Abstract

The experiment was conducted in two locations namely Manikganj and Noakhali to evaluate the effect of geographic position on the performance of seed yield and yield contributing characters of BJRI Tossa Pat-8. The result of data analysis revealed that the seed yield of BJRI Tossa Pat-8 in Manikganj (7.30g) was higher than the yield of Noakhali (5.63g). On the basis of morphology such as plant height, top diameter, base diameter, capsule length, number of seeds/pod, number of pods/plant & number of branches/plant, superior performance of Manikganj was observed to Noakhali. It was worth noticing that germination percentage of seeds of Manikganj (95%) was overwhelmingly higher than the seeds of Noakhali (84%). Geographic position also exerts significant effect on seed emergence and 1000 seed weight. Seeds harvested from Manikganj witnessed 90% of field emergence in contrast to only 72% in Noakhali. Similarly, a significant difference in 1000 seed weight was observed, 1000-seed weight of the seeds of Manikganj and Noakhali were 2.098g and 1.892g respectively.
