Effect of Planting Time on the Production of Mungbean

Chief Scientific Officer & Head, OFRD and Relevant Scientists of OFRD

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was carried out at the MLT site of Kushtia sadar under Kushtia during the kharif season of 2013-14. Purpose was to find out the optimum planting time of mungbean cultivation in changing climatic condition and thus to increase yield and farmers income. Three treatments T₁= 10March, T₂= 20 March, T₃= 30 March were evaluated following randomized complete block design with six dispersed replications. Result indicated that 10 March planting gave better yield (1.59t ha^-1) among all other treatments and it also gave the highest gross return of Tk.71685 ha^-1 and gross margin ,Tk. 29160 ha^-1).

Keywords: Mungbean, Planting time, Yield, Gross margin

Location: Kushtia sadar, Kushtia district

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To find the suitable planting time of mungbean.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the MLT site of Kushtia sadar under Kushtia district during the kharif season of 2013-14. The variety was BARI Mung-6. There were three sowing times viz. T₁= 10 March, T₂=20 March, T₃= 30 March. The experiment was laid out in a RCBD with six replications. Seeds were sown on 10-30 March, 2014 at Kushtia with a spacing of 30cm x 5cm. Unit plot size was 10m x 10m. The trial was fertilized with 13.8-19.5-18.75- 8.4-1.8 kg ha^-1 of N-P-K-S and B, respectively. All fertilizer was applied as basal. Eight times spraying (Tafgar 1 time, Imitaf 4 times and Nitro 3 times) were done. The crop was harvested during 12 May to 6 June 2014. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were recorded and analyzed using Mstat-C.

Achievement/Findings:

Mungbean production may be profitable in case of early sowing i.e in 10 March. To confirm finding, experiment should be continued in the coming year(s).
