Abstract

A five-year-old drumstick germplasm (Accession No. MO Jam-001) was evaluated during 2017 at Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Jamalpur, Bangladesh to develop a late-season drumstick variety suitable for the agro-climatic condition of Bangladesh. This germplasm was considered as an off-seasonal promising line having 25-40 g average individual pod weight. This germplasm had the ability to produce flower three to four times a year. The germplasm under this study was harvested in April, May, and June-August. No major pests and diseases were found to attack this Moringa germplasm.
