Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was carried out at Madaripur sadar and Shibchar charland areas in Madaripur district of Bangladesh under Low Ganges River Floodplain soil (AEZ-12) during 2012 and 2013 to evaluate the adaptive and varietal performance of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) in respect of yield and yield contributing characters in charland areas of the district. Six BARI released varieties viz. BARI Mung-1, BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-3, BARI Mung-4, BARI Mung-5 and BARI Mung-6 were tested for the experiment. The trial of mungbean was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The blanket dose of N₂₀ P₃₀ K₂₀ S₁₀Zn_2.0B_1.0kg ha^-1 was applied. Result revealed that among the varieties BARI Mung-6 gave the highest seed yield (1809 kg/ha) in Madaripur sadar and (1730 kg/ha) in Shibchar, respectively and showed low disease reaction of MYMV. The lowest grain yield was recorded in BARI Mung-1 (1351 kg/ha) in Madaripur sadar and (1262 kg/ha) in Shibchar. So, BARI Mung-6 may be considered for new created fertile charland as suitable and adaptive variety of mungbean in Bangladesh.

Keywords: Mungbean, Charland, Yield

Location: Madaripur

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

The experiment was undertaken to find out suitable and adaptive HYV of mungbean for charland areas of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

A field experiment was carried out at Madaripur sadar and Shibchar charland areas in Madaripur districts of Low Ganges River Floodplain soil (AEZ-12) during 2013 to evaluate the adaptive and varietal performance of mungbean in respect of yield and yield contributing characters in charland areas of the district where flood water creates alluvial layer of soil in every year. This new soil is fertile. Initial soil samples (0-15 cm depth) were collected from experimental field and dried in the air through passing a 2-mm sieve and analyzed their physical and chemical properties following standard methods. The sample soil of Madaripur sadar was loamy in texture having 1.25% organic matter (OM), 0.076% N, 17 µg g^-1 P , 0.14 meq.100 g^-1K, 20 µg g^-1 S, 10.1 meq.100 g^-1Ca, 3.2 meq.100 g^-1Mg, 0.69 µg g^-1Zn and 0.14 µg g^-1 B. The soil pH was measured to be 7.1. The initial soil of Shibchar was silt loam in texture having 1.15% organic matter (OM), 0.069% N, 16 µg g^-1 P , 0.13 meq.100 g^-1K, 18 µg g^-1 S, 10.2 meq.100 g^-1Ca, 3.3 meq.100 g^-1Mg, 0.65 µg g^-1Zn and 0.15 µg g^-1 B. The soil pH was measured to be 7.0. Six BARI released varieties viz. BARI Mung-1, BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-3, BARI Mung-4, BARI Mung-5 and BARI Mung-6 were tested for the experiment. The field trial of mungbean was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Unit plot sizes were 4 m X 3.2 m with spacing of 30 cm X 10 cm. The land of both areas was prepared by power tiller thrugh three tillage. The blanket dose of N₂₀ P₃₀ K₂₀ S₁₀Zn_2.0B_1.0kg ha^-1 was applied after final land preparation. Seeds were sown on 20 March, 2012-13 at Madaripur and 25, March, 2012-13 at Shibchar. One weeding was done in the trial after 20 days of sowing. Two sprays with insecticide (Karate) were done in mungbean at flowering stage after 12 days interval. The crop was harvested after maturity. Data on yield contributing characters were recorded from 10 randomly selected plants from each plot and seed yield (kg/ha) were recorded from whole plot and stover yield were counted from 1 m² land and analyzed statistically through MSTAT-C. The disease severity was recorded through 1-9 scoring scale. The cost & return analysis and benefit cost ratio (BCR) was analyzed on the basis of total expenditure and return of the respective variety. Variety wise management cost was calculated by adding the cost incurred for labours and inputs for each treatment.The total yield of each variety was utilized to calculate the gross return. It was measured by multiplying the total yield by the unit price of mungbean at that time. Net return was calculated by subtracting management cost from gross return.

Achievement/Findings:

The experiment found that BARI Mung-6 produced the highest yield and showed low disease reaction of MYMV at both locations. Therefore, BARI Mung-6 could be considered as suitable and adaptive variety for charland areas of Bangladesh.
