BAU germplasm center Bangladesh
The centre is the second largest of its kind,
the largest being Miami Germplasm Centre in Florida in the United States of
America
The Germplasm Centre
at the Bangladesh Agriculture University (BAU) has so far released more than 70
varieties of fruit as scientists work incessantly to bring about a ‘fruit
revolution’ in the country.
The Centre was set up
in 1991at the university under a ‘Fruit Tree Improvement Project’ with
financial aid from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and
Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA). Professor Dr M A Rahim, an
eminent scientist of the Horticulture department of BAU heads the Germplasm
Centre as its Director since its establishment.
The centre is the
second largest of its kind, the largest being Miami Germplasm Centre in Florida
in the United States of America.
Among the huge
collection of rare fruit trees, there are almost 11,245 mother trees of 688
varieties of 175 fruit species in the centre under four categories, viz
domestic major and minor fruits (including endangered fruits), foreign and
medicinal fruits.
The country’s popular
BAU-Kul is one of the species that was developed at the centre. Other
registered fruits released from the centre were about 17 varieties of mango, 10
varities of guava, five varities of lime, four varities of lychee, three
varieties of kul, carambola (kamranga), wax apple (jamrul), dragon fruit, lemon
and sofeda (sapodilla), two varieties of longan (lakta) and tamarind, and one
variety of olive, amlaki, lotkan, fig, malta, wood apple (kadbel), country
gooseberry (orboroi), strawberry, almond, jackfruit, plum and rambutan.
The centre has also
released three varieties of garlic, two of carrots, one of sweet pumpkin and
six varieties of potato, Germplasm sources said.
Germplasm Centre has
signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with many government institutions,
NGOs and foreign institutions to spread the technology as well develop fruit
trees for the root level farmers and nurseries.
It offers training to
nursery cultivators, farmers and NGO workers to improve their skills in
commercial fruit cultivation in the country. Superior quality saplings are sold
to people at cheap rate to spread these fruit varieties across the country.
US Ambassador to
Bangladesh, Dan W Mozena visited the Germplasm Centre on July 17, 2012 and
expressed his satisfaction over its development work.
Talking to the Dhaka
Tribune about the foundation of Asia’s largest Germplasm Centre, its Director
Prof Rahim said that he started research on fruits from the inception of his
teaching career at BAU. He has brought rare varieties of fruit-seeds from the
various countries he had visited and tried to grow them at the Germplasm
Centre. He also collected many local fruit varieties including endangered ones
for research, development and conservation in the ‘live fruit museum.’
They were able to
release the 70 fruit varieties and a few varieties of vegetable so far as a
number of students.

Bangladesh Guava
Guava (payara)
a berry like fruit of any of various myrtaceous trees or shrubs of the genus Psidium, especially P. guajava (family Myrtaceae). It originated in
tropical America (Mexico to Peru), where it still occurs in the wild. Guava is
often called the "apple of the tropics". The plant was introduced by
the portuguese to the Indian subcontinent by the
early 17th century. Guava stands fifth in production among the most important
fruit crops of Bangladesh and can be grown all over the country. The annual
production is about 45,000 m tons in an area of about 10,000 ha. The districts
of Barisal, Pirojpur, Jhalokathi, and Chittagong are the main guava producing
areas. Some of the important varieties are known by the name of the places
where these are grown commercially. Thus Swarupkathi is from Barisal,
Mukundapuri from Brahmanbaria and Kanchannagar from Chittagong.
