Morphological variabilities in bangladhonia (eryngium foetidum l.) germplasm available in bangladesh

Abstract

Abstract : The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Field Laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during November 2005 to July 2006. Twelve genotypes of Dangladhonia (£. foetidum L.) were collected from different parts of Bangladesh and evaluated them to find out the variations. Most of the yield attributing characters and individual plant performances exhibited no significant differences among the germplasm. All the germplasm had the similar plant and leaf size, number of leaves/plant, weight of leaves/plant, flowering behavior, yields and other qualitative characters.The symmetric performance indicted that all germplasm belonging from the same species of E. foetidum L. and there was no major phenotypic or genotypic variation among the germplasm.
