Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the charland of the Bhuapur under Tangail district during rabi season 2013-14 to evaluate the performance of three bush bean varieties (BARI Jharsheem-1, BARI Jharsheem -2, BARI Jharsheem -3). Yield and yield attributes of bush bean varieties significantly differed in charland. The highest pod yield (13.03 t ha^-1) was obtained from BARI Jharsheem -2 with higher number of pods plant^-1(16.48). The lowest pod yield was obtained from BARI Jharsheem -3. The results revealed that BARI Jharsheem -2 and BARI Jharsheem -1 would be suitable for cultivation in charlad of Bhuapur under Tangail district.

Start Date: 02-12-2013

End Date: 03-02-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

The experiment was conducted to select suitable HYV bush bean for charland area.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the charland of the village Hat Chandra of sadar upazila of Tangail district during rabi season 2013-14. Three BARI developed bush bean varieties viz., BARI Jharsheem -1, BARI Jharsheem-2 and BARI Jharsheem -3 were evaluated. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 6 dispersed replications. Seeds were sown on 02 December 2013 with 30 cm X 10 cm spacing. The unit plot size was 4.5 m x 3m. The crop was fertilized with 120-40-60 -12-3 N-P₂O₅-K₂O-S-Zn ha^-1, respectively (FRG, 2012). Half of N and full doses of other fertilizers were applied at the time of final land preparation and the rest urea was top dressed 35 days after sowing (DAS). Seeds was treated with vitavax @. Two hand weeding was done at 25 and 40 days after sowing (DAS). Pre sowing irrigation was given to the crop for uniform emergence. The crop was attacked by cutworm (Agrotis ipsilon) and hairy caterpillar (Spilarctia obliqua) at early growth (vegetative) stage. The cutworm was controlled through hand picking Perfecthion 40EC @ 2.0 ml L^-1of water was sprayed at an interval of 7-10 days for 3 times to control hairy caterpillar. The crop was harvested during 3 February, 2014 to 12 March, 2014. Data on yield contributing characters were recorded from 10 randomly selected plants from each plot. Yield was calculated from whole plot. Collected data were analyzed statistically and means were compared using LSD test at 1% level of significance.
