Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present investigation was carried out at the Department of Soil Science, Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), Patuakhali, Bangladesh in 2013 to evaluate the growth and yield response of mungbean to different level of sulphur with Rhizobium. It was designed in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In this study yield and yield contributing characters of mungbean was influenced by different levels of sulphur with Rhizobium viz. T1: Rhizobium + Sulphur 0 kg ha-1 , T2: Rhizobium + Sulphur 15 kg ha-1 , T3: Rhizobium + Sulphur 30 kg ha-1 and T4: Rhizobium + Sulphur 45 kg ha-1 . Results indicate that the seed inoculation with Rhizobium showed some good results. The maximum plant height (52.37 cm), leaf per plant (36.50), branches per plant (23.60), root length (38.92cm), leaf area (25.06 cm2 ), nodule plant-1 (15.34), dry shoot weight (7.15 g), dry root weight (0.721 g) , total pods per plant (22.48), pod length (8.34 cm), number grains per pod (6.57),1000-seed weight (35.47g) and grain yield (2.04 t ha-1 ), were recorded from the combined application of sulphur @ 30 kg ha-1 with Rhizobium.

Objectives:

The present research was aimed to determine the effect of different levels of sulphur with Rhizobium on growth and yield of mungbean.

Methodology:

The present research work was carried out in the experimental research farm, of the Department of Soil Science, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali during the period from December, 2012 to March 2013, to study the effect of different levels of sulphur with Rhizobium on growth and yield of mungbean. The experimental location was situated geographically at 220 37⁰ N latitude and 890 10⁰ E longitudes. The area is covered by Gangetic Tidal Floodplains and falls under Agroecological Zone “AEZ– 13”. The area lies at 0.9 to 2.1 meter above mean sea level (Iftekhar and Islam, 2004). The experimental treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The experimental unit was divided into 3 blocks and unit plots of 12 m2 (4 m x 3.0 m) sizes in each plot. Four levels of sulphur with Rhizobium viz. T1: Rhizobium + Sulphur 0 kg ha-1 , T2: Rhizobium + Sulphur 15 kg ha-1 , T3: Rhizobium + Sulphur 30 kg ha-1 and T4: Rhizobium + Sulphur 45 kg ha-1 . BARI Mung-6, a promising and recommended mungbean variety, was selected for the investigation. The experimental field was prepared as necessary to obtain a desirable tilth and fertilized the plots at the rate of 10, 40 and 10 kg ha-1 of urea, triple super phosphate and muriate of potash, respectively. One-half urea and all fertilizers were applied at the time of final land preparation and the rest urea was top dressed at 30 days after sowing (DAS). All agronomic practices were applied as per recommendation. Data on plant characters were recorded at different stages (30, 45, 60 and 75 DAS) viz, plant height, leaf per plant, branches per plant, root length, leaf area, dry weight of shoot, dry weight of root, while yield contributing attributes viz. number of pod per plant, pod length, number of seed per pod thousand seed weight and seed yield per hectare were recorded at harvest. The data obtained from experiment on various parameters were statistically analyzed in MSTAT–C computer program (Russel, 1986). The mean values for all the parameters were calculate and the analysis of variance for the characters was accomplished by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) and the significance of difference between pair of means was tested by the Least Significant Differences (LSD) test at 5 % levels of probability (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

Considering the findings from the present study, it can be summarized that application of 30 kg sulphur ha1 with Rhizobium was observed the most suitable for optimizing the yield of mungbean. There is enough scope to explore and exploit the production of mungbean in Bangladesh through using Rhizobium technology along with sulphur.
