Forecasting Tomato Variety for Different Seasons and Regions of Bangladesh
Journal Title: American Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Innovation (AJMRI) - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
An experiment was carried out at the "Horticulture Nursery and Germplasm Centre", of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, to find out suitable temperature, variety for winter season and promising heat tolerant variety for summer season in different regions of Bangladesh. The experiment comprised of ten varieties of tomato namely, BARI tomato 2 (Roton), BARI tomato 3, BARI tomato 9 (Lalima), BARI tomato 14, Surakkha, BARI hybrid tomato 5, BARI hybrid tomato 6, Mintoo tomato (Lal Teer Seed Ltd.), Tidy tomato (Metal Seed Ltd.) and Roma VF (ACI Seed Ltd) and three temperature conditions viz., normal temperature (10-20°C), medium temperature (21-25°C) and high temperature (26-35°C). All of the treatments were arranged into the pots. There were altogether 30 treatment combinations with three replications. The experiment was laid out in a Split-plot Design. Both different temperature conditions, varieties of tomato independently and also in combination showed significant influence on different parameters of tomato plant. Medium temperature was noticed for healthy growth and flowering but not for higher yield and yield traits. Variety engaged in vegetative acceleration (Tidy, BARI tomato 3), did not convalesced yield and yield attributes. The highest total chlorophyll (1.29 mg/gfw) in leaves and fruit weight per plant (2.06 kg) were recorded from the variety BARI tomato 2. In normal/low temperature conditions the variety Mintoo gave the highest yield (66.68 t/ha) where variety BARI tomato 2 (65.50 t/ha) was identical. Reversely, the lowest fruit weight per plant (40.23 t/ha) was found from the variety Mintoo in the high temperature but the variety BARI tomato 2 provided the highest yield (49.39 t/ha). BARI tomato 2 also afforded higher yield in medium temperature, where Roma VF and BARI tomato 3 were also closely associated. These results indicated the higher heat tolerance ability of BARI tomato 2 and lower tolerance ability of variety Mintoo. Therefore, BARI tomato 2 might be recommend for all seasons and regions of Bangladesh. Meanwhile, variety Mintoo might be recommended only for winter and for northern region whereas Roma VF and BARI tomato 3 for middle-southern region during autumn seasons of Bangladesh.
