Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of Miyobi on morpho-physiological, yield attributes and yield of lentil cv. Binamasur-2 and Binamasur-3 to investigate the effect of Miyobi on growth, morphological features, yield attributes and yield in lentil . The experiment comprised five levels of Miyobi viz. 0, 2, 4 and 6 mgL^-1 sprayed on lentil plants at 30 days after sowing. Results revealed that application of Miyobi increased plant height, branch number, leaf area, LAI, TDM, AGR and yield contributing characters over control. The highest branch number, leaf area, leaf area index, TDM, AGR and yield contributing characters were recorded in 4 mgL^-1 Miyobi applied plant while the highest plant height was observed in 6 mgL^-1. Control showed the lowest of the above studied parameters. The highest seed yield was recorded in 4 mgL^-1 Miyobi applied plant due to increased number of pods plant^-1. In contrast, 6.0 mgL^-1Miyobi applications had the adverse effect on yield attributes and yield compared to 4 mgL^-1 Miyobi application indicating inhibitory effect of Miyobi at high concentration of 6 mgL^-1 on lentil. Therefore, Miyobi with 4 mgL^-1 may be applied for increased seed yield of lentil.

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Lentil

Objectives:

To study the effect of Miyobi on growth, morphological features, yield attributes and yield in lentil; and to find out the optimum dose of Miyobi for getting higher yield.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the period from November 2006 to March 2007, to investigate the effect of Miyobi application on morphological characters, growth, yield attributes and yield in a lentil varietites cv. Binamasur-2 and Binamasur-3. The experiment was comprised of five levels of Miyobi viz., 0, 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 mgL^-1 sprayed on mungbean at 30 days after sowing. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Urea, triple super phosphate (TSP), muriate of potash (MP) and gypsum were used as source of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, respectively. Total amount of urea, TSP, MP and gypsum were applied at basal doses during final land preparation. The doses of fertilizers were: urea 40, TSP 80, MP 60 and gypsum 50 kg ha^-1. To study ontogenetic growth characteristics, a total of four harvests were made and at final harvest, data were collected on some morpho-physiological, yield attributes and yield. The first crop sampling was done at 50 days after sowing (DAS) and continued at an interval of 10 days up to 80 DAS. From each plot five plants were randomly selected and uprooted for obtaining data of necessary parameters. The plants were separated into leaves, stems and roots and the corresponding dry weights were recorded after oven dry at 80 ± 2 ⁰C for 72 hours. The leaf area of each sample was measured by LICOR automatic leaf area meter. The growth analysis like absolute growth rate and leaf area index were carried out following the formulae of Hunt (1978). At harvest, yield attributes and seed yield was recorded. The collected data were analyzed statistically and the means were adjudged by DMRT at 5% level of significance.

Achievement/Findings:

Foliar application of Miyobi at vegetative stage had significant positive influence on morpho-physiological characters, yield attributes and seed yield of lentil over control; and application of Miyobi @ 4.0 mg L^-1 had remarkable superiority for plant growth, yield components and yield over the other doses of Miyobi. So, Miyobi with 4.0 mg L^-1 may be applied for increased seed yield of lentil.
