Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was carried out during 2007-2008 season in the research field of Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Dinajpur to know the effect of lime, Magnesium (Mg) and Boron (B) on yield and yield components of wheat and also their residual effect on mungbean. The geographical position of the area is between 25°62´ N, 88°63´ E and 38.20 meter above sea level. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications, both in wheat and mungbean. Treatments for wheat were (I) recommended fertilizer + Mg + B, (II) recommended fertilizer + lime + B + Mg, (III) recommended fertilizer + lime + Mg, (IV) recommended fertilizer + lime + B and (V) control (Only recommended fertilizer) and for mungbean were (I) recommended fertilizer + Mg + B, (II) 75% of recommended dose, (III) recommended fertilizer + B, (IV) recommended fertilizer + Mg and (V) control (without fertilizers). Results showed that the highest yield and yield components of wheat were recorded from recommended fertilizers + lime + B + Mg treated plot and the second highest were recorded from recommended fertilizers + lime + Mg treated plot. The lowest was recorded in control plot (only recommended fertilized). In case of mungbean the highest was found from recommended fertilizers + B treated plot, this treatment was limed in previously cultivated wheat crop and the lowest was recorded from control plot (without fertilizer).

Keywords: Wheat, Residual Effect, Mungbean, Magnesium, Lime and Boron

Start Date: 00-00-2007

End Date: 00-00-2008

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Wheat, Mungbean

Objectives:

To know the effect of lime, Mg and B on yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and their residual effect on mungbean (Vigna radiata L.).

Methodology:

The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications. For wheat treatments were- (I) recommended fertilizer + Mg + B, (II) recommended fertilizer + lime + B + Mg, (III) recommended fertilizer + lime + Mg, (IV) recommended fertilizer + lime + B and (V) control (Only recommended fertilizer). Unit plot size was 5×4 m. For liming, CaCO₃ was applied in treatment wise at the rate of 2 t ha^–1 and irrigation was done immediately after application. Mg and B were applied treatment wise at the rate of 10 and 1 kg ha^–1, respectively. For wheat experiment variety Prodip (BARI Gom-24) was used. Seed was treated with Provax-200 WP an effective seed treating fungicide, consisting of Carboxin and Thiramon. Sowing was done on 04 December 2007 in lines 20 cm apart at a seed rate of 140 kg ha^–1. Recommended fertilizer dose for wheat was 120- 35-50-20-4 kg ha^–1 N-P-K-S-Zn. Two-third of N and full amount of other fertilizers were applied as basal during final land preparation. Rest 1/3 of N fertilizer was applied after first irrigation on 21 days after sowing (DAS). Second and third irrigations were given at booting (47 DAS) and grain filling (78 DAS) stage. Weeds were controlled by spraying 2, 4-D Amine on 30 DAS. Other intercultural operations were done properly. The crop was harvested plot-wise at full maturity. Plots were harvested for wheat 3m long middle 19 rows (3×4m), for avoiding boarder effect. The sample plants were harvested separately. The harvested crop of each plot was bundled separately, tagged and taken to threshing floor. The bundles were thoroughly dried in bright sunshine, weighed and threshed respectively.Data on plants m^–2 (no.), tillers m^–2 (no.), spikes m^–2 (no.), plant height at maturity (cm), spike length (cm), Spikelets spike^–1 (no.), grains spike^–1 (no.), 1000-grain weight (g), straw yield (t ha–1), grain yield (t ha–1) and harvest index (%)were recorded.After harvested of wheat mungbean was grown in the same plots. Treatments for mungbean experiment were- (I) recommended fertilizer + Mg + B, (II) 75% of recommended dose, (III) recommended fertilizer + B, (IV) recommended fertilizer + Mg and (V) control (without fertilizers).Data on plants m–2 (no.), plant height at harvest (cm), Fresh weight of plants m^–2 (g), pods plant⁻¹ (no.), pod length (cm), seeds pods⁻¹ (no.), 1000- grain weight (g), biological yield (t ha^–1) and grain yield (t ha^–1) were recorded.Soil pH was measured immediately before liming, and 56 and 70 Days after liming (i.e. 42 and 56 DAS). Soil pH was measured in a 1:2 soil/water using glass electrode pH meter. Organic carbon, total N, Ca, Mg, P, K, S, Zn and B was determined.

Achievement/Findings:

From the results it is concluded that yield and yield components of wheat were the highest recommended fertilizers + lime + Mg + B treated plot and the second highest were recorded from recommended fertilizers + lime + Mg treated plot. The lowest was recorded in control plot (only recommended fertilized). In case of mungbean the highest was found from recommended fertilizer + B treated plot, which was limed in previously cultivated wheat crop and the lowest was recorded from control plot (without fertilized).
