Eight well adapted wheat varieties received
from Regional Wheat Research Centre of Bangladesh
Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur were evaluated
in November-March’2018 at CARITAS beneficiary’s
field located Lama and Alikadam upazilla of Bandarban
district, Bangladesh. The varieties were raised following
complete randomized block design with four
replications. Morpho-agronomic traits were analyzed
using cropstat-5 software. This research aimed to
identify the potential wheat varieties for corresponding
in a Rice-Wheat-Maize cropping pattern ensuring better
crop production for food security. At Alikadam, among
eight varieties BARI GOM-32 observed as best
considering good yield despite of its short height (58.50
cm). However, significant difference did not observe in
the same parameter between the varieties except plant
height. At Lama, significant variations were found in
almost all of the parameters except Grain/spike and plot
yield. The highest grain/spike (40) and plot yield (12.38
kg) observed in BARI GOM 31 and BARI GOM-24 but
significant variations did not among the varieties.
Different morpho-agronomic parameters of the
mentioned eight wheat varieties at Alikadam and Lama
were compared.