Kazi, introduced from Thailand, is the only standard variety
that has been released by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute. It
produces fruits weighing up to 500 g or even more. All the other varieties have
fruit weights ranging from 100 to 200 g; can be propagated by seed, stem
cutting, budding, grafting and air layering. Mobile -01713479525

ছাদে কি কি গাছ লাগাবেন ড্রাগন ফলের চাষ
ছাদে কি কি গাছ লাগাবেন :
ছাদে বাগান করার সময় লক্ষ রাখতে হবে যেন গাছটি বড় আকারের না হয়। অর্থাৎ ছোট আকারের গাছ লাগাতে হবে এবং ছোট আকারের গাছে যেন বেশি ফল ধরে সে জন্য হাইব্রিড জাতের ফলদ গাছ লাগানো যেতে পারে। আম্রপালি ও মলি্লকা জাতের আম, পেয়ারা, আপেল কুল, জলপাই, করমচা, শরিফা, আতা, আমড়া, লেবু, ডালিম, পেঁপে, এমনকি কলা গাছও লাগানো যাবে। ছাদ বাগানের প্রথম শর্ত হচ্ছে, গাছ বাছাই। জেনে, বুঝে, বিশ্বস্ত নার্সারি, বন্ধুবান্ধবের কাছ থেকে গাছ সংগ্রহ করতে হবে। বেঁটে প্রজাতির অতিদ্রুত বর্ধনশীল ও ফল প্রদানকারী গাছই ছাদ বাগানের জন্য উত্তম। বীজের চারা নয়, কলমের চারা লাগালে অতিদ্রুত ফল পাওয়া যায়। আজকাল বিভিন্ন ফলের গুটি কলম, চোখ কলম ও জোড় কলম পাওয়া যাচ্ছে। ছাদ বাগানের জন্য এসব কলমের চারা সংগ্রহ করতে পারলে ভালো হয়। টবে আমের মধ্যে আম্রপালি, আলফানসো, বেঁটে প্রজাতির বারোমেসে, লতা, ফিলিপাইনের সুপার সুইট, রাঙ্গু আই চাষ করা যেতে পারে। লেবুর মধ্যে কাগজিলেবু, কমলা, মালটা, নারকেলি লেবু, কামকোয়াট, ইরানিলেবু, বাতাবিলেবু (অ্যাসেম্বল) টবে খুবই ভালো হয়। এ ছাড়া কলমের জলপাই, থাইল্যান্ডের মিষ্টি জলপাই, কলমের শরিফা, কলমের কদবেল, ডালিম, স্ট্রবেরি, বাউকুল, আপেলকুল, নারিকেলকুল, লিচু, থাইল্যান্ডের লাল জামরুল, গ্রিন ড্রপ জামরুল, আপেল জামরুল, আঙ্গুর পেয়ারা, থাই পেয়ারা, ফলসা, খুদে জাম, আঁশফল, জোড় কলমের কামরাঙা, এমনকি ক্যারালা ড্রফ প্রজাতির নারিকেলের চাষ করা যেতে পারে। সঠিক মানের চারা হলে এক বছরের মধ্যেই ফল আসে। আজকাল বিদেশ থেকে উন্নত মানের কিছু চারা কলম দেশে আসছে। ছাদ বাগানের সাধ পূরণ করার জন্য এসব সংগ্রহ করে লাগাতে পারেন। বাহারি পাতার জামরুল, পেয়ারা, সফেদা গাছও বিভিন্ন নার্সারিতে এখন কিনতে পাওয়া যাচ্ছে। ছাদে এসব গাছ লাগানো হলে ছাদ বাগানের সৌন্দার্য বৃদ্ধি পায়
Dhaka has been moving towards urban
agriculture. Many facets of agriculture are taking quite strong shape in Dhaka
in order to earn money by the hitherto unemployed city dwellers. The demands of
city agricultural products can be met through urban and semi-urban agricultural
practices. These demands in fact led to development of small-scale urban
vegetable, floriculture and horticulture gardening, poultry, fisheries and
livestock production.
Floriculture is an important aspect of Dhaka
daily life. Every day there are marriages, birthday parties, meetings etc.
where flowers are essential to grace the occasion. Growing markets have also
sprung up in different corners of the city to cater the needs of the city
dwellers. It creates a lot of job opportunities for the hither unemployed
people and brings money to improve their livelihood. To meet the demand of the huge population of Dhaka, a vast quantity of fruits is needed. To meet the demand and earn money out of selling fruits, fruit plantations have developed in a small scale in the city as well as in the periphery in a scattered way.
Demand for fresh vegetables is increasing in Dhaka, a part of which can be met by growing vegetables in the city itself. Demand for poultry, meat and eggs is growing in the city. It is a lucrative business and brings good money for the people engaged in the business. Ample scope is there to further widen the poultry business in the city. Mobile-01713479525
