Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The mutant N5J-521 showed late sowing potentiality and showed the best yield performance at both Feb. 20 (1041 kg ha^-1) and March 2 sowing (1695 kg ha^-1). The Check variety BARImoog-5 had higher sowing time plasticity and gave reasonable yield at both first (1120 kg ha^-1) on Feb.10 and 3rd sowing time (1127 kg ha^-1) on March 2. The yield of the line N5J-210, N2M-402 and check BARI moog-5 was followed by N5J-521 and they all showed best yield performance on March 2 sowing also. The better yield performance of the mutant line N5J-521 resulted from higher pod and seed number per plant.

Keywords: Time sowing, Mungbean and Yield.

Location: BINA Sub-station Farm, Magura

Start Date: 10-02-2006

End Date: 30-06-2007

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To Effect of time sowing on the growth and yield of mutants/varieties of summer mungbean

Methodology:

Three mungbean mutants along with one check varieties were grown under three dates of sowing during summer season, 2006. The mutants were E4I-915, N2M-402, N5J-521, N1J-210 and the check variety was BARI moog-5. The dates of sowing were Feb.10, Feb.20 and March 2, 2006. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The unit plot size was 3 m x 1.5 m. The basal doses of fertilizers were @ 25, 30 and 20 kg/ha of N, P2O5 and K2O, respectively. At maturity seed yield was recorded from the harvest of whole plot. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were collected from randomly selected 10 plants from each plot. The data were analyzed statistically using MSTAT-C software and the treatment means were compared by DMRT.

Achievement/Findings:

Four summer mungbean mutants viz. N2M-402, N1J-210, N5J-521 and E4I-915 and one check variety, BARI mung-5 were evaluated in three sowing times at Magura. Mutant N5J-521 produced the highest seed yield on both Feb.20 (1041 kg ha^-1) and March 2 (1695 kg ha^-1) sowing. BARI mung-5 resulted in higher sowing time plasticity and produced reasonable yield on Feb. 10 (1120 kg ha^-1) and on March 2 (1127 kg ha^-1) sowing.
