Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Agricultural Botany Department, Sher-eBangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from the period of August, 2009 to April, 2010 (kharif -2 season). Five Mungbean varieties namely BARI Mung-2 (M₂), BARI Mung-3 (M₃), BARI Mung-4 (M₄), BARI Mung-5 (M₅) and BARI Mung-6 (M₆) were used in the experiment to observe their yield attributes in different plant spacing viz. 20x10 cm (D₁), 30 x10 cm (D₂) and 40 x10 cm (D₃). Yield and yield contributing characters varied significantly due to variation in varieties and plant spacings. BARI Mung-2 and BARI Mung-6 produced the highest and the lowest yield of 938.20 and 592.88 kg ha^-1 respectively. The plant spacing 20x10 cm produced the highest (1044.03 kg ha^-1) and 40x10 cm produced the lowest yield (621.97 kg ha^-1). In case of interaction of variety and spacing BARI Mung-2 with 20x10 cm produced the highest yield of 1284.9 kg ha^-1.

Start Date: 00-08-2009

End Date: 00-04-2010

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To observe the effect of different plant spacing on the yield attributes and yield of some widely cultivated mungbean varieties of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Agricultural Botany Department, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh from the period of August, 2009 to April, 2010 (kharif -2 season). Five Mungbean varieties namely BARI Mung-2 (M₂), BARI Mung-3 (M₃), BARI Mung-4 (M₄), BARI Mung-5 (M₅) and BARI Mung-6 (M₆) were used in the experiment to observe their yield attributes in different plant spacings viz. 20x10 cm (D_i), 30x10 cm (D₂) and 40x10 cm (D₃). The experiment was laid out with randomized complete block design and with three replications. The unit plot size was 2.5 x1.5 m. The land was prepared properly with ploughing and laddering. The fertilizers were given during the final land preparation at the dose of 20 kg N ha^-1, 40 kg P₂O₅ ha^-1 and 20 kg K₂0 ha^-1 in the form of urea, tripple supperphosphate (TSP) and muriate of potash (MP). Other intercultural operations were performed as per requirement and recommendation. Data on different parameters were taken according to the maturity time of different varieties. The yielded seeds were adjusted at 12% moisture level before taking weight. The data were analyzed by MSTAT program and mean differences were tested by Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DIVIRT).

Achievement/Findings:

From the study, it can be concluded that variety and spacing significantly influence the yield components and yield of mungbean. For, kharif-2 season 20X10 cm spacing is good. Among the varieties BARI Mung-2 produced the highest yield, BARI Mung-5 produced the highest no. of seeds plant^-1 and the longest pod, BARI Mung-3 produced the highest no. of pod plant^-1.
