Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of different management levels on the growth and yield of two varieties e.g. Bragg and Davis of soybean (Glycine max). The levels of management under study were poor, low, medium and high. In average performance, the two varieties were found to be identical in number of branches and pods per plant and seed yield. On an average, maximum number of branches and pods per plant as well as the highest seed yield were recorded with the medium level of management. As per variety x level interaction the highest seed yield was recorded with Bragg at medium and Davis at high level.

Keywords: Evaluation, Seed yield, Soybean

Location: Field of BCSIR Laboratories, Dhaka

Start Date: 00-01-1980

End Date: 00-04-1980

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Soybean

Objectives:

To study the effect of different management practices on the growth and yield of two recommended varieties of soybean.

Methodology:

The study was made in the Field of BCSIR Laboratories, Dhaka during January - April of 1980. The varieties used for the study were Bragg and Davis. Four management levels e.g, were poor, low, medium and high were carried out in this study. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with 3 replications having varieties in the main plots and management levels in the sub-plots. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.5m. The sources of N, P and K were urea, triple superphosphate and muriate of potash respectively. Cowdung was applied at the time of land preparation while phosphate and potash fertilizers were applied before sowing and N fertilizers 20 days after sowing. At harvest, data on plant height and number of branches and pods per plant were collected from ten randomly selected plants from each unit plot. The total seed obtained from unit plot was measured in gram. The collected data were statistically analyzed and the mean differences adjudged by Duncan's New Multiple Range Test.

Achievement/Findings:

The levels of management under study were poor, low, medium and high. In average performance, the two varieties were found to be identical in number of branches and pods per plant and seed yield. On an average, maximum number of branches and pods per plant as well as the highest seed yield were recorded with the medium level of management. As per variety x level interaction the highest seed yield was recorded with Bragg at medium and Davis at high level.
