OFRD, BARI, Gazipur

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at the MLT site Munshiganj during kharif I of 2008 to evaluate the performance of mungbean varieties viz. BARI mung 4, BARI mung 5, BARI mung 6, BINA mung 5, BINA mung 6 and local. Higher yield was obtained from BARI mung 6 (1125 kg/ha) followed by BINA mung 6 (1008). Pods per plant and 100-seed weight were higher in BARI mung 6 which resulted higher yield.

Keywords: Performance, mungbean, potato-mungbean cropping pattern

Location: MLT site, Munshiganj

Start Date: 21-03-2008

End Date: 20-05-2008

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Mungbean, Potato

Objectives:

To find out the suitable variety of mungbean as succeeding crop of potato in Munshiganj situation

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the MLT site Munshiganj during the kharif I of 2008. Six varieties of mungbean viz.BARI mung 4, BARI mung 5, BARI mung 6, BINA mung 5, BINA mung 6 and local were tested for evaluating their performance. The seeds were sown on 21 March, 2008. As high dose of fertilizers were applied in the potato, no additional fertilizer was applied in mungbean. All intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. The crop was harvested two times during May 2008. Data on yield and yield attributes along with other parameter were collected properly and subjected to statistically analysis.

Achievement/Findings:

The significant variations were found in the number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, weight of seeds and in the yield. The highest numbers of pods per plant were found in BARI mung 6, but it was similar with BARI mung 5, BINA mung 5 and BINA mung 6 and even with local variety. There was no variation about the seeds per pod among the varieties. One hundred seed weight were significantly varied among the varieties. The highest seed weight was found in BARI mung 6 and the lowest from the local variety.Yellow mosaic virus was found in BARI mung- 4 in some cases. Pods per plant and seed weight influenced on the yield. Similar yield was found among the varieties except the local one. Farmers prefer BARI mung 6 for its higher yield
