Abstract:

The experiment was conducted in the research field of Society and Human Development Organization, Tangail (SAHDOT) during November 2013 to March 2014 to investigate the morphological characteristics of rapeseed varieties Tori-7, SAU Sharisha-1 and Sampad. The seeds were grown under field condition and the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of the cultivars were determined. Data on different characteristics were recorded to find out the differences for different cultivars of rapeseed (Brassica campestris). The highest plant height (98.30 cm) was recorded for the SAU Sharisha-1, while the lowest (80.05 cm) was recorded for Sampad. The maximum number of primary branches plant-1 (9.90) was recorded for the SAU Sharisha-1 and while the minimum (7.80) was recorded for Sampad. The minimum number of secondary branches plant-1 (4.80) was recorded for cultivar SAU Sharisha-1. The maximum number of siliqua plant-1 (232.00) was recorded for the SAU Sharisha-1 and the minimum number of siliqua (142.00) was recorded for Sampad. The longest length of siliqua (4.60 cm) was recorded for the SAU Sharisha-1, while the shortest length of siliqua (3.65 cm) was recorded for Sampad. The maximum number of seeds siliqua-1 (17.63) was recorded for cultivar SAU Sharisha-1, while the minimum (12.25) was recorded for Tori-7. The highest thousand seed weight (0.883 g) was recorded for the SAU Sharisha-1, while the lowest (0.212 g) was recorded for Sampad. The highest yield (1.17 t ha-1) was recorded for the SAU Sharisha-1, while the lowest yield (0.89 t ha-1) was recorded for Sampad.
