Ash Gourd

Due to depletion of per capita land, consistent stress on improving factor productivity has warranted many alternative cropping strategies. The intercropping effect of red amaranth (Amaranthus gangeticus Linn, var. BARI Lalshak-1), jute leaf (Corchorus capsularis, var. Local) and stem amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor var. BARI Data-1) on the yield performance and thereby economic return of ash gourd as main crop was tested in low nitrogen and medium phosphorus and potassium under Netrakona district of Bangladesh. The experiment consisted of four crop combinations viz., sole ash gourd, ash gourd + red amaranth, ash gourd + jute leaf and ash gourd+ stem amaranth.Companion vegetables did not influence on the yield and yield parameters of ash gourd. Although, the highest yield was obtained from sole ash gourd (34.11 t ha-1)which was close to ash gourd + jute leaf (30.65 t ha-1) followed by ash gourd + red amaranth ( 29.34 t ha-1) intercrop combination. By intercropping of ash gourd with different vegetables, total productivity increased up to 6-16% over sole ash gourd due to the contribution of companion crops. The highest ash gourd equivalent yield (39.61 t ha-1) was recorded from ash gourd + stem amaranth combination. Ash gourd + stem amaranth combination gave the highest monetary returns in respect of gross return (Tk. 296880 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 174433 ha-1). The LER and ATER value for all the treatments were above one and this indicated that intercropping in ash gourd is biologically efficient. Considering the experimental findings, ash gourd + stem amaranth might be suitable combination for higher productivity and economic return.Progressive Agriculture 28 (2): 92-99, 2017

The present study was undertaken with a view to develop an efficient protocol for in vitro multiple shoot formation and subsequent root induction considering various cultural aspects using nodal segments of Cucurbita maxima and Benincasa hispida. The best hormone for shoot multiplication of pumpkin was BAP (2 mg/l), incase of ash-gourd BAP was 1.5 mg/l. For callus induction BAP+2,4-D was best combination for pumpkin and it was 2.0+0.1 mg/l when in ash gourd BAP+NAA was the best combination. IBA + ½MS medium were used for induction of shoot bud root. In both of pumpkin and ash gourd 1.5 mg/l IBA was found best for induction of roots.

Genetic divergence among 46 ash gourd genotypes from different origins was investigated to select the parents for hybridization using Mahalanobis D2 statistics. Though the genotypes grouped into seven clusters, the pattern of distribution of the genotypes into different clusters were random indicating that the geographical isolation was not always related to genetic diversity. Characters like fruit weight, fruits per plant, days to first male flower and nodes for first male flower contributed considerably to the total divergence. Maximum inter-cluster distance between cluster III and IV indicating wide genetic divergence between the genotypes of these two clusters (cluster III and IV followed by cluster IV and VII). However, the intra-cluster distances were smaller than inter-cluster distances. Thus, crossing between the genotypes of these two groups (cluster III and IV) would produce high heterotic progeny and may produce new recombinants with desired traits.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjpbg.v20i1.17014

The effect of external application of phytohormone on explants viz., shoot tips and nodal segments of ash gourd (Benincasa hispida L.) was tested on the frequency of shoot and root induction. Shoot tips and nodal segments were cultured on MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of cytokinins (BAP, Kinetin), auxin (IBA, NAA) and gibberellic acid (GA3) for multiple shoot formation and root induction. The highest number (up to 90%) of multiple shoot formation was obtained from the shoot tips in MS medium fortified with 1.5 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l GA3, where average number of shoots per culture was 5.55. In case of nodal segment, better response (up to 78%) for shoot multiplication was found in MS with 2.0 mg/l BAP + 0.2 mg/l GA3. The concentration of 1.0 mg/l IBA was found to be most effective for root initiation in microshoot developed from both types of explants. Rooted plantlets were acclimatatized and established in sandy soil with good survival rate DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jles.v8i0.20135 J. Life Earth Sci., Vol. 8: 17-20, 2013

An experiment was conducted to study the field performance, variability and genetic divergence for yield and yield contributing characters of 46 ash gourd genotypes at the Horticulture Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Wide range of variations were found among the ash gourd genotypes in respect of different parameters such as vine length at harvest, fruit length, fruit diameter, sex ratio, number of fruits plant-1, average weight fruit-1 and yield plant-1. The genotype BH21 showed the highest performance in number of fruits plant-1 and yield plant-1. In respect of average weight fruit-1, the genotype BH16 produced the heaviest (1.86 kg) fruit and the genotype BHl7 produced the lightest (0.67 kg) fruit. The genotype BH18 had the highest sex ratio (8.16) and the genotype BH14 had the lowest sex ratio (3.44). In case of number of fruits plant-1, the genotype BH46 and BH53 had the minimum number of fruits (1.33) and the genotype BH21 had the maximum number of fruits (16.16) per plant which was statistically similar with the genotype BH12 (15.00). The genotypes were also tested for genetic divergence utilizing the multivariate analysis. The genotypes were grouped into eight clusters. However, there was no relationship found between genetic divergence and geographic distribution of the genotypes.
