Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Four mungbean cultivars viz., Binamung-2, Binamung-5, BARImung-2 and BARImung-4 were planted on eight sowing dates of January 1, January 15, February 1, February 15, March 1, March 15, March 31 and April 15 to know optimum sowing date for getting maximum yield of summer mungbean in the northern region of Bangladesh. Results revealed that all the cultivars sown within period 15 February to 31 March produced significantly higher seed yield compared to earlier or later dates. The maximum seed yields were obtained when all the varieties planted on 1 March in both years due to higher number of pods/plant. Binamung-5 produced the highest seed yield when planted within 1 March to 15 March in both years. The average seed yield over sowing dates, Binamung-2 performed the best among the four cultivars.

Keywords: Mungbean, Time of sowing, Performance, Variety

Location: Experimental farm, BINA, Rangpur

Start Date: 01-01-1999

End Date: 28-07-2000

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To know optimum sowing date for getting maximum seed yield summer mungbean at the northern region of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

Experiments were conducted at Experimental farm of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, Rangpur during January to July of 1999 and 2000. The experiment comprised of eight sowing dates viz., January 1, January 15, February 1, February 15, March 1, March 15, March 31 and April 15 and four cultivars viz., Binamung-2, Binamung-5, BARImung-2 and BARImung-4. The experiments were laid out in a spli plot design with 4 replicates assigning sowing dates in the main plots and cultivars in the sub-plots. Unit plot size was 3m x 3m with 30 cm x 10 cm plant spacing. Recommended fertilizers were applied during final land preparation. At harvest, data on yield components were taken from 10 randomly selected plants of each plot and seed yield was taken from the whole plot. The collected data were analyzed statistically.
