Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted at Pulses Research Centre and Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi during rabi season of 2018-19 to find out the suitable cultivars on the growth and yield of Field pea under relay conditions. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. There were six cultivars, e.g. BFP 11016, Bagha local, BARI Motor-1, BARI Motor-3, Jikorgacha local and Sikim local. Among the field pea cultivars, the highest seed yield was obtained from Bagha local (1.1 t/ha) followed by BARI Motor-3 (1.0 t/ha) while the lowest seed yield (0.4 t/ha) was obtained from BFP 11016. However, this was the first year trial and will be continued for the next two years for the concrete conclusion.

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Pea, Rice

Objectives:

The present study has been undertaken to find out the suitable cultivars of field pea for increasing production by the resource-poor farmers under relay conditions with T.aman rice.

Methodology:

The field experiment was conducted at Pulses Research Centre and Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna during rabi season of 2018-19. The experiment was established on 31 October 2018 and harvested on 4 March 2019. Six cultivars such as BFP 11016, Bagha local, BARI Motor-1, BARI Motor-3, Jikorgacha local and Sikim local were evaluated for the present experiment. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The dimensions of the plots were 5 m x 4 m. The soil was sandy loam having pH 7.5. The fertilizers @ 20-20-20 NPK kg/ha were applied during the final land preparation. The seed was broadcasted in the existing rice field before 15 days of rice harvest and the seed rate was 80 kg/ha. Rice was harvested retaining 40 cm rice straw from the ground level. One hand weeding was done 20 days after sowing (DAS) for controlling the weed. Tafgor @ 2ml/Lwas used one time for controlling aphid at 30 DAS. Data on yield contributing characters were recorded from 10 randomly selected plants from each plot and grain yield (t/ha) was recorded from the whole plot after harvest. The GenStat 15th Edition software package was used for all statistical analyses. The mean differences between treatments were separated by the least significant difference (LSD) at P≤ 0.05 for the measured variables.

Achievement/Findings:

All the yield components such as plant population/m², plant height, branches/plant, pods/plant, seed/pod, pod length and 1000-seed weight and yield were significantly affected by different varieties/germplasm of field pea. BFP 11016 and Jikorgacha local flowered earlier (52.0 and 52.7 days) and Sikim local flowered late (56.7 days). Similarly, BFP 11016 and Jikorgacha local matured early (111.3 and 113.0 days) and Sikim local took maximum days (119.7 days) to mature. The highest number of plant population/m² (36.3) was recorded from Bagha local while the lowest plant population/m² (15.0) was recorded from BFP 11016. The plant of Sikim local was the tallest (119.1) while the plant of BFP 11016 was the shortest (77.3). The branches/plant of Bagha local and BARI Motor-3 (4.0) were higher than that of other cultivars and the lowest branches/plant was recorded from BFP 11016 (1.8). The highest pods/plant (22.7) was obtained from Bagha local and the lowest (5.9) from BFP 11016. However, the number of seeds/ pod was higher in BARI Motor-3 (5.9) and Bagha local (5.7) while the number of seeds/ pod was lower in Sikim local (4.5) and Jikorgacha local (4.7). The pod length was higher in Sikim local (6.5 cm) and in BFP 11016 (5.9 cm). The highest 1000-seed weight was recorded from Sikim local (223.3 g) and the lowest from Bagha local and BARI Motor-1 (63.3). The yield was higher in Bagha local and BARI Motor-3 (1.1 and 1.0 t/ha) followed by Jikorgacha local and BARI Motor-1 (0.8 t/ha) and lower in BFP 11016 (0.4 t/ha). The highest seed yield was obtained from Bagha local and BARI Motor-3 which might be attributed to higher plant population/m², branches/plant, pods/plant and seeds/pod. In conclusion, the highest seed yield was obtained from Bagha local and BARI Motor-3 by experimenting with soil that was suitable for relay crops.
