Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Use of chemical fertilizer in the crop field is harmful though its bring bit higher yield in production but it causes devastating harm in near future like destruction of soil friability, reduction of living microorganism, leach away ground water before they use, encourage plant disease etc. So alternate practice should be followed. An experiment was conducted at Gabua village under Badarpur Union, Patuakhali to study the performance evaluation of chemical fertilizer, biofertilizer and fertilizer rate (only urea) on performance of Mung. The study was done using BARI Mung 6 and Power Tiller Operated Seeder (PTOS) was used as cultivation technique The result from the experiment shows that there is no significant difference in plant number and 1000 grain weight (g) among those treatments and their mean were 31.11, 29, 28.55 and 38.28g, 36.97g, 36.39g respectively. But other yield attributing characters shows significant variation among treatments i.e. chemical fertilizer used field, biofertilizer used field and farmers’ practiced mungbean field respectively. Average grain yield in biofertilizer applied field was significantly higher than farmers practiced field. Mean of grain yield were 0.66, 0.57 and 0.49 t/ha respectively.

Location: Patuakhali Sadar Upazilla

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fertilizer, Bio fertilizer

Objectives:

The study was carried out to know the differences in yield and yield component of three (3) treatments and recommended dose of urea.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Gabua village under Badarpur Unoin which is situated at the northern side of Patuakhali Sadar Upazilla in Rabi season in 2016-17. The variety of mungbean that used for experiment was BARI Mung 6. This experiment was laid out as RCBD with 3 treatments and 3 replications. Seeding was done using Power Tiller Operated Seeder (PTOS) on January 23 and 24, 2017 and the spacing was 30cm x 8 cm with the seed rate of 25 kg/ha. The each plot size was 400 sq.m. Production technology followed as per BARI manual (Krishi Projukti Hatboi). In 1st treatment all fertilizers (Urea, TSP, MoP, Boric Acid) were applied before land preparation in chemical fertilizer treated plot and in 2nd treatment bio fertilizer (microbial inocula) were applied mixing with seed as per BARI recommendation. We applied only urea as per recommendation in farmers’ field. All fertilizers were applied before land preparation. Bio fertilizer was applied mixing with seed. All data were collected during harvesting while 80% pods turned into black/brown color and after harvesting. Data were collected from 1.2 sq.m and each plot had 3 sampling point. For measuring dry moisture Lab oven was used and sample were dried at 70°C. Grain yield and other yield component data were collected after sun drying of pods using electrical balance. Statistical analysis All data on yield and yield components were subjected to single factor (cultivar) analysis of variance in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The data were analysed using statistical software R.

Achievement/Findings:

Chemical fertilizer can inhibit plant growth. Increase allergenic pollen production, affect the dynamics of several vector borne disease. Although it increases crop yield but it is reducing soil health gradually which alarming or agricultural sector and human health Biofertilizers can be expected to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The microorganisms in bio-fertilizers restore the soil's natural nutrient cycle and build soil organic matter. Through the use of biofertilizers, healthy plants can be grown, while enhancing the sustainability and the health of the soil. They are extremely advantageous in enriching soil fertility and fulfilling plant nutrient requirements by supplying the organic nutrients. Bio-fertilizers do not contain any chemicals. This research concluded that farmer can increase the yield of mungbean by applying biofertilizer rather than only using nitrogen in their field for production of mungbean.
