Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during the period from February to April of 2012 to find out the effect of different levels of nitrogen on growth and yield performance as well as nutrient content of mungbean (BARIMung-6). Four levels of nitrogen viz. N₀ (Control), N₁ (10 kg ha^-1), N₂ (20 kg ha^-1) and N3 (25 kg ha^-1) were used on experiment followed by Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Maximum plant height (40.52 cm), number of leaves (19.14), number of branches (10.09), average dry weight/plant (7.35 g), number of pods/plant (15.90), number of seeds/pod (4.49), 1000-seed weight (42.56 g), seed yield (1.06/ha), stover yield (2.08/ha), N content in seed (3.60), P content in seed (0.48) and K content in seed (1.26) were found in N₃ which was statistically similar with N₂whereas minimum from N₀.

Keywords: Mungbean, Growth, Yield, Nutrient content

Location: Experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-02-2012

End Date: 00-04-2012

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To find out the effect of different levels of nitrogen on growth and yield performance as well as nutrient content of mungbean (BARIMung-6).

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) Farm, Dhaka during the period from February to April of 2012 to find out the effect of different levels of nitrogen on growth and yield performance as well as nutrient content of mungbean (BARIMung-6). Four levels of nitrogen viz. N₀ (Control), N₁ (10 kg ha^-1), N₂ (20 kg ha^-1) and N₃ (25 kg ha^-1) were applied on the experiment which was followed by Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The size of the each plot was 3 m x 2 m. The land was ploughed twice followed by laddering. Seeds were sown on 21^stFebruary 2012 @ 35 kg ha^-1by maintaining 10 cm plant to plant and 30 cm line to line distance. Nitrogen fertilizer (Urea) was applied as per treatments along with zinc sulphate (@ 2.0 kg ha^-1) during the final land preparation. The insecticide Sumithion 57 EC was sprayed @ 0.02% at the time of pod formation to control pod borer. The crops were harvested at a time due to synchronous maturity of pods. The crop bundles were sun dried for two days on threshing floor. Seeds were separated from the plants by beating the bundles with bamboo sticks. The collected seeds were dried in sun to lower the moisture content to 12% level. The dried and cleaned seed and stover were weighed. Ten plants were randomly selected prior to maturity from each plot for data recording. Data were collected on plant height, number of leaves/plant, number of branches/plant, number of pods/plant, number of seeds/pod, weight of thousand seed, seed yield and stover yield. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content on seed were also measured. The plant material (seed) were dried in an oven at 600 C at 72 hours after sun drying and finely ground in a grinder machine for chemical analysis. Then the prepared samples were put into paper bags. The total nitrogen was determined from the seed sample by macro Kjeldahl method. Phosphorus in the digest was determined colorimetrically using SnCl₂ as reducing agent. The collected data on different growth and yield parameters and nutrient contents of mungbean were statistically analyzed. The means for all treatments were calculated and the analysis of variances for all the characters were performed by ‘F’ variance test using MSTAT-C computer package program. The significance of difference between pair of means was performed by the Dancan’s Multiple Range Test.

Achievement/Findings:

Application of the 25 kg N/ha provided the best performance on growth, yield and NPK content in seed of BARIMug-6 and it can be concluded that application of the nitrogenous fertilizers could increases the growth and yield of the mungbean.
