Crop Physiology Division, Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, P.O. Box- 4, Mymensmgh-2200, Bangladesh.

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Three experiments were conducted at farmers' field of Rangpur zone during K.harif-I season of 1999-2001 to evaluate the performance of four mungbean varieties viz., BINA moog 2, BINA moog 5, BART moog 2 and BARI moog 5. Result revealed that the mean value over three years, BINA moog 5 had the highest seed yield (I091 kg/ha) than in the other tested varieties because of produced greater number of pods/plant and 100-seed weight. Moreover, BINA moog 5 matured 5 days earlier than the others. On the other hand, BAR! moog 4 performed the lowest in respect of yield attributes and yield (812 kg/ha). So, BINA moog 5 may be recommended as commercial cultivation in Rangpur zone of Bangladesh.

End Date: 00-00-2001

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of four mungbean varieties in Kharif-1 season belonging to the AEZ of Tista Meander Floodplain.

Methodology:

Experiments were conducted at farmer's field of Rangpur Sadar Upazilla during Kharif-1 season of 1999, 2000 and 2001. Four varieties viz., BINA moog 2, BARI moog 2, BARI moog 4 and BINA moog 5 were assessed under farmers' management conditions for yield performance. Experiments were set up in three different villages and evaluated over three years. Experimental designs were Randomized Complete Block with three replications and unit plot size was 3m x 2m. seeds were sown after potato harvest viz. 10 March, 15 March and 25 March for the consecutive years of 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Sowing times were different as farmers normally sow summer mungbean after potato harvest. Seeds @ 30 kg/ha were sown in lines with plant spacing of 10 cm and 30 cm apart. Fertilizers were applied @ 40-80-50 kg/ha of urea, triple super phosphate and muriate of potash, respectively (Afzal et al., 1998). Total amount of fertilizers were applied as basal dose during final land preparation . Intercultural operations were followed as and when necessary to ensure normal growth . Data on yield components were taken from 10 randomly selected plants of each plot and seed yield was taken from the whole plot. The recorded data were subjected to statistical analyses and means were tested by Duncun 's Multiple Range Test.
