Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University farm from April to June 2017 in Kharif season to evaluate the performance of two mungbean varieties under different NPK fertilizers doses in field conditions. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD), comprising six treatments with three replications. In the experiment, varieties used were BARI mung-6 and BARI mung-5 and the combination of the treatment were T₀ = (control), T₁ (10-40-25 NPK kg ha^-1), T₂ (10-60-45 NPK kg ha^-1), T₃ (20-50-35 NPK kg ha^-1), T₄ (30-40-25 NPK kg ha^-1) and T₅ (30-40-45 NPK kg ha^-1), respectively. Mungbean cultivars responded noticeably to the supplementary NPK fertilizers as the crop characters were significantly influenced by different levels of NPK fertilizers. Data were recorded on plant height, leaves plant^-1, branches plant^-1, pods plant^-1, seeds pod^-1, 1000-seed weight, seed, and straw yield at different days after sowing. Of the two varieties, BARI mung-6 gave the highest seed yield (1.72 t ha^-1) next to the higher plant growth and straw yield On the contrary, BARI mung-5 cultivar produced the lowest seed yield (1.57t ha^-1), plant growth, and straw yield. The results showed that T₃ (20- 50-35 NPK kg ha^-1) treatment was the best treatment as regards plant growth and yield parameters. The highest seed yield was produced by treated plot T₃ (20-50-35 NPK kg ha^-1) over the untreated control plot, T₁, T₂, T₄, and T₅, respectively. As for the combined effect, V₁T₃ (BARI mung-6 and T₃ = 20kg N + 50kg P + 35kg K ha^-1) performed the best results in all growth and development characters. Therefore, the combined application of 20-50-35 kg NPK ha^-1 might be considered to be found optimal to get a considerable seed yield of mungbean variety BARI mung-6.

Objectives:

To determine the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers on growth and yield attributes of mungbean in field conditions.

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted on a field farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period of Kharif season from April to June 2017, to determine the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers on the growth and yield attributes of mungbean. The soil of the experimental field belongs to the Tejgaon series under the Agroecological Zone, Madhupur Tract (AEZ- 28), and the General Soil Type is Deep Red Brown Terrace Soils. Initial physical and chemical properties of experimental field soils characterized by Sand 33%, Silt 41%, Clay 26%, Silty-clay textural class, pH 5.7, organic matter (%) 1.09, total N (%) 0.05, available P (ppm), 21.54, exchangeable K (me/100 g soil) 0.15. Mungbean cultivars, BARI mung-6 (V₁), and BARI mung-5 (V₂) were used as test crops, and fertilizer doses nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) potassium (K) were used as nutrient treatments. There were six (6) fertilizer dose combinations as follows: T0 =Control, T₁ = 10 kg N + 40 kg P+25 kg K ha^-1 , T₂ = 10 kg N + 60 kg P + 45 kg K ha^-1 , T₃ = 20 kg N + 50 kg P + 35 kg K ha^-1 , T₄ = 30 kg N + 40 kg P + 25 kg K ha^-1 and T₅ = 30 kg N + 40 kg P + 45 kg K ha^-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The sources of N, P₂O₅, and K₂O from urea, triple superphosphate (TSP), muriate of potash (MoP), were applied, respectively. The whole amount of urea, the total amounts of TSP, MoP were applied during the final land preparation. Well, rotten cow dung (10 t/ha) was also mixed thoroughly with soils during the final experimental plot preparation. Ten (10) plants from each plot were selected at random and tagged for the data collection. The data were analyzed using the MSTAT-C statistical tool to find out the significance of the difference among the treatments and the mean values of all the parameters were evaluated and analysis of variance was performed by using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT).

Achievement/Findings:

The outcome of this experiment with mungbean cultivar and inorganic fertilizers may be accomplished that the combined application of T₃ (20-50-35 kg NPKha^-1) inorganic fertilizers doses may be suggested for receiving higher grain production of mungbean cultivar BARI mung-6. It is rational and financially feasible to use the optimum dose of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for the maximum yield of mungbean. The study's findings indicated that nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer individual and combined application enhanced the growth and yield contributing characters effectiveness of mungbean in field condition. So, further investigation is looked for in this path with other varieties of mungbean to specific the present findings of this research.
