Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Ten entries of mungbean collected from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan were evaluated at Pulses Research Centre, Ishurdi, Pabna during Kharif I, 2016 which laid out in a RCB design with 3 replications with a view to select promising genotypes. Significant differences among the genotypes were observed in case of all characters studied. The entry MB-03 followed by MB-04 and MB-06flowered earlier. In case of maturity, MB-04 followed by MB-03 and MB-08 matured earlier. Highest pods/plant was obtained from MB-09 followed by MB-10 and lowest was obtained from MB-01. Among the entries highest yield (901 kg/ha) was obtained from MB-06 followed by MB-03 and MB-08.

Keywords: Pulse, Kharif I, Lentil, Grain yield, Mungbean, MB-03, MB-08

Location: Pulses Research Centre, BARI, Ishurdi, Pubna, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-00-2015

End Date: 00-00-2016

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To develop such a bridge between each of the member countries, such an experiment on mungbean was programmed with genotypes collected from different SAARC countries through SAIC, Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment laid out in a RCB design with 3 replications at Pulses Research Centre, Ishurdi, Pabna during Kharif I, 2016. Seeds were sown in the field on 25 March, 2016. Each entry was sown in unit plot of 3 rows × 4 m long with spacing of 40×10 cm. 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 check. Grain yield was calculated from the whole plot. At maturity best individual genotypes were selected on the basis of earliness, disease reaction and higher yield. Yield data was recorded from the whole plot and converted into kg/ha. The statistical analysis was done using PLABSTAT and MSTAT C computer software. Yield and yield contributing characters were presented.

Achievement/Findings:

Significant differences were observed among the genotypes in all characters. The entry MB-03 followed by MB-04 and MB-06 flowered earlier. In case of maturity, MB-04 followed by MB-03 and MB-08 matured earlier. MB-05 followed by MB-10 had the tallest plants and MB-03 had the dwarf plants. Highest pods/plant was obtained from MB-09 followed by MB-10 and lowest was obtained from MB-01. Among the entries highest yield (901 kg/ha) was obtained from MB-06 followed by MB-03 and MB-08. Considering above all the characteristics, MB-08, MB-06 and MB-03 was found better in respect of yield and related attributes. This experiment may be repeated in the next year for more confirmation of results.
