Abstract
The
study was conducted at the Horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from December 2011 to May 2012
to evaluate the performance of
Japanese bunching onion (Allium
fistulosum L.) lines in
Bangladesh condition. Three Japanese bunching onion lines viz. L1:
White star, L2: Moto kura and L3: Akahige or Red hero
were tested in this study. The
experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three
replications. Statistically significant variation was recorded for most of the
characters of Japanese bunching onion lines. Tallest plant (60.7 cm), maximum
number of leaves (8.3), maximum leaf area (333.0 cm), fresh weight of leaves plant-1 (81.7 g),
pseudostem length (13.2 cm), pseudostem
diameter (20.8 mm), fresh weight
of pseudostem plant-1 (28.5 g), yield plot-1 (2.9 kg) of pseudostem and highest yield of
pseudostem (14.3 tha-1) were found in L2,
whereas the lowest was recorded from L3. Moto kura was found
suitable for cultivation in Bangladesh.
Key words:
Allium fistulosum, lines, growth and
yield.
