (1.32 cm in 2013 and 1.5 cm in 2014) and the lowest disease incidence (6.79% in 2013 and 7.44% in 2014) was recorded from CTB004 and the highest leaf yield (green) ( 35.2 kg/plant/year in 2013 and 38.18 kg/plant/year 2014 year) was also obtained from CTB 004.Download
