Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Fourteen accessions were grown with check variety BARI Mung 6 in kharif-1, 2016 at Pulses research centre, Ishurdi, Pabna. Among the test entries significant differences were observed in all studied characters. Highest pods per plant (29) were found in Sonali followed by Meha and lowest (15) in BARI Mung 6. Bold size seeds (7.03 g) were obtained from BMX-97024-13 followed by BARI Mung 6 and small size seeds (3.98 g) from BMX-9009-6. The highest yield (1310 kg/ha) was obtained from BMX-97024-13 followed by Sukumar, IPM-02-03 and TMB 37 and lowest yield (915 kg/ha) from Pusa Vishal followed by PM-2 and BMX-9009-6. Finally, four entries BMX-97024-13, Sukumar, IPM-02-03 and TMB 37are selected for different breeding trials in the next year.

Start Date: 00-00-2015

End Date: 00-00-2016

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To evaluate the few genotypes of mungbean through their performance at Ishurdi condition.

Methodology:

Fourteen accessions of mungbean were grown with the check variety BARI Mung 6 in kharif-I, 2016 at Pulses Research Centre, Ishurdi, Pabna. The experiment was laid out in a RCB design with three replications and spacing of 40 cm between rows. Each entry was sown in 4 rows of 4m long plot. Seeds were sown in the rows carefully by hands at 3 cm depth and then covered by soils. Post sowing irrigation was given to ensure seed germination. Mulching was done and soil crusts were broken. Each of the entries were investigated from seedling to harvest and compared with checks. At maturity best individual lines were selected on the basis of earliness and higher yield. Yield data was recorded from the whole plot and converted into kg/ha. Data were analyzed following PLABSTAT computer program. Yield and yield contributing characters were presented.

Achievement/Findings:

Yield and yield contributing characters are presented in Table 59. Among the test entries significant differences were observed in all studied characters. Among the test entries BARI Mung 6 was flowered earlier (34 days) and entry BMX-9009-6 flowered late (48 days). In case of days to maturity BMX-97024-13 took minimum days (58 days) to mature and the entry BMX-9009-6 matured at late (69 days). BMX-9009-6 was the tallest followed and the dwarf was TMB-37. Highest pods per plant (29) were found in Sonali followed by Meha and lowest (15) in BARI Mung 6. Bold size seeds (7.03 g) were obtained from BMX-97024-13 followed by BARI Mung 6 and small size seeds (3.98 g) from BMX-9009-6. The highest yield (1310 kg/ha) was obtained from BMX-97024-13followed by Sukumar, IPM-02-03 and TMB 37 and lowest yield (915 kg/ha) from Pusa Vishal followed by PM-2 BMX-9009-6. So, considering higher yield, higher pods per plant and lowest days to mature four entries BMX-97024-13, Sukumar, IPM-02-03 and TMB 37are selected for different breeding trials in the next year.
